Young soldiers in Cyprus have money problems. This happens during their army service. They find it hard to buy food and pay for things.
A group called PEMSE looked at the problem. They found the money soldiers get is too small. It is €168 each month. This is not enough for today's prices. The money is for small things, but now it is for food.
The government is trying to help. They give about €100 to some soldiers. This is for holidays. Some poor soldiers get more help.
Money worries are hard for soldiers. It can make them sad. Some soldiers have died before. This shows it is a big problem. The army leaders know this. They say Cyprus must help its soldiers. They protect the country.
