"President Erdoğan says he will not let natural reserves be exploited by Greek Cypriots."
"Last month, Turkish warships were ordered to prevent drilling operations by ENI, an Italian energy company commissioned by Cyprus’s government.
"Hopefully it has been instructive for some who saw an opportunity to act unilaterally when Turkey is engaged in anti-terrorism operations elsewhere," Erdoğan said on Tuesday, adding that Ankara would be deploying its own drillship to the waters off Cyprus imminently.
“We are heading for a full-blown crisis in the eastern Mediterranean,” said Hubert Faustmann, professor of political science at the University of Nicosia. “And that is because Turkey is determined not to allow exploitation of any resources without its consent and participation of Turkish Cypriots.”."
