Cyprus Rejects Turkish Criticism of Defence Cooperation
WHY IT MATTERS
Cyprus' defence cooperation is a key aspect of its relations with friendly countries, aimed at promoting security and stability in the region.
What happened
Cyprus' defence cooperation with other countries is conducted between sovereign states with friendly relations and is in line with international law, according to defence ministry sources.
This response came after Turkey criticised Cyprus' military partnerships and armament programme, saying it could negatively affect the island's security environment.
Cyprus has signed a joint statement with Greece and Egypt to develop military cooperation and enhance security in the eastern Mediterranean region.
