Regardless of Turkish warning, Cyprus to attend Paris-organised convention on Libya

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades will attend a world convention on Libya in Paris subsequent week regardless of Turkey’s warning that if Nicosia was invited Ankara would snub it.

Particularly, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan informed journalists on his return from the G20 in Rome on Sunday that if Cyprus, Greece and Israel had been invited Ankara wouldn’t attend.

And that he had knowledgeable French counterpart Emmanuel Macron that this was a “situation” for Ankara.

Nicosia has each cause to be happy with the invitation it obtained from France – the convention organisers – since it’s an undisputed reward for the international coverage pursued lately, Philenews stories.

However, plainly this growth and the truth that France has chosen to ask Cyprus, Greece and Israel to this convention, are actions which have vastly aggravated Turkey.

That’s the reason related reactions from the Turkish facet are anticipated within the subsequent 24 hours. Whether or not Erdogan will ultimately perform his risk and be absent or whether or not he’ll ultimately make different selections – similar to ship representatives – stays to be seen.

Cyprus Overseas Minister Nikos Christodoulides can be accompanying the President on the convention.
