19 November, 2018Spokesperson of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs Hami Aksoy made evaluations regarding Exxon Mobile Company’s offshore exploration activities around the island of Cyprus.
Aksoy stated that the Exxon Mobile Company starting hydrocarbon exploration activities on the so-called parcel ‘10’ of the Greek Cypriot Administration, offshore of the island of Cyprus will not contribute to the stability of the region and also will change some delicate balances in terms of a solution of the Cyprus problem.
Aksoy stressed that they had previously issued a legal warning to the Greek Cypriot side to stop the unilateral hydrocarbon activities due to the fact that all of the natural resources around the island of Cyprus belong to both sides in Cyprus not only to the Greek Cypriot side.
“We would like to remind that sharing of the natural resources of the island of Cyprus is an issue regarding the core of the Cyprus problem” Aksoy added.
