Turkey warned on Thursday that Cyprus’s ongoing efforts to bolster its air defense with systems from Israel could have “dangerous consequences” and are being “closely monitored.”
“We would like to once again remind that ongoing armament efforts and activities that may undermine peace and stability on the island could have dangerous consequences,” Defense Ministry sources were quoted by Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency as saying on Thursday.
“Every attempt aimed at disturbing the balance on the island is being closely monitored, and all necessary measures are being taken for the security and peace of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus,” the ministry said, referring to the occupied north of the island, which is recognized only by Turkey.
