Forget about defending Cyprus. I doubt France can defend herself from Turkey?

France is stronger than Turkey in air force and has more training. No air force no nothing.

Turkey's s-400 will shoot down French Rafales like flies in the sky.

Pakistan should get into a military agreement with Turkey.

France and Turkey are both NATO members. We won't see them fighting. French just want to extend their military reach like the British with their base in Cyprus.

Defend against what though? It's the greeks and their allies who threaten the sovereignty of TRNC, not the other way around.

Cyprus is seeking alliances with bigger countries against Turkey's aggressiveness in the eastern mediterranean and them challenging Cyprus' sovereignty. (Its EEZ notably)

France is seeking a permanent presence in eastern mediterranean,to counter Turkey's influence in the global mediterranean and to safeguard its economic interests. (gas)

Come on,not even Pakistan recognizes the so called "TRNC". A part Turkey nobody does.

Aggressiveness, funny people.

1. Try to ethnically cleanse a people.
2. Do nothing about it.
3. They do something about it.
4. Whine.
5. Whine more, and claim their territory as yours.
6. Claim they're the aggressors!

Who recognizes and who doesn't, it does not matter. Matter of fact is that the self declared, and independent, TRNC has perfectly rational reasons, and the only ones being aggressive are the people who claim territory belonging to the Turkish Cypriots as their own.


As another member said, this is just France wanting to flex its arm and extend its influence for mostly economical, and lessly strategic reasons.

 

[Oublious]

In a case of war what can France do? Look to the map againg, this will end bad for France if that will go that way.

France the agressor Go and clean you crime in Africa first...

Pakistan & Bangladesh both recognized TRNC but was withdraw due to U.S., pressure -- but we both know what the position officially would be.

 

[Unite & Defend]

In that case; Pakistan should reciprocate and together with Turkey they would annihilate France/Cyprus in quick time. That's not even an exaggeration.

France is another India. The way it talks. The way it behaves. Fervent haters of Islam and Muslims. Always ready to join a US crusade against a Muslim country. Always poking its big French nose.
