Cyprus started collecting signatures in support of the initiative on the possible creation of a military base of the Russian Federation

A letter was sent to Cyprus President Nikos Anastasiadis on behalf of the Cyprus Orthodox Human Rights Center. In the letter, the head of the organization, Marius Fotiu, and other members of the organization ask the president of the country to consider the possibility of placing a Russian military base on the island, which will allow them to resist possible inclinations from terrorist groups. Newspaper "News" reports that this document is available to the editors.

Cyprus started collecting signatures in support of the initiative on the possible creation of a military base of the Russian Federation


The motivation of representatives of the Cyprus Orthodox Human Rights Center is as follows: Cyprus from among all EU countries is closest to Syria, and there is a serious threat that extremists will choose Cyprus to carry out terrorist acts. The message says that the activists of the Orthodox center support the counter-terrorist operation carried out by Russia in Syria, and would like to have a strong and skillful comrade of the Cyprus army, as stated in the letter addressed to the country's president, “covered protective umbrella. "

It is reported that the Orthodox center of Cyprus began collecting signatures in support of its initiative.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has not yet commented on the possibility of locating a military base in Cyprus.

          such offers do not come up so easily. Perhaps this is an attempt to influence Turkey from Russia, for example, a response to the convening by the Turks of the Security Council for the bombing of the Russian Air Force, the village of Turkoman.
          It is unlikely that in reality someone will allow us to provide territory for the Russian Federation under the base. Pressure from Western countries will be colossal. And Cyprus depends heavily on Europe.
          But in any case, even the theoretical possibility of creating a base in Cyprus will spoil the nerves of the Turks seriously.

              It seems that Orthodox Cyprus thoroughly weighed the scales, on the one hand, its dependence on the West and Turkey, and on the other hand, a real threat to its physical destruction from the penetration of Islamic refugee Islamists in its territory. And he chose Russia.
              Orthodox Cyprus, it seems, is not up to fat, but only to stay alive. They no longer hope for NATO.

        13% of the country's territory is an English base (not a penny pays) northern Cyprus - 40 tons of Turkish soldiers + a base - they pay nothing the same.
        so now they’re looking for someone to rip off a woman like that, so that they can continue to drink Ouzo.

          Cypriots want grandmas. gratuitous and more, they are not at all interested in who will sit on their deputy.
          So the question is only in money, or rather in their quantity.
          As you know, who pays the money, he and the girl are dancing (I think few people believe that the Cypriots were inflamed with a fatherly love for Russia ... for no reason
          and if the question is in grandmas - then who will give more.
          Europe just needs to blink and there will be no trace of the economies of Cyprus.
          Russia will not be able to cover such losses with its base in life and no base will cost this money --- a conclusion?

    Hello!
    I have repeatedly visited Northern Cyprus (the one that is Turkish) and, without claiming to be reliable, I will say the following information:
    Cypriots say that an agreement on the deployment of a base of the USSR Navy was signed even before the division of the island! At the same time, by formal indications, such an agreement is still valid! Accordingly, on formal grounds, nothing needs to be re-signed, and Russia can legally place its base in Cyprus.

    You can add the following, the Cypriots are very much for placing on the island of the Russian military base! At the same time, the British, who have long had a serious military presence on the island, do not like and long for their departure!
    And yet, the Cypriots are sure that today the only obstacle to the reunification of the island is the Anglo-Saxons!

    The base (in Cyprus) will depend entirely on deliveries from the Big Earth (from Russia). The Turks will block the Straits Straight, and the Bulgarians and Romanians Airspace and how you deliver reinforcements and ammunition to this Base. That is, to Block Such a Base (in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and NATO countries) - the Americas and their Satellites in Europe - It will not be difficult. Even in order to deliver our Missiles to Vietnam (during the Vietnam War), we had to negotiate with China (on the admission of our Complexes). And here, how we will help the Base in Cyprus, if around and everywhere (around Cyprus) NATO. The base needs to be organized Where there is a Common Border (or Unhindered communication (with one or another territory) by sea or land) - for example, in the DPRK (near Pyongyang) or in Vietnam (Kamran) or on the West Coast of India (somewhere under Surat (Gujarat) Yes, it is clear that the Cypriots (Greeks) would be VERY glad to have such a Russian Base near Bok - but no one has yet canceled the Geography (the location of this or that object on the map of the World).

    Some kind of obscure organization began collecting signatures. How the collection will end is not yet clear, even if the signatures are collected, what this will mean and how it will affect politics is not clear. The Defense Ministry is silent, because there is nothing to discuss, but our local strategists have already calculated and planned everything.)
    In principle, in a country not so successful as ours, under the direction of ingenious demigods, but in a simple and normal country, under the direction of miserable, insignificant politicians, a similar issue would be resolved through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Just the Foreign Minister would send a request - how the Cyprus government will react to the possibility of creating a base and what they want for it. At the same time, we would be reminded of help in difficult times and hinted at ... But our demigods do not want to be like everyone else, only cunning plans, only hardcore.
