September 16, 2024
Justice Minister Marios Hartziotis described the incidents at the stadium as premeditated and planned to endanger lives and property. He expressed his frustration with the KOP's reluctance to extend the ban on fan movement despite warnings. Hartziotis called for severe penalties for the involved teams and highlighted the risks had the match proceeded. The decision to cancel the match was ultimately made by the stadium's security officer and the referee.
