Cypriots protest against island’s growing role as foreign military base

On Sunday, over 500 people gathered in Larnaca for a protest organized by the Pancyprian Peace Council (PPC), alongside other local groups and organizations. The protest was aimed at opposing the growing militarization of Cyprus, specifically the island’s increasing ties with foreign military powers, such as the United States and NATO. The demonstration, which featured slogans like “Cyprus is not a protectorate” and “Cyprus a bridge of peace,” focused on rejecting Cyprus’ transformation into a military base and promoting the idea that Cyprus should remain neutral and independent from foreign military influence.
