ISTANBUL - One of Turkey’s oil and gas exploration ships in the eastern Mediterranean will soon begin drilling southwest of Cyprus, Energy Minister Fatih Donmez said on Saturday, as Ankara and Nicosia dispute offshore rights in the area.
Ankara announced on Thursday that it had sent its Yavuz oil-and-gas drilling ship to waters off southern Cyprus where Greek Cypriot authorities have already awarded hydrocarbon exploration rights to Italian and French companies. The ship’s location was unchanged from Friday, Refinitiv Eikon ship tracking data shows. Turkey’s second drill ship, Fatih, has been operating off the west coast of the Cyprus.
