Detailed Instructions: In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to identify an event from the passage. An event is defined as a single word representing something that happened, is happening, or may happen. An event can be factual or hypothetical, positive or negative, certain or uncertain. While most events are based on verbs, an event can also be based on a noun (ex. storm, snow, rainfall) or a copula verb (is, was, been, etc.). The event must not be a pronoun or an adjective. For noun events with multiple words, use the last word in the phrase as event.
Q: Passage: In a statement, Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis noted that Nicosia has been officially informed by Finland that no proximity consultations will take place on the Finnish initiative though it will continue its efforts. "We understand that this development (the cancellation of consultations) is due to the positions and the terms presented by the Turkish side, which with its whole stance has rendered the holding of proximity consultations unachievable," Pashiardis said.
