11/06/2023
An announcement regarding the “Anatolian Phoenix – 2023” military exercise was issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus.
As has become known, Spain and Poland withdrew from the exercise they were going to participate in after the disclosure of the involvement of the pseudo-state, which, as stated in the announcement, they had not been aware of.
As the Cypriot Ministry of Foreign Affairs points out:
“With reference to the military exercise ‘Anatolian Phoenix – 2023’, which is being held in Iconium in Turkey, it is pointed out that this is an exercise hosted by Turkey, with all that entails, which systematically and unilaterally tries to include the illegal separatist entity in the occupied territories in this kind of activities.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in coordination with the Diplomatic Office of the President of the Republic and the Ministry of Defence, took the necessary steps at all levels.
Participating states were found not to have prior knowledge of the involvement of the illegal separatist entity. As a result of the aforementioned actions, Spain and Poland have informed the Republic of Cyprus that they are withdrawing from the exercise immediately.”
