The wheels are in motion for a significant upgrade to the Mari Naval Base in Cyprus, a project poised to reshape the region’s geopolitical landscape. Projected for completion in 2027 or 2028, the upgraded base will host warships from allied nations, including Greece, and bolster Cyprus’s role in regional security and humanitarian efforts. However, the project has drawn sharp criticism from Turkey, adding another layer of complexity to the already fraught Cyprus issue. As diplomatic efforts continue, the international community watches closely to see how this development will impact the ongoing negotiations for a lasting solution on the divided island.
