Erhurman Claims Cyprus-Greece-Israel Cooperation is an "Anti-Turkey Axis"

Tufan Erhurman claims that the cooperation between the Republic of Cyprus, Greece and Israel in the fields of defense and energy has turned into an "anti-Turkey axis". Commenting on the message of the President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides, for the new year, Mr. Erhurman argues that these moves create a climate of confrontation with Turkey, despite the President's priority to resolve the Cyprus issue. He suggests that energy cooperation between Cyprus, Turkey and Greece could be an incentive for resolving the problem. He emphasizes that a solution requires cooperation and not antagonism, as well as the recognition of Turkish Cypriots as equal partners. He calls on those who desire a solution to contribute to the creation of a suitable climate with actions and not just words.
