Nicosia, Jul 6 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government is continuously making representations to international organisations as regards the ongoing illegal settling of Cyprus' Turkish occupied areas, Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides said, adding that the number of settlers in the occupied areas has increased.

Commenting on stories in the Turkish press saying that thousands of Turkish settlers-workers have left the occupied areas, Chrysostomides said that the press refrains from saying that during the past few days 25-30 thousand Turks from mainland Turkey came to the occupied areas and some of them are receiving ''residence permissions.''
