According to Cypriot daily Fileleftheros, a reliable EU source from Brussels has said that there is talk of “successful drilling” by the “Fatih” that is located off Paphou and there has been reference to a deposit estimated to be 170 billion cubic meters. The Nicosia government has not confirmed the information.
In addition, European services are saying that Ankara is moving parts of the Russian S-400 missile system to occupied areas of the island of Cyprus, even though the agreement with Russia includes provisions for installation within Turkey.
Brussels has pointed out that this development demonstrates, for the first time, the great political importance of the decision taken against Ankara 13 years ago, when eight EU negotiation chapters were frozen by a community decision, due to Protocol.
