Reading the Map from the Right Side

Following the deployment of Greek frigates and aircraft to Cyprus, the need for a comprehensive revision of plans and a permanent presence of Greek forces on the island is highlighted, given the continued Turkish occupation of part of Cyprus. This move strengthens Cyprus's deterrent capability and provides geopolitical power to Greece. The importance of continuous presence and the existence of a plan to protect vital areas and highlight the role of the two states in the region is emphasized. Greece is called upon to address Cyprus and geography differently, overcoming the old mentality of avoiding reactions from Turkey.
