The Turkish armed forces have brought peace to Cyprus, said Turkey’s Defense Minister, who added that Cyprus for Turkey is not a problem, but a national issue.

Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Guler’s reaction to the military aid received by the Republic of Cyprus, according to what Manolis Kostidis broadcasts from Istanbul.

Yasar Guler: “The misinterpretation of the presence of the Turkish Armed Forces in Cyprus, as well as the provocative rhetoric on this issue, will not bring any benefit to the Greek Cypriots. If there has been no blood and tears on the island for half a century, it is due to the presence of the peacekeeping forces of Turkey. Let us not forget that the strategic position of Cyprus is of critical importance for peace and security in the Mediterranean. So the presence of the Turkish Armed Forces in Cyprus in cooperation with the headquarters of the forces of Cyprus is of great importance for the security of the region. For us, Cyprus is not a problem, it is a national issue. […] The provocative steps taken by the Greek Cypriot side, and the military aid it receives from third countries, only serves the non-solution of the issue”.
