The bellicose rhetoric of the Turkish government, as well as the Turkish opposition, constitute a direct threat to Cyprus and Greece, Presidential candidate George Kolokasidis said in a written statement, adding that "the only way out is the policy of deterrence and the formation of a nationwide front against the common threat expressed by Turkey".
He states that Turkey is threatening and pursuing an expansionist policy against two EU member states at no cost, except for verbal statements of condemnation from our partners.
"The policy of appeasement, served by Averof-Christodoulides-Mavroyiannis for the past nine years, has not worked. There is also doubt as to whether Cyprus' defence is at the maximum degree of readiness as it should be."
