🚨 NEW: France and Cyprus to sign defense pact Monday allowing French troop deployment to the island for "strictly humanitarian purposes," per Cypriot President Christodoulides.
The status-of-forces agreement covers joint exercises, military coordination & personnel exchanges.
But Turkish Cypriot politician Ustel calls it "extremely dangerous & provocative" — warning it "transforms southern Cyprus into a base for foreign soldiers."
