Cypriot bank workers stage a march in Nicosia

Thousands of Cypriot bank workers fearing for their jobs, staged a march Saturday in Nicosia against any measures that would threaten their jobs and rights. Protestors marched from the headquarters of the Cyprus Union of Bank Employees (ETYK) in Nicosia, to the Presidential Palace and the Parliament where a delegation handed over a petition with their demands and positions. Later on they marched to the Ministry of Finance, where negotiations were taking place between Cypriot officials and the Troika team with a view to reach an agreement for a Cyprus bailout. (CNA)
