In a written statement issued on Wednesday afternoon, the director of the Press Office of the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Viktoras Papadopoulos, refers to the video that was broadcast, in which Nikos Anastasiadis appears to ask journalists not to I asked them about the Al Jazeera report.
The relevant statement generally emphasizes that:
“Because the video saw the light of day, which unfortunately leaves false impressions about the respect that the President of the Republic has for journalists and the media, we would like to clarify the following:
The President of the Republic arrived at a place of the event and, after being approached by television crews, unofficially asked them not to ask him about the Al Jazeera video, and the reason was because he did not have the opportunity until then look at it.
Therefore, before the journalists’ questions began, the President stated that he would not answer the specific question if asked, since he did not have his own opinion on the video, expressing this with the specific expression that he used as a joke.
The President of the Republic respects and honors journalists, the media, as well as their role ”.
