Greek Cypriot government’s autonomous steps intensify tension
(MENAFN) On Friday, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) stated that the Greek Cypriot government’s one-sided decisions intensify conflict in the Eastern Mediterranean.
According to the Foreign Ministry statement, “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.”
The statement also expressed that the Greek Cypriot region agreed on an "exploration and production sharing contract" with the ExxonMobil-Qatar Petroleum consortium, on the license for so-called "block 5".
It also mentioned, “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.”
