by

“All those who live on the island of Cyprus have the right to benefit from the resources” emphasized Turkey’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Fatih Donmez, acknowledging that Turkey has no rights to the specific plot

Turkey’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Fatih Donmez, requested a share on behalf of the pseudo-state from the Cyprus deposit in the 6th plot, who, however, recognizes that the specific plot is outside the jurisdiction of his country.

As SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis reports from ConstantinopleFatih Donmez emphasized that “both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the TRNC and our Ministry of Foreign Affairs made assessments regarding the work done in this area.

The 6th plot is outside the jurisdiction of Turkeybut we would be wrong if we saw Cyprus as consisting of only one side.

Everyone who lives on the island of Cyprus has the right to benefit from the resources. We consider that transactions that are made while ignoring the other party are not fair.

In this context, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in its statements that the rights and interests of our compatriots living in Northern Cyprus should be protected.”

Finally, Mr. Donmez added that “we will continue exploration and drilling activities in the Mediterranean on our own continental shelf, in the areas under our jurisdiction. This process continues as part of a business plan.”
