[02] HOUSE PRESIDENT - TURKEY
Cyprus House President Demetris Christofias deplored today as ``moves
of diversion`` Turkish National and Natural Gas Company`s (TPAO)
decision to conduct oil researches in the Mediterranean, at a region at
the south of Antalya and at the west of Cyprus.
Replying to questions after arriving in Cyprus from China where he held
an official visit, Christofias said that Turkey`s decision ``provokes
the reaction of all of us, because these actions of diversion in which
Turkey is proceeding are moves that show once more that Turkey is an
occupying force and that it does not respect the international law and
the law of the sea.``
``Turkey does not respect the sovereignty of its neighbouring states,``
Christofias added, noting ``we are not only referring to Cyprus, part
of which Turkey is occupying but other neighbouring states such as
Lebanon, Syria and Egypt.``
