Cyprus Prioritizes Security, Plays Role as Stability Pillar in Region

President Christodoulides emphasized that Cyprus is not involved in military operations and that all actions of Nicosia are guided by the security of the country and its citizens. Cyprus plays a role as a “pillar of security and stability” in the region and has received exploratory contacts for its use as a transit station for the safe evacuation of foreign nationals. Greece offered immediate support to Cyprus, sending fighter jets and frigates, while other European countries have also expressed their support. The President also referred to the consequences of the Turkish invasion and occupation, as well as the importance of Cyprus's accession to the EU.
