Turkish Foreign Ministry condemns US-Cyprus defense agreements

Turkish Foreign Ministry condemns US-Cyprus defense agreements
12.09.2024 10:00
The Turkish Foreign Ministry has condemned the signing of a roadmap in the field of defense cooperation between the US and the authorities of the Republic of Cyprus.

"We condemn the signing of a roadmap for enhancing the bilateral defense cooperation between the United States of America (USA) and the Greek Cypriot Administration. 

We agree with the views expressed in the statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) on this issue and we fully support the justified reaction of the TRNC authorities," reads the statement.

"These steps taken by the USA authorities to the detriment of the security of the Turkish Cypriot side, including the announcement last June of the launch of a strategic dialogue with the Greek Cypriot Administration, undermine the neutral USA position towards the island of Cyprus and make it more difficult to reach a just, lasting and sustainable settlement of the Cyprus issue. 

Within this framework, we believe that policies that could undermine regional stability should be reconsidered. 

Türkiye, as a Motherland and Guarantor state, will continue to ensure the security and prosperity of the Turkish Cypriots under all circumstances," the Turkish ministry added.

Nicosia and Washington signed a roadmap for defense cooperation on September 10. The document was signed by Minister of Defense of the Republic of Cyprus, Vasilis Palmas, and US Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, Celeste Wallander.
