Turkish warships stop Italy’s ENI rig in waters off Cyprus

[The SC]

NICOSIA, Cyprus — Turkish warships on maneuvers in the Mediterranean Sea have blocked a rig belonging to the Italian energy firm ENI from reaching an area off Cyprus to start searching for gas, officials said Saturday.

Cyprus’ Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides told state broadcaster RIK that the rig has halted its journey heading south of Cyprus and was waiting for directions from ENI. He says Cypriot authorities are in contact with the company and the Italian government.

The Saipem 12000 rig was stopped Friday by Turkish military ships and told not to continue “because there would be military activities in the destination area,” an ENI spokesman told The Associated Press. “The vessel has prudently executed the orders and will remain in position pending a development of the situation.”

The ENI official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with company policy.
The rig was on its way to drill an exploratory well at Block 3, an area southeast of the island nation, where ENI is licensed to search for hydrocarbons beneath the seabed.

On Thursday, Cyprus said ENI and partner TOTAL of France had discovered a potentially sizeable gas deposit at another block south of the island.

Turkey opposes the drilling, saying it flouts the rights of the breakaway Turkish Cypriots to ethnically-split Cyprus’ natural resources.

It is a real issue..where the UN and the EU recognise the southern part of Cyprus as an independent state..and Turkey is the only nation that recognises Northern Cyprus as a state.. So it is a political issue with ramifications on Gas exploration in the region between Cyprus and Turkey..

You know what the funny thing is?! Turkish troops in Afrin already did to Kurdish women what you're gloating about. Carrying on the bloody legacy of their murderous Janissary ancestors. I would post the video but I can't post such monsterosity here, You can look it up yourself. No wonder Turkey and ISIS are such BFFs. Birds of feather murder together or so the saying goes.

Keep pumping your chests and gleefully chant out your bloodlust. It will never change the fact that the civilized nations of Egypt and Greece and Persia have been here for millennia before the barbarian hordes of steppes tribes descended on Anatolia and called themselves a nation. And then went on to do what barbarians do best: conquering, stealing, and terrorizing the people of the middle East and south and east Europe. It doesn't seem that the offspring of their Janissary turned out any different.

Oh and that lovely comment of your has been reported BTW.

Hmm interesting, you guys keep shut when Saudis bomb civilians in Yemen to oblivion, a whole population threatened by famine/diseases and even funerals get bombed but when its Turkey you cry for a terrorist bitch, Crocodile tears, fit your username.

Salih Müslim has been in Ankara 3 times since the war in Syria started, he could have choosen to cooperate with Turkey instead of being greedy for Syrian lands.
You guys can cry about terrorist as much as you want Turkey will do whats neccessary for its national securtiy.

Egypt is powerful militarily. Greece is not your equal opponent, they're only 16 million and small, Cyprus even smaller and far away from Greece.

the civilized nations of Egypt and Greece and Persia have been here for millennia before the barbarian hordes of steppes tribes descended on Anatolia and called themselves a nation

the civilized nations of Egypt and Greece can not develop even anti Tank missile ... so pathetic
the civilized nations of Egypt and Greece combined have only $530 billion of GDP ... so poor and weak


Turkey has $910 billion of GDP and Turkey develops over 600 military projects


the barbarian hordes of steppes tribes descended on Anatolia saved over 3 millions of Arabs and Kurds from Pkk-Ypg terrorists , Syrian Regime , Iran and Iranian backed terrorist groups which killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in Syria

the civilized nations of Egypt led by dictator SISI killed over 5000 civilians in military coup

the civilized nations of Greece with Serbs,Bulgars,Rumanians,Armenians and Russians killed million of Ottoman Muslim population in Balkans,Anatolia and Caucasia between 1821 and 1922


the civilized nations of The US,Uk,France,Israel killed hundreds of thousands of Arabs in Algeria,Iraq,Palestine,Libya,etc



btw .. over 1260 ugly smelly Pkk-Ypg terrorists were killed by the Turkish Armed Forces in 3 weeks

wait for us AFRIN , We are coming

It is a real issue..where the UN and the EU recognise the southern part of Cyprus as an independent state..and Turkey is the only nation that recognises Northern Cyprus as a state.. So it is a political issue with ramifications on Gas exploration in the region between Cyprus and Turkey..

The real issue in here is;

Greek Cyprots are accepted by Europeans as representative of whole Cyprus island in EU without waiting complation of solution but just adviced that problems on two side to be solved within UN. Additions, there is seperate governements ruling different ethnicities as North and South. Greece is guarantor of South part, While Turkey is of North part on peace negotiations encouraged by UN. Almost all solution packages provided by UN, Turkish part say “Yes”, While South “No”. In this circumstance, the people who rejects solutions provided by UN, is trying to use islands’ Hudrocarbon reserves on their own as if there is not Turkish Cypriots living in island. They say they will prptect the rights of Turkish Cypriots but Turks in island is not under their management, nor the slaves of Greeks. Turkish Cypriots are independant state having own parliament and eatablished their state with blood. That’s the reason Turkish Navy is there to protect the rights of Turkish side. That’s the summarize of whole story.

Size does not matter... i.e "Israel - and most European countries..."
