The national anthem is not played at international games of club level but only with national sides.
OK lets address it another way we have a national team with mixed players, should they be subjected to the Greek national anthem?
They have to stand to whatever the national anthem of the country they're representing is.
If its Greek, Chinese or Swahili is besides the point and they better sing the words as well. My personal opinion is that post solution the anthem needs to be changed for something unique to Cyprus.
Where is the compromise here? surely out of unity and a European ideology shouldnt something temporary be used not offend any of its population that is playing for Cyprus not Greece? This is where we go wrong just as I support none use of the Turkish national anthem so as not to ffend GC players for a new Cypriot Anthem shouldnt you be doing the same? It seems to be a one way street and as for a solution thats very unlikely seeing we can even agree to have our own national anthem.
Don't see what the issue is here. We're a country under occupation by your army and I see no reason in changing the country's national anthem in the event that some of your players would want and are good enough to play for the national side. Solve the problem, remove your troops and I'll stand to attention to Justin Bieber if you like. And btw this was never touched upon in the negotiations. Once again this agreement was made on a club level.
