The Cypriot citizen who is included in the crew of one of the two Greek-flagged tankers seized by Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ forces in the Gulf is in good health, the Cyprus Ministry of Foreign Affairs told CNA on Sunday and efforts to end the hostage-taking continue.
Demetris Demetriou, Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told CNA that “efforts and representations continue with the aim to end the hostage-taking”.
Asked if there are any developments over the ministry’s representations, Demetriou said representations are made in all directions, from our ambassador (in Iran) and from the Ministry in Nicosia to the Embassy of Iran but there is nothing more that can be said.
He added that the Cypriot seafarer is in good health and that his family is in continued communication with him. Demetriou added that he contacted the family on Saturday evening where he updated them on the ministry’s actions and the family conveyed that the Cypriot is in good health.
