It's true he does. Anastasiades wants to end Cyprus’s non-alignment. Joining the PFP is a necessary step in Cyprus’ EU integration plan and more specifically, integration within the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP).
And Cassoulides is in favour of a professional army not for a demilitarised Cyprus. This will be part of a package of proposals including a reduction in military expenditure that Anastasiades will put forward soon.
Interesting times ahead.
