The upgrade of Cyprus’ National Guard is needed now more than ever due to the continued illegal presence of the Turkish occupation army on the island, said House President Annita Demetriou on Friday.
She was addressing an oath taking ceremony of women Contract Soldiers in Limassol.
Demetriou said the illegal presence of the Turkish occupation army on the island for more than 47 years now as well as the continued escalating and unacceptable Turkish demands and provocations in Cyprus’ EEZ and the arbitrary overturn of the status quo in Famagusta make imperative now, more than ever, the need to further upgrade the defence capability and readiness of the National Guard.
