Kerineia Municipality: UK Bases Bring War Consequences to Cyprus

The Municipality of Kerineia has expressed concern about the indirect consequences of the war on Cyprus, due to the presence of British Bases, pointing out that Cyprus, although not directly involved, is affected by international events. At the same time, the importance of Greece's presence with its modern military assets was emphasised, promoting the strengthening of the Unified Defense Area Doctrine, which is considered more important than ever. The Municipality of Kerineia also referred to the nightmarish memories awakened by developments in the Middle East, recalling the terror and tragic consequences of war for the civilian population, based on the experience of Kerinians as refugees. The statement highlights the need for preparedness and strengthening of defense in the face of potential escalations.
