“Even if the whole world gets in our way, Turkey will not deviate from its position and will protect its interests in Cyprus, as well as in the Aegean and Mediterranean seas,” Anadolu quotes him.
He also criticized the position of the United States, which lifted the arms embargo on the Greek community of Cyprus, the agency writes.
The minister recalled his last conversation with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, to whom he offered to provide financial assistance to the Greek Cypriots, if desired, "but not to supply weapons."
Cavusoglu said he "openly asked" Blinken who Washington was arming Nicosia against.
Earlier, French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, following talks in Athens with Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias, said that France would fully support Greece and Cyprus in the event of a threat to their national sovereignty.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the Greek authorities to "learn lessons from history" and "stop the course of provocations."
Otherwise, Athens "will pay a heavy price," he said.
