The authorities of the Republic of Cyprus are ready in case there is a need to remove Europeans or nationals of third countries from the region, Deputy Government Spokesman Yannis Antoniou said on Friday at KYPE.
Asked about this by the KYPE, Mr. Antoniou said that the authorities of the Republic of Cyprus are ready for the repatriation of Europeans and nationals of third countries in case there is a need to evacuate the area, within the framework of the Home Plan.
When asked if there were similar requests from other states, Mr. Antoniou said that there were no requests but that the Republic of Cyprus is in communication with foreign diplomatic missions in the event that evacuations need to be carried out.
"Historically we have very good relations with all our neighbors, so we are trying to take advantage of this special role that we have and we want Cyprus to be a pillar of security and stability and to act as a bridge of cooperation and peace," said Mr. Antoniou.
