Erhurman on KD Agreements - "Abandon its adventurous stance"

T/C leader Tufan Erhurman stated that there is full coordination with Turkey in the face of developments in the region, following the attacks by Iran and Israel. He argued that all necessary measures have been taken to ensure the security of the pseudo-state and described the area as one of the safest. At the same time, he criticized the Republic of Cyprus for its attempt to create military alliances and agreements, such as the Andreas Papandreou base in Paphos, arguing that these choices may create risks for Turkish Cypriots. He expressed his support for the deployment of Turkish F-16s in the pseudo-state, rejecting criticism from the Greek Cypriot side. He emphasized the importance of peace and diplomacy, mentioning the contacts of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
