There will be other entries on the sanctions list, as stated by the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulidis, noting that it does not refer to citizens of the Republic of Cyprus, it does not rule out the existence of entities, legal or natural persons, located within the Republic of Cyprus.

In his statements to journalists, on the sidelines of a futsal match, in the context of the Telethon 2023, the President of the Republic, when asked if the Republic of Cyprus received information on the issue of sanctions from the USA and the UK, replied that “so far we have not received any data, but I can tell you that, yes, we are expecting moment by moment, we have been informed that we will be given data. They will be given to us gradually, they will not be given to us in one phase, because both from the US and the British Authorities side, many services, many Authorities are involved”.

“What I want to repeat is that we, on our part, are doing everything possible, we will do everything that needs to be done, so that our country, under no circumstances, is considered to be a which violates sanctions, does not apply sanctions and so on. It is our opportunity, in quotes and without quotes, to end this matter, to clear the name of our country once and for all. It has been an effort for many years, it is not these days that it started. Over time efforts were made and these efforts brought results”, he emphasized and added:

“This result, our goal is to improve it even more in relation to everything and the impression that exists for our country, but also for the reality, what is really happening in these areas. And we will not allow anyone who thinks they can be infringing, creating trouble at the same time and in the name of our country, to continue with this kind of behavior. From there on, we will see the evidence, the competent authorities of the Republic of Cyprus are ready at any time to study and evaluate them and we will be here to talk again”.

Asked if there is information about a new list or the addition of other persons, Mr. Christodoulidis said: “What I can tell you is that there will be other entries, without talking about citizens of the Republic of Cyprus, in general, without excluding that there may be and entities or legal or natural persons located within the Republic of Cyprus. What we are interested in is that any information be given to us as soon as possible and I repeat that we will do everything possible. We will not allow the name that exists for our country to be negatively altered.”
