Limassol, Cyprus. Archival photo UN, July 16 Deputy Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Anna Evstigneeva urged the UN Secretariat not to distort data on the reasons for the decline in tourist flow in the direction of Cyprus, as well as economic inequality between communities on the island. A closed meeting of the Security Council was held on Monday UN on the situation in Cyprus, where the reports of the UN Secretary General on the situation in the settlement were discussed. «Reports of the Secretary General argue that the crisis in Ukraine led to a decline in tourist flows, primarily in the North, to a deepening of the «gap» in the economic situation and, accordingly, contributed to the growth of distrust between communities,” Yevstigneeva told reporters. According to her, such an “analysis” is at least inaccurate. “Firstly, economic inequality between communities has existed for a long time and is caused by differences in access to markets. Secondly, the reports do not say anything about the fact that a significant proportion of the tourist flow to the island is Russians, whose presence has sharply decreased in the states that have joined the illegal anti-Russian sanctions,» she said. than to be useful, and inappropriate linkages are in no way capable of accelerating the Cyprus settlement process,» Evstigneeva stressed. She called on the UN secretariat to be more responsible in analyzing the situation in Cyprus. .jpg» />UN welcomes efforts to alleviate the world's food crisis
