Cyprus to Allow Russian Navy Use of its Ports
Russia has signed an agreement with Cyprus to give its ships access to the Mediterranean country's ports.
The deal comes as tensions continue between Russia and Western countries over the Ukrainian conflict.
Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with Forces TV, the Cypriot foreign minister says the agreement is nothing new.
Ioannis Kasoulides said it goes back to 1996 and denied reports that Russia wants to establish its own military base on the island.
