Annita Demetriou: "We Would Have Expected Closer Support and Reaction from the EU" - Greece is Cyprus's Ally

The President of the House of Representatives, Annita Demetriou, expressed her disappointment with the limited support from the European Union to Cyprus, while at the same time emphasizing the importance of the alliance with Greece. Ms. Demetriou stated that Greece is standing by Cyprus, offering substantial political and diplomatic assistance, such as the dispatch of frigates and fighter jets. She stressed that Cyprus is not in a state of war, but is taking defensive shielding measures. The government's priority is the safety of citizens, the economy, and the repatriation of Cypriots from the Middle East. Ms. Demetriou called for a calm analysis of the situation and a common strategy with allies and the EU.
