[03] Defence Minister - US - Attack
Nicosia, Oct 8 (CNA) -- Increased security measures taken by the National
Guard should not be considered as steps for war but simply heightened
security measures, Defence Minister Socratis Hasikos said here today,
adding that such moves are reasonable steps one is expected to take under
the circumstances.
"We should not create by ourselves conditions of war and thereby spread
panic or unnecessary anxiety," the minister said, noting that the National
Guard's annual military exercises, scheduled to take place in the weeks
ahead, will take place as planned.
