But let’s be clear. Cyprus is not at war.
Cyprus is not escalating anything.
And Cyprus must not be dragged into rhetoric that damages our economy or our stability.
Yes, we host international interests on the island. That does not mean we are a participant in conflict. Our responsibility is to protect our country, our people, and our future.
The biggest risk right now is not military, it is economic psychology. Tourism, investment, business confidence. If we overreact, we damage ourselves.
This moment requires maturity.
If handled wisely, Cyprus can position itself as a stable bridge in a turbulent region a hub for diplomacy, operations, and economic resilience.
We must project calm, not panic. Strategy, not emotion.
Cyprus stands for stability and peace.
