The Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL) has expressed strong criticism regarding the recent NATO Summit held in Ankara, characterizing it as tailored to suit Turkey's interests. AKEL's statement highlights concerns that the decisions and communications issued during the summit contribute to a militarization of international relations, elevate Turkey's role in regional politics, and create new conditions that could heighten potential conflicts, particularly concerning Cyprus.
In their announcement, AKEL specifically accused NATO of fostering a "generalized preparation for war" through significant military expenditures and increased armament, thereby bolstering American defense industries. The party also noted that the summit further escalates tensions related to the ongoing war in Ukraine. This criticism has sparked political disagreement, with AKEL alleging that the Cypriot government under President Christodoulides is complicit in failing to adequately address these issues, framing the NATO summit as a benefactor of Turkish occupation.
