NICOSIA, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Cyprus considers that the issue of Russian warnings about alleged plans to militarize the eastern Mediterranean island is over, government spokesman Prodromos Prodromou said on Saturday.
"We consider the matter closed," Prodromou told the state radio.
A spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that information was coming from several sources that the Untied States was making moves to establish military bases on Cyprus.
Prodromou said discussions should end after Cyprus gave replies to the Russian Federation.
He did not say when and to whom the replies were given, but Foreign Minister Nicos Christodoulides said he had spoken with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the issue.
Cyprus News Agency (CNA) reported on Friday that a delegation led by Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko will arrive in Cyprus on Dec. 14 for "political consultations". Enditem
