[01] SPOKESMAN - EXPLOITATION OF OIL - US - TURKEY
The Cyprus government said Friday it is watching with a composed manner
developments as far as the issue of exploration and exploitation of oil
is concerned and does not deem necessary to file a recourse to the UN
Security Council.
Replying to questions on the issue as well as commenting on statements
by US State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack, who urged Turkey and
Cyprus to refrain from any actions that might be misinterpreted by the
other side, Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis said there
are no ambiguous legal dimensions as far as the delimitation of the
shelf is concerned.
He noted that only the countries which signed the agreements with
Cyprus, that is Lebanon and Egypt, have a say on the issue.
