'Russian citizens suggest forming their own National Guard unit'

'Russian-speaking citizens of the Republic are volunteering to serve in the National Guard as reservists and have proposed creating a separate unit, according to a letter sent to the defence minister by the I the Citizen (EOP) party.

The party said it was saddened to hear that over half the reservists failed to report for duty for various reasons, an “unacceptable state of affairs for a country that is semi occupied and in a ceasefire since 1974.”

It said Russian-speaking citizens have been accused of not doing military service and not caring to protect the country of which they are citizens.

“We also know of citizens with Cypriot citizenship who applied to the defence ministry to join the reservists, but their request was not accepted because the existing legislation does not provide for such a thing,” EOP said.

The party said it had canvassed Russian-speaking citizens and most said they were ready to volunteer and fight for the country if necessary.

“A lot are willing to participate voluntarily in the National Guard’s reserve units and train,” it said.'

Don't laugh.
As small as it is.
The seed was planted INTENTIONALLY.

They are just exploiting a loophole to avoid it.

Then they come up with this to make it appear its not their fault and it is the defence Department for not listening to their sincere recommendation to serve in the reserve and in Russian Speaking units.

Dn't trust them...They don't give a fuck about Cyprus and the last thing they want to do is potentially serve in a war with Turkey.

...the question becomes, who is a Cypriot, if Cypriots cannot serve? Given that the Armed Forces are under reform this is a timely question.

These people do not care about any country, not even Russia.
