NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- Cyprus has condemned plans by a group from the U.S.-based Biblical Archaeology Society to travel to the ethnically split island through its breakaway north.
Cyprus' Foreign Ministry said in a statement on its website Wednesday that the group's planned arrival on June 11 through Turkish-dominated north would breach Cypriot and international law and be "inconsistent with scholarly ethics." It appealed to the group to amend its itinerary.
