We as the Ministry of National Defense make our assessments of our defense and security and update all our plans in the light of new assessments. We can comfortably say that we are one of the most prepared countries.

The Turkish armed forces are already a powerful army. It is an army that constantly performs activities in many geographical areas.

Nobody, especially our country, would like a dark picture, like a third world war, but it should be noted that our army is ready for any scenario.”

ERAI GUETSLUER- MILITARY ANALYST: But we have the Tayfun surface-to-surface missile. It has a range of 1000 kilometers.

ERAI GUETSLUER: Look it’s our weapon system, I can install it here or here and count the 1000 kilometers. Let me show you another point. If we install it here in Karabourun, then it will not only reach Greece, it will go beyond it and even reach Italy. It actually reaches as far as Libya. So it means we have such a long arm. Next year, the Gezgin missile will be ready for mass production, which will also be launched from submarines.

ERAI GUETSLUER: If we are to go to war, then we will do so in support of our national interests.

JOURNALIST: Well of course, if let’s say South Cyprus (Republic of Cyprus) attacks the ‘TRDB’ then what will we do, that is, will we stay with our hands tied?

Hurriyet: War may spread to Cyprus, Greece, Iran and Syria

Nilgyun Guillaume – HURRIYET WRITER: Hezbollah has threatened Israel by releasing drone footage of the depths of Haifa’s northern port, saying “we know your country like our breath.” In addition, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s declaration of the Greek Cypriot administration of Southern Cyprus (Republic of Cyprus), which has become an important hub for Western military and humanitarian aid to Israel, as a “legitimate target” widened the scope of the crisis. . It is known that Britain’s two bases in Cyprus, one naval and the other air, are used extensively in US and UK military operations in the region.

If Israel were to attack Hezbollah, the possibility of a more devastating humanitarian crisis than the one in Gaza and the possibility of a regional war that could involve Lebanon, Iran, and Syria are worrisome.

There is concern that if the war turns into a threat to Cyprus and the TRNC, the world may face a much worse scenario. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, who recently said “There is a risk of World War 3”, said Greece had been warned not to get involved in wars in the Middle East and added: “When you take sides, that fire comes and finds you too. “We are already in the same geography, he will come to find us” he declared.
