Turkish Cypriot authorities warned that a plan for Greek Cypriot and European bikers to force their way across the divided island's UN- patrolled buffer zone threatens peace. Their warning came on top of threats by the Turkish military to shoot anyone who crosses the Green Line buffer zone at a bikers' mass rally at the weekend.

Hundreds of bikers from several European countries were to take a ship from Greece to Cyprus ahead of a bid to ride into the Turkish-occupied parts of Cyprus on Sunday in what they say is an attempt to publicise the Cyprus problem. Reuter - Nicosia
