  • [01] GOVERNMENT - TURKEY

    Cyprus Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis condemned as illegal Turkey`s decision to conduct oil exploration in the Mediterranean, adding that Cyprus will proceed with its plans as scheduled.

    Replying to questions after a Council of Ministers meeting, Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis said that ``even if the date for implementing Turkey`s decision to conduct exploration in the Mediterranean remains undetermined, the Cyprus government condemns this decision as illegal and examines ways of reaction.``

    Pashiardis said that tomorrow the official opening of Cyprus First Hydrocarbon Exploration Licensing Round offshore Cyprus will take place as planned, but refrained from making any other comments.

    [02] HOUSE PRESIDENT - TURKEY

    Cyprus House President Demetris Christofias deplored as ``moves of diversion`` Turkish National and Natural Gas Company`s (TPAO) decision to conduct oil researches in the Mediterranean, at a region at the south of Antalya and at the west of Cyprus.

    Replying to questions after arriving in Cyprus from China where he held an official visit, Christofias said that Turkey`s decision ``provokes the reaction of all of us, because these actions of diversion in which Turkey is proceeding are moves that show once more that Turkey is an occupying force and that it does not respect the international law and the law of the sea.``

    ``Turkey does not respect the sovereignty of its neighbouring states,`` Christofias added, noting ``we are not only referring to Cyprus, part of which Turkey is occupying but other neighbouring states such as Lebanon, Syria and Egypt.``
