Greek Cypriot administration had also cancelled the annual Nikiforos exercise planned for this year. Toros and Nikiforos war games had last been carried out in 2007. Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) Presidency spokesman Osman Ertug said that this year's maneuvers had been cancelled following consultations with mainland Turkey, the guarantor power of Cyprus. Toros military exercise was planned to be performed every year jointly by Turkish Peace Force in Cyprus and TRNC Security Forces Command.
