Cyprus may receive a Russian air base

Residents of Cyprus asked to the president of Russia to place on the island a military airbase.

The main reason why an appeal was sent to the President of the Russian Federation about the possibility of deploying a military air base on the territory of Cyprus is the threat from the Islamic State group. It is assumed that the presence of a military contingent on the territory of the island will prevent the spread of the terrorist threat, since, in essence, Cyprus is located only a few hundred kilometers from Syria, where the Islamic State group has concentrated its forces.

According to the opinions of experts has emerged, it is expected that the President of the Russian Federation will consider such a possibility, and is likely to grant the request if the current government will not be against such an initiative.
