Cyprus Foreign Ministry: Ceasefire in Syria Must Be Upheld

The Cypriot Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed its concern over developments in northeastern Syria and called on all parties involved to fully implement the ceasefire and agreement reached between the government authorities and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Cyprus emphasizes that the implementation of the agreement is crucial for peaceful integration, ensuring Syria's unity, and protecting the rights of the Kurdish population. The capital reiterates its support for Syria's stability, considering it a key pillar of regional security. This statement comes at a time of increased tension in the region, with reports of clashes and attacks, such as the recent drone attack on the city of Hasaka. The Cypriot government is closely monitoring the situation and seeks to contribute to de-escalation and the promotion of a sustainable solution for Syria. The emphasis on protecting the rights of the Kurdish population underscores Cyprus's commitment to promoting multiculturalism and inclusion in the region.
