Defence Ministry implementing programs for intelligence information gathering, says Minister

Ministry of Defence is implementing programs to significantly upgrade capabilities in intelligence information gathering and to address specific threats, Defense Minister Charalambos Petrides said Monday.

Speaking at a sword ceremony at the National Guard, the Minister said that Turkey is intensifying its provocations and is methodically creating new impasses while violating the international law and the UN Security Council resolutions. He said that Turkey`s claims for a two-state solution and its actions in the fenced off town of Varosha are unacceptable.
