Cyprus does not intend to join NATO and values its neutrality - President Nicos Anastasiades
In addition, as explained by the head of the island state, it is also impossible due to the likely objections from neighboring Turkey.
"I think it is too early to discuss anything possible, there are serious problems, which even if there was desire in the Cypriot solution, would face procedural issues and of course the reflection of Turkey," stated Anastasiades.
According to his statement, in assessing the issue of Cyprus membership in the North Atlantic Alliance, the main aspect is the approval of the Cypriots themselves.
