Jennifer Lopez has cancelled a performance in North Cyprus after angry protests from thousands of displaced Greek Cypriots.
The US singer's gig at a luxury hotel had triggered fury among Greeks who accused her of according legitimacy to northern Cyprus, a breakaway state recognised only by Ankara.
"Jennifer Lopez would never knowingly support any state, country, institution or regime that was associated with any form of human rights abuse," a statement on Lopez's website said.

Shame on you Ms Lopez. The rights of the Turkish Cypriots to have international entertainers are of no concern to you then nor a Turkish fan base. Nor of course present fans you have now offended but I doubt that will bother you.
