Cyprus government is set to deport those who took part in violent clashes at the Pournara Reception Center, Interior Minister Nicos Nouris said. The violence erupted after Nigerian and Congolese nationals disagreed about whose turn it was to charge their mobile phone. Cypriot riot police had quelled the violence at a migrant reception centre after clashes between different nationalities caused a fire outbreak, authorities said.
Minister of the Interior, Nicos Nouris, will sign an agreement in Switzerland providing a financial contribution of €10 million to Cyprus for the management of migration flows.
