A reception was held in Nicosia to introduce the "Greeny on the Tour" to the public.

Greeny is a pet project of Oya Talat, wife of the Turkish Cypriot leader, who hopes that it will help raise awareness on climate change.

The Greeny on the Tour project is supported by thousands of people from around the world from locations such as the United States, Germany, Brazil, the UK, Japan and Turkey.

Greenies, the brainchild of German artist Yutta Saftien, are artificial plants that aim to raise awareness about the effects of global warming on the environment.
