This call underscores the increased uncertainty and potential risks associated with the current regional situation. The Foreign Minister's statement reflects the government's concern about the deteriorating situation in the region and the need for preventive measures and close cooperation with international partners. The emphasis on diplomatic efforts and coordination within the EU indicates Cyprus's attempt to play a constructive role in addressing the crisis.
