Lack of Official Explanations for Turkish F-16s in Occupied Areas

March 10, 2026

The Cyprus Republic has not received official explanations regarding the arrival of Turkish F-16s in the occupied areas. The Deputy Government Spokesman pointed out that the situation requires attention, as Turkey does not hold a guarantor status. Cyprus aims to ensure the safety of its citizens and seeks assistance from EU countries. He noted that the presence of Turkish forces should not be compared with aid missions from European countries. The focus is on reducing tension and maintaining normalcy in daily life.
