Greek Forces Remain in Cyprus - 'Kimon' and 'Psara' Replacement

Greek forces stationed in Cyprus due to the situation in the Middle East will remain in the region for as long as necessary. Athens has already replaced the F-16 fighter jets that had been sent from Souda with others from Araxos and Larissa. Furthermore, the frigates 'Kimon' and 'Psara' are expected to be replaced by other Greek warships within the next week. The Minister of National Defense, Nikos Dendias, has assured that Greece will maintain its forces in Cyprus, demonstrating its firm commitment to the security of the region. This move is a response to increased geopolitical tensions and the need to ensure stability in the Eastern Mediterranean.
