Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says Ankara has received intelligence reports that indicated Cyprus had become a military base for operations in Gaza.
“We constantly see in intelligence that the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus is a base for certain countries in operations targeting Gaza,” he said during an interview broadcast by Haberturk.
“When we brought this to the agenda, our European counterparts suddenly declared it a logistics base.”
Fidan added that using the island for military operations nearby would benefit neither Greece nor the Greek administration in the divided island, and said that calling it a “logistics hub” was an attempt to veil military operations, according to Middle East Eye.
“The regional actors need to see this. There is serious militarization there,” he said. “It needs to be prevented.”
