Anti-War Protest in Nicosia Demands Removal of Bases and Withdrawal from Alliances

A large anti-war protest took place in Nicosia, with the central slogan “Out with the bases from Cyprus, out with Cyprus from the alliance of war”. Dozens of citizens, along with political and social organizations, participated in the mobilization that started from the Presidential Palace. Protesters condemn Cyprus's involvement in regional wars through the use of British Bases and cooperation with other countries, emphasizing that the military presence endangers the country and its citizens. They also argue that alliance with major powers does not provide real protection, but creates more threats. The demonstration was organized by various organizations promoting peace and demilitarization.
