OSCE PA to Include Special Reference to Cyprus in Statement on Iran

The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly will include a special reference to Cyprus in its statement on developments in Iran, following a request by MP Irene Charalambidou. The reference will emphasize the need for European states to take responsibility for the security of Cyprus, especially in cases where decisions are made that create risks in the Eastern Mediterranean. Ms. Charalambidou expressed her concern about Cyprus's exposure to risks stemming from the situation in Iran, as well as the lack of timely information from the British Bases authorities regarding potential attacks. Additionally, she highlighted the weakening role of the UN due to undermining by powerful states.
