Macron: Any attack on Cyprus is an attack on Europe

French President Emmanuel Macron stated on Monday that any attack on Cyprus, a member of the European Union, would be considered an attack on the entire continent.

This statement came during Macron's visit to the Mediterranean island, which has been affected by the repercussions of the war in the Middle East, where he also inspected the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle stationed off the coast of Crete in the eastern Mediterranean.
