US Ambassador to Cyprus, John Koenig, was forced to issue a clarifying statement on Monday, after a series of tweets on Sunday, about President Anastasiades’ recent Russia visit, sparked a hostile reaction from Anastasiades, the Archbishop, the political parties and journalists. As RedPillTimes reports,Koenig has been promptly “relieved of duty” after he posted on his Twitter account what was essentially a clever ploy to link Cyprus President Anastasiades (who recently visited Moscow)to the assassination of Boris Nemtsov. Anastasiades was furious, calling Koenig’s tweet “exceedibly undiplomatic,” adding that it “creates ‘icy’ bilateral relations.”
As RedPillTimes reports, in the Twitter conversation…
What do people in #Cyprus think about the week in Russia as seen from here? Anastasiades visit and statements, #Nemtsov assassination?

…Ambassador Koenig even goes as far as accusing the Cypriot President of hanging out with ‘bad company’… in reference to Russia’s democratically elected and wildly popular President Vladimir Putin.
