Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Cyprus Murat Zyazikov on the Russian language in Cyprus:

🇷🇺🇨🇾 The diversity of cultures, languages, creative ideas and spiritual traditions is the true wealth of this world, which must be protected and maintained regardless of the rapidly changing geopolitical realities. Russian russians are all the more gratifying for us that here in Cyprus, politically a member of the European Union and geographically in the Greater Middle East region, there is a respectful attitude and genuine interest in the multifaceted Russian world, in the Russian language, which is already spoken by over 10% of the population of this island.
