[01] CYPRUS GOVERNMENT - BASKETBALL INCIDENTS

According to an announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ``the President of the Republic himself has already also condemned the incidents``.

``In exercising its duties in an effective manner, the Cyprus Police Force took right from the outset all necessary measures and provided full protection to the mission of the visiting team, which had not been put in jeopardy. The aforesaid is also confirmed by statements made by the head of the Turkish mission``, the announcement says.

Regrettably, Foreign Ministry`s announcement says, such dismal events do occasionally occur at sporting events in European countries.

``Cypriot teams were treated similarly in the past while in Turkey, although the Government of the Republic of Cyprus has never tried to attach any political connotation to such incidents. It is also reminded that Turkish sports teams have competed many times in Cyprus without any problems whatsoever``, is added.
