We argue that the gamma-ray sources observed in the direction of the Cyg OB2 association are due to a single pulsar created a few 104 yrs ago. The excess of cosmic rays at ˜ 1018 eV from the direction of the Cygnus region can be caused by neutrons which are produced by nuclei in collisions with the matter of the high density region of the Cyg OB2. The nuclei have been injected by the young pulsar and captured in dense core of the Cyg OB2.
