AFP. 15 March 2003. Hundreds of Greek Cypriots stage anti-war protest at US embassy. NICOSIA -- Hundreds of Greek Cypriot protestors staged the island's largest anti-war rally so far, gathering outside the US embassy Saturday demanding "no more Iraqi blood for oil." Around 2,000 people of all ages marched on the embassy and gathered outside the fortress-like building shouting anti-American slogans and calling US President George W. Bush a "murderer." A large police cordon shepherded the protestors into an open space across the road from the concrete barrier that guards the embassy compound. Banging drums and blowing whistles, the noisy crowd waved Cypriot and Iraqi flags and banners reading: "Don't attack Iraq," "How many lives per litre" and "No blood for profit." The protestors were drawn mainly from the communist Akel party -- the largest in the island's governing coalition -- as well as the Green Party, trade unions and student groups. They opposed Cyprus "directly or indirectly" facilitating any US-led war. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
