In the statement made on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “We condemn the decision published yesterday by the USA, which designated the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus as a suitable country for arms sales and military training. “We share the views recorded in the statement made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) on this issue.”
In the statement, it was emphasized that the decision that would increase armament activities on the Island was considered a mistake, and said: “We consider this decision, which will increase armament activities on the Island, as a grave mistake. “Considering that our region is going through an extremely sensitive period, all relevant parties should avoid provocative steps and act with common sense.”
In the statement, it was stated that they expect the new administration to take office in the USA to reverse the decision made, and said, “We expect the new administration of the USA, which will take office shortly, to reverse this wrong step taken by the current President. “As the Motherland and Guarantor State Türkiye, we will continue to support the steps taken by the TRNC to increase its defense and deterrence capabilities.”
