USA and Greek Cypriot Administration Sign Military Cooperation Agreement Amid Regional Tensions
DEFENSE
The USA has signed a military cooperation agreement with the Greek Cypriot Administration, which ends its military training support for PKK-affiliated groups in Syria. The new program provides comprehensive training for the Greek National Guard, including counter-terrorism, urban operation techniques, and crisis management, with exercises held in both Cyprus and the USA.
Additionally, the USA offers cyber defense training to Greek forces. This military rapprochement is seen as a strategic shift influencing power dynamics in the Eastern Mediterranean, raising concerns about renewed tensions with Turkey.
