President Highlights Aid from Greece and Other Nations for Cyprus

The President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides, stated that the immediate response of the Greek Government to the crisis in the Middle East prompted aid from other European Union countries, creating a sense of solidarity towards Cyprus. The government has already taken steps to strengthen the defense capabilities of Cyprus, with the dispatch of fighter jets and frigates from Greece. The President emphasized the importance of the institutionalized intergovernmental cooperation between Cyprus and Greece, as well as the trilateral and multilateral schemes. He expressed hope that the crisis will end soon, but the government has also developed alternative scenarios to address potential escalation. Finally, he reiterated that Cyprus plays a purely humanitarian role in the region and is part of the solution, not the problem.
