Is France violating the Cyprus treaty by deploying jets to the island?

Paris has been recently taking an aggressive posture in the Mediterranean Sea to oppose Turkey’s increasing presence in the region.

Located in the middle of the eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus had both Turkish and Greek populations until the island was divided into two parts following a Turkish military operation aimed at protecting the island's Turkish minority in 1974. Ankara moved against the Greek-Cypriot military coup, which was aimed at dislodging the internationally recognised government of the Republic of Cyprus.

Bozkurt refers to the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960 under the treaties signed by Britain, Turkey and Greece. According to the treaties, Britain as the former colonialist power of Cyprus, and Turkey and Greece, as the protector states of respective ethnic communities in the island, became the three guarantor states of the Republic of Cyprus.

Contrary to the expectations of NATO members and regional observers, Paris has been reckless in its foreign policy moves, despite being a permanent member of the UN Security Council. Instead of addressingwithin the norms of international diplomacy, Paris has recently shown its disregard for international law and prominent treaties, supporting warlords like Khalifa Haftar in Libya against the UN-sanctioned legitimate Tripoli government.

In order to counter Turkey’s increasing assertiveness across the eastern Mediterranean, France and Greece have strengthened their respective relations, using the Cyprus dispute as a launching platform to oppose Ankara in the region.

“They would say something when someone says something negatively about their military bases in the island,” Bozkurt observed.

The French haven't been behaving like a NATO ally . Shame

Well these few jets are not gonna do much against powerful turkish airforce

France does not have immunity and must abide by international law. Laws remain same for everyone and must be respected. Hope better sense is shown by France.

They all come as group against Muslim countries. Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Lebonon all destroyed, rest of mid-east surrendered to them from Egypt to UAE. They have been doing everything to bring Turkey down and now planning to attack Turkey.
