The United States and Qatar have promised not to drill in the Cyprus EEZ, which is within the Turkish mainland, according to Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu.
Speaking to the Turkish parliament, Tsavousoglu said that he had talked with the two countries and they had promised him that.
An announcement is expected from both countries to confirm or refute the claim.
“This year, Greece and the Greek Cypriots tried 6 times to send ships from third countries to our continental shelf and each time with our contacts, with those countries, but also with our soldiers, that is, with the presence of our armed forces, the we blocked. What did we say before? “We are ready for anything, if necessary at the table and if necessary at the front,” said the Turkish Foreign Minister.
He added: “For the agreement signed by Qatar and Exxon, I must make it clear that, as I said earlier, no one can enter our continental shelf without our permission. Also, no one can enter the areas that have been granted research permits by the “TRNC”. In fact, both countries, the USA and Qatar, promised that in plot 5 they will not enter the area of our continental shelf. They will not enter, they will remain in the area south of the line of our continental shelf on plot 5. “
