Greek Cypriots are trying to ignore TRNC
Turkey on the basis of legitimacy of the eastern Mediterranean and Erdogan said that he acted in accordance with the memorandum of understanding with Libya, "which increases the tension in the Mediterranean, not Turkey, Northern Cyprus trying to ignore the Turkish Republic. The Greek Cypriot side sees the island as a property with deeds since 2003 and gives concession licenses for petroleum/natural gas exploration activities in the maritime jurisdictions of the island, which they have no rights to".
"The solution in the Eastern Mediterranean is through dialogue and negotiation. If you act with common sense and common sense, a win-win based formula that protects everyone's rights can be found. We are never looking for unnecessary adventure, nor tension. Does a country that is a member of the European Union fulfill its responsibility to protect the law of the Turkish minority in Western Thrace according to European Union law or not? The European Union should ask the Greek administration to account for this," he added.
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PERIOD SUPPORTED THE ANNAN PLAN

Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot exclusive rights violators of the law and there is no chance of success in any venture and agreements," he said.
"ORUÇ REİS WILL CONTINUE ITS ACTIVITIES UNTIL 23 AUGUST"
Fasting Reis Monday's study that began in Turkey, the United Nations reported that the continental shelf borders, Erdogan stated that it is in, "Fasting our Reis ship in the region until August 23, will conduct the seismic survey activities. The attitude of Greece in the Aegean and the Mediterranean is malicious. Demanding a maritime jurisdiction over Meis Island, which is 2 kilometers from the Turkish coast and 580 kilometers from the Greek mainland, cannot be explained with reason and common sense. Here in Greece, Turkey's rights and I invite you again to comply with the law," he said.
