Jennifer Lopez Out of Controversial N. Cyprus Concert
50 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

Jennifer Lopez has officially "withdrawn" from a concert in a European territory
currently under military occupation -- claiming she never would have agreed to
perform had she known the "relevant circumstances" surrounding the intense
political situation.

Lopez was scheduled to perform in Turkish-occupied Northern Cyprus ... an area
that neither the United Nations nor the European Union recognize as an
independent sovereign state ... because of the way it was illegally occupied by
the Turkish military in 1974.

In fact, multiple Greek and Cypriot politicians expressed anger after reports
surfaced claiming Lopez had agreed to perform at a swanky hotel in Northern
Cyprus on July 24.

But a rep for Lopez tells TMZ, "Jennifer Lopez would never knowingly support any
state, country, institution or regime that was associated with any form of human
rights abuse."

The rep added, "After a full review of the relevant circumstances in Cyprus, it
was the decision of management to withdraw from the appearance. This was a team
decision that reflects our sensitivity to the political realities of the
region."
