The government of Cyprus is seeking to NATO to provide security guarantees and improve its political situation.

Kathimerini reported on this.

ing NATO is a strategic step for the country, which aims to strengthen its defense, but there are currently political obstacles to this that must be overcome in the future.


The discussion of Cyprus’s plan to NATO between President Nikos Christodulidis and US President Joe Biden was received positively.
The news was also welcomed by the U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, who called it a “victory for the people of Cyprus.”

Despite the wishes of the President of the Republic of Cyprus, he also addressed the United States with three political conditions, which, in his opinion, are very important in this matter.

First of all, one of the points is the purchase of defense equipment from the United States. To do this, the annual renewal of the arms embargo must be changed and the arms embargo must be lifted for at least three to five years.


The second condition to be fulfilled by the United States on the basis of the Cyprus Plan is further significant upgrades in the area of t training of the Cypriot National Guard at US military academies.

The third condition is a decisive contribution of the United States to the gradual modernization of Cyprus’ defense capabilities and military forces in accordance with the NATO standards, as well as the improvement of infrastructure and defense facilities.

In this context, it is possible that by the end of the year there will have been events related to the free provision of defense equipment to Cyprus, as well as the provision of materials through international sales programs.

The permanent US military presence in Cyprus will be the main task of Cyprus’ policy, although it is not a certain condition that will be discussed by politicians during the country’s accession to NATO.

Militarnyi previously reported that in March 2024, Sweden had officially become the new 32nd member of the North Atlantic Alliance.

Check out how the US influence is spreading like wildfire. While some haters on here keeps crying about the US all day, everyone else is trying to get in on the action. They feel safer with the Americans, and who can blame them, really.

Nobody wants to be friends with Kremlin trash, just few confused and tyrant countries who've got nothing going on aside propaganda and noise.

Thank you Putin for being NATO's best salesman! 😂

No one is safe being a slave in the name of getting protection.

You have to sign your freedom away to gain the protection that you want.

This is another means of colonization and folks like you are ignorant about it.

Stop crying about Cyprus decision to NATO. You're only crying because it's NATO, but if they were ing BRICS, you'd be keeping mum, wouldn't you?

And, if ing NATO is your definition of slavery, then what does that make you for using the English language? You're using the language of the very people you're accusing of enslaving others.
Just stick to sucking on Putin's propaganda trash! 😂

Seymour Hersh has got his own views, but that don't make them facts, correct? In the States, you're free to spit your opinions without getting silenced, unlike in Russia where criticizing Putin can get you killed.

Now, Hersh's claim's just a theory, no substance, no proof, just hot air. So, what's the evidence? How you gonna prove the US was behind the pipeline sabotage? I need something concrete, not just some guy's opinion.😂

Can you do that?

This is getting interesting. But wait, can't each country develop its military strength on its own without the involvement of the Useless States of America? I think the dependency on the Useless States of America by other countries need to be checked. I will never be a slave to survive, I'll rather die honourably.

Many of you Gen Z are very empty in the head and do not read.

So you do not know that Turkey invaded in 1974, kept the northern part to the themselves and have made recent veiled threats to push further south?

You do not know that as a result of this policy, nearly everybody in Southern Cyprus by law owns a firearm so they can be deployed instantly if there is a war with Turkey over this?
