Cyprus releases commemorative stamps honoring security and defense forces

On September 28, 2026, the Cypriot government presented a new series of commemorative stamps at the Press and Information Office auditorium in Nicosia. The event served to honor the ongoing contributions of the Cyprus Police, the Fire Service, and the National Guard to the state.

During the presentation, Minister of Transport, Communications and Works Evi Tsolaki stated that the stamps recognize the dedication of the men and women serving in these institutions, who often operate under demanding conditions. According to the Minister, the stamps symbolize key national values, including public safety, territorial defense, and emergency readiness. The Cyprus Police are tasked with maintaining public order, the Fire Service handles emergency responses and natural disasters, and the National Guard focuses on the defense of the Republic of Cyprus.

These stamps are intended to serve as historical artifacts that promote the identity and commitment of these institutions both within Cyprus and internationally. The government highlighted that effective public security requires modern equipment, specialized training, and operational cooperation between the relevant authorities as a prerequisite for a functional democratic society.
