Cyprus President Nikos Anastaziadis announced its readiness to host the Russian aviation and naval bases, according to Xinhua news agency referring to the Cypriot media.

Agreement on military cooperation between the two states should be signed during the visit of Cyprus in Moscow February 25, 2015.

It is assumed that the Russian Air Force will use the airbase "Andreas Papandreou", combined with the international airport of Paphos in the southwest of the island, 50 kilometers from the air base of the British Royal Air Force "Akrotiri".

Russian Navy will be able to permanently use the base of Limassol.

Last year, the Russian military has been given the opportunity to make full use of Cypriot air base and the main port in Limassol, reports cyprusrussianbusiness.com .

In January 2014 the Ministry of Defence of Cyprus stated that the use of the airbase "Andreas Papandreou" is possible only for emergency care and participation in humanitarian missions.

When the Russian navy has a base in Limasol, the can give up the one in Syria. I wonder who will fill the gap of the political vacuüm.

Not really to NATO as Cyrus is not a NATO member, but for sure to the EU.

Well Cyprus has for years been wanting to become associated with NATO through the Partnership for Peace program, but well, when half your island is owned by Russian money you won't really care about that anymore I think.
