Cyprus Olympic Committee Mourns George Vassiliou

The Cyprus Olympic Committee (COC) expressed its deep sorrow over the death of the former President of the Republic of Cyprus, George Vassiliou. The COC recognizes his crucial role and contribution to the development of sports in Cyprus, particularly during his presidency (1988-1993), when Cyprus successfully hosted the Games of the Small States of Europe in 1989. The COC will be represented at the funeral by its President, George A. Chrysostomou, and the flags at the Olympic House will fly at half-mast until the day of the funeral.
