Cyprus’ Justice Minister, Anna Prokopiou-Koukkides has given reassurances that, due to the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean after the escalation of violence in Israel and Palestine, all the necessary security measures were being taken.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of an event, the Minister referred to the actions of the Republic of Cyprus in order to respond to this crisis, without going into details.
