(MENAFN) In accordance to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), pressure in the Eastern Mediterranean worsened due to The Greek Cypriot government’s one-sided steps.
As announced by Foreign Ministry report “It is not possible for us to stand idly by and watch the deliberate efforts of the Greek Cypriot side to escalate tension in the Eastern Mediterranean region and to ignore all the constructive proposals of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and Republic of Turkey regarding hydrocarbon resources in the area,” also stating that the Greek Cypriot government inked an "exploration and production sharing contract" with the ExxonMobil-Qatar Petroleum group, regarding the license for seeming "block 5".
The report as well said “This unilateral step, disregarding all our warnings, reaffirms the Greek Cypriot administration’s usurpation of the rights of the Turkish Cypriot people, as well as the denial of those of Turkey in the region.”
It also showed “In the face of the Greek Cypriot side's persistence to carry out such activities, we, in collaboration with Motherland Turkey, will continue to resolutely protect and preserve our rights and interests in the region.”
