The Republic of Cyprus is prepared to assist in potential evacuations from the Middle East, Deputy Government Spokesperson Yiannis Antoniou said.
Speaking on Friday, Antoniou confirmed that Cypriot authorities are ready to aid in the repatriation of European and third-country nationals under the ‘Estia’ plan, should evacuation become necessary.
While no formal requests have been received from other states, Antoniou revealed that the Cypriot government is in communication with foreign diplomatic missions regarding possible evacuations.
