Turkey invaded part of Cyprus in 1974 and claimed it as an independent territory for the Turkish ethnic population, going on to rename areas of the island and destroy historical sites.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's recent threat to invade Israel should not be taken lightly and betrays Ankara’s continued regional ambitions, according to an official from Cyprus. 'Any threat being made publicly has to be taken very, very seriously here and we think that the international community cannot ignore or disregard the threats,' Konstantinos Letymbiotis, the official government spokesperson for Cyprus, told Fox News Digital.
Seeing how Ankara behaves with the issue of Swedish membership in the North Atlantic alliance, think what would happen in the case of Cyprus if we applied for membership, an issue that Turkey won't even discuss,' he said. The Turkish embassy did not respond to several Fox News Digital inquiries about the Cyprus spokesman’s comments by the time of publication. Fox News Digital’s Caitlin McFall and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
