Cyprus' deputy government spokesman says the ethnically divided island's conscript army is stepping up its readiness in light of the turmoil in neighboring Turkey.

Viktoras Papadopoulos told The Associated Press Saturday that the Greek Cypriot National Guard is "taking all appropriate measures" in the wake of the military uprising against Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

In a separate statement, Papadopoulos said top government officials had convened a meeting at National Guard headquarters on the orders of Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades who's on an official visit to Mongolia.

The statement said Cyprus' Parliamentary Speaker and acting President Demetris Syllouris and Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides are monitoring developments in Turkey and are in contact with European and other governments.

Turkey maintains more than 35,000 troops in the breakaway Turkish Cypriot north of Cyprus since the island was split in 1974 when Turkey invaded after a coup aiming at union with Greece.

Erdogan: A minority of the armed forces targeted the unity and integrity of this country #TurkeyCoup

This was an act of treason and they’ll have to pay heavily for that.

The government was elected by the people, a president elected by the people.
