29 June, 2016In a statement, President Mustafa Akıncı officially welcomed the normalization of diplomatic relations between Turkey and Israel and the announcement that a similar process has begun with Russia.
Explaining that these developments are important steps towards achieving stability amongst Turkey, Israel and Russia, but also for a region struggling with serious problems, President Akıncı said: “The normalization of Turkey-Israel relations also allows for new cooperation opportunities to arise, particularly with regards to the natural gas of the Eastern Mediterranean. If the Cyprus problem is solved, natural gas resources off the shores of Cyprus and Israel can be pooled and sent to Turkey and Western Europe. This is the most realistic project which will benefit all parties.”
