The exercise "Nikiforos 2012" is canceled

The Government decided not to conduct the military exercise of the National Guard "NIKIFOROS 2012" to avoid further tension in the already heavy area.

A statement from the Ministry of Defense stressed that the decision was taken, although Turkey has so far not responded to the proposal, sent through the United Nations, for the mutual cancellation of the "NIKIFOROS" and "TAVROS" exercises.

The Republic of Cyprus, the announcement concludes, expects Turkey to respond to its proposal to cancel the "TAURUS" exercise.
