They must be having nightmares in occupied Cyprus with Israeli commandos or the Mossad launching operations against them, because otherwise the "announcement" issued by the pseudo-foreign ministry of the pseudo-state, implicating the Republic of Cyprus in terrorist scenarios with both the PKK and Israel, cannot be explained.
The statement of the pseudo-state specifically states: "The Israeli government continues to make statements that are inconsistent with the facts in order to distract international attention from its inhumane attacks in Gaza and the West Bank and the massacre of Palestinian civilians. The latest example of this is the claim by the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Iran is using our country for its so-called terrorist activities. We categorically reject this unfounded and malicious allegation.
By hosting the PKK, which for years has continued its bloody actions against our brothers and sisters in our homeland Turkey. Moreover, while the support of terrorism by the Greek Cypriot administration in Southern Cyprus, which has been proven by international reports to have become a centre for money laundering, especially for Russian oligarchs, is obvious, the Israeli government's attempts to target our country are clearly malicious.
We would like to let the whole world know that we will not allow the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, a country of peace and security, to be drawn into dark and dirty games, and that we will continue to resolutely ensure the security of all who live in our country."
As Pentapostagma has already written, the police in Cyprus are keeping their cards close to their chest, citing "national security" in the case involving the prevention of an attack on Israelis in Cyprus and the two Iranians who have been in custody since November 3.
Speaking from Limassol and asked about the possible involvement of other persons, Greek Cypriots or foreigners in the case, Police spokesman Christos Andreou, wanting to reassure, and without giving further details, noted that "up to this moment there is nothing else about any person", as reported by cyprustimes.com
"Information is constantly being evaluated"
Speaking to State TV, Police Spokesman Christos Andreou explained that the Police and the Terrorism Department constantly receives and evaluates information coming from various sources, whether it is EUROPOL, INTERPOL or other agencies or authorities. "People should not panic, there was some information, we evaluated it and proceeded to arrest the two persons. There is nothing alarming at this stage," he noted.
Andreou noted that the two persons are being held under detention and deportation orders.
