The underwater city of Pavlopetri

The European Parliament adopted on Thursday an amendment to a resolution on the Cypriot coastal town of Varosha, calling on the European Council to impose sanctions on Turkey over the partial reopening of the town, which violates UN Security Council resolutions.

The Turkish Cypriot government has decided to reopen Varosha, once a leading tourism destination for Hollywood stars but which later turned into a ghost town following the split of the island, after a 45-year seclusion.

A laborer was killed on Monday after falling from the 5th floor of a construction site in the Toumba district of Thessaloniki.

Police were seeking to determine the exact causes of the man's fall and whether his supervisor or anyone else should be held responsible.

No details were released about the man's identity.
