The Italian armed forces guarantee
the balance of the republic, President Sergio Mattarella told
the sailors of the frigate Bergamini in the port of Limassol in
southern Cyprus on an official visit to the island on Tuesday.
"The armed forces guarantee the freedom of the Republic and its
citizens and in this way ensure their security and defence: and
this is of extraordinary importance in the balance of our
Republic and our democracy," he said.
