Nato membership for Cyprus would ensure its safety

It would be good for Cyprus to improve its defensive capabilities, mainly because the guarantor powers have failed miserably in their obligations the defend the RoC and its citizens according to the 1960 treaty.

If the US is serious about the East Med partnership it should push for the NATO membership of Cyprus which has been vetoed at least twice between 1960 and 1974.

This would be extremely helpful for the security of the RoC especially from the continuous threats from by Turkey.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
