Cyprus condemned on Sunday the terrorist attacks in Copenhagen, Denmark, in which two persons tragically lost their lives and five police officers were wounded.
“This is yet another alarming reminder that terrorism knows no borders. Acts of terrorism oppose and seek to undermine our fundamental values of freedom of expression, the rule of law, the respect and tolerance towards different faiths and beliefs. These values we share and espouse. We stand by Denmark in its continuing determination to tackle terrorism” a press release of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
The Ministry expressed deep condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims and to the people of Denmark.
Government Spokesman Nikos Christodoulides condemning the incident, he said that "it is something that raises concerns".
"Only recently at the European Council the Heads of States and Governments adopted a joint statement with regard to terrorist attacks in Europe. Nicosia is taking all possible measures, in cooperation with our partners, so that any unpleasant event is averted” he stressed.
