"We will provide the necessary [army] reinforcements to the tdvk," said Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, referring to the pseudo-state, while saying that "since Greece is arming the islands, we will take the necessary steps."
In a press interview in Denizli, Turkey, the Turkish Foreign Minister said that "while Greece is arming the islands contrary to international law, we will not stand idly by, and we will take the necessary steps."
"On the other hand, you know that the USA has left its neutral position and is taking steps in favor of Greece. In the past they followed a balanced policy. In addition, they have lifted their arms embargo on southern Cyprus. Therefore we, as a guarantor country, will provide the necessary support to the Turkish Republic. In order to ensure our own interests and our security both in the Aegean and in Cyprus, but also to protect the rights of the Turkish Republic, we will take the necessary steps with determination ", he said.
