Turkish Foreign Ministry condemns US Arms Sale plan

Turkish Foreign Ministry condemns US Arms Sale plan.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye issued a written statement regarding the US decision to sell arms to the Greek Cypriot Administration. The statement included the following:

1. “We condemn the decision announced on 15 January by the USA, designating the Greek Cypriot Administration as an eligible country for arms sales and military training.
2. We share the views expressed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) statement on this issue.
3. We consider this decision, which will increase armament activities on the Island, a grave mistake. Given that our region is going through an extremely critical period, all relevant parties should refrain from provocative steps and act with common sense.
4. We expect the incoming U.S. administration, which will take office shortly, to reverse this misguided step taken by the outgoing President.
5. As a Motherland and Guarantor State, Türkiye will continue to support the TRNC’s efforts to enhance its defense and deterrence capabilities.”
