Greek Cypriots get loud over Jennifer Lopez gig in northern Cyprus

Pressure continues to build on Jennifer Lopez to cancel her upcoming performance in Turkish Occupied Cyprus. A Facebook page opposing the singer's trip to the rogue nation has received more than 16,000 fans in a matter of days.

From Reuters:

Jennifer Lopez has entered a diplomatic minefield on ethnically split Cyprus after agreeing to perform in its Turkish-held north, stirring anger among thousands of Greek Cypriots.

Lopez is scheduled to perform at the opening of a luxury hotel in north Cyprus on July 24, triggering fury from Greek Cypriots who say it's a slap in the face to people forced to flee from northern Cyprus during a Turkish invasion in 1974.

Greek Cypriots have flooded a Facebook site with angry demands the Latina star cancel her trip while organizers of the event say the show will go on.

"We have a signed agreement with her and it is active," said Murat Bozoglu, a director of the $220 million Cratos Premium hotel in northern Cyprus.

Lopez's publicists were not immediately available for comment. Local newspapers reported she was being paid $3 million for her one-off performance.
