Cyprus is Safe, Says Defense Minister

Defense Minister Vasilis Palmas stated that Cyprus is safe, as it has not received any threats since the beginning of the crisis in the region. The threats that were evaluated concerned exclusively the British Bases in Akrotiri. The Minister stressed the importance of accurate information and avoiding the creation of false impressions. The National Guard is in full readiness and cooperates with countries offering support to Cyprus, such as Greece and France. In addition to protecting citizens, the government is focused on protecting the country's critical infrastructure to ensure the continued functioning of the state in the event of a crisis. The presence of foreign forces in Cyprus demonstrates the country's credibility and strong alliances.
