Reactions against EU for the sanctions against Russia

South Cyprus is continuing its reactions against the attempt started by European Union for extending the sanctions imposed on Russia for six months and taking new measures.

Greek Cypriot daily Alithia and other newspapers reported that some EU countries including  South Cyprus and Greece have reacted against new sanctions imposed on Russia and the issue will be discussed in the meeting of EU Foreign Affairs Ministers to be held in Brussels.

The newspaper noted that Greek Cypriot government declared that it has reacted against the new sanctions and also Greek Cypriot political parties made statements critisizing EU yesterday.

In his statement made the day before, Greek Cypriot government Spokesman Nikos Christodulides expressed that Greek Cypriot government does not support the sanction document prepared by EU and most probably the document will not be approved because of reactions of many countries.
