Cyprus:gas, Turkish order for Cypriot EEZ coming into effect

(ANSAmed) - NICOSIA - The maritime order issued by Turkey
earlier this month, prompting Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades to
halt reunification talks with the Turkish Cypriots, is due to come into
effect on Monday, as Kathimerini online reported. The instructions, also
known as a Navigational Telex or NAVTEX, are for the Turkish research
vessel 'Barbaros' to explore within the boundaries of the Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) of Cyprus where the Italian-Korean energy consortium
ENI-Kogas with its drill ship Saipem 10000 began in September its first
testing for hydrocarbon reserves.
In the notice Ankara said that it was reserving areas south of Cyprus for seismic surveys from October 20 to December 30.
However, the order will be effective on the same day that Russian warships armed with missiles will be conducting exercises in the same waters. Nicosia's agreement with Russia for the naval exercises to take place was secured before Turkey issued its NAVTEX. Nevertheless, Moscow has shown an interest in standing by Anastasiades in the face of Turkish provocation. The Cypriot leader met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) in Milan last week and Putin said that any violation of the Republic of Cyprus' sovereign rights is "unacceptable."(ANSAmed).

Cypriot National Defense Minister Christoforos Fokaides said that a seismic Turkish frigate, the “Barbaros,” and two additional vessels entered the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Cyprus at 6.30 a.m. on Monday.
The Cypriot Government is closely monitoring developments, stated Fokaides, who condemned the entry in strong terms. The action, provocative and illegal, violates all international and European maritime laws and undermines security and stability in the greater region, he added.
Turkey recently issued a marine advisory for seismic surveys in international waters, including Cyprus’s Flight Information Region (FIR), as well as its EEZ. It did so without asking Cypriot authorities for permission. Ankara does not officially recognize the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus.
A ship belonging to the Turkish navy is also in the region observing the exploratory deep-sea drilling for Cypriot gas deposits by ENI-Kogas, an Italian-Korean energy consortium. The vessel sits five miles away from a rig that will drill 5,500 meters – in water 2,500 meters deep – over the coming weeks. Additional exploratory drilling is expected to take place over the next 19 months.
Furthermore, Russian navy exercises are taking place in the area this week, with Russian warships conducting drills east of Cyprus between October 20 and 23. The drills will take place inside the Nicosia FIR in a reserved area of over 800 square miles stretching from Cape Apostolos Andreas to the coast of Syria.
President Nicos Anastasiades said on Sunday the Turkish actions proved wrong all those who believed in Turkey’s assurances about a substantial contribution to the solution of the Cyprus problem
