Concerns Raised Over Proposal to Reassess Sanctions Against Russia
October 16, 2026
Nikos Tornaritis expressed concerns about Averof Neofytou's proposal to re-examine energy sanctions against Russia. He emphasized the need for clear explanations regarding the implications of this proposal for the European direction and credibility of the Republic of Cyprus. Tornaritis questions whether these suggestions reflect only Averof's views or also those of the Democratic Party. Cyprus's foreign policy cannot afford contradictions, especially given its historical challenges. Sanctions against Russia are crucial for European security and solidarity.
