Turkish internationalist: Turkey will not allow any drilling in the Cyprus EEZ

The Turkish Navy will stop any attempt drilling in the Cypriot EEZ, even if it comes from the American Exxon, the Turkish professor of Political Science and International Relations, Bilal Sampur, tells OPEN.

Specifically, when asked what exactly the Turkish internationalist means, he said the following:

“If, for example, the Greek Cypriot government decides to agree with the company (Exxon) for drilling in the area, you can be sure that the Turkish navy will go there to stop them.

Turkey will use its forces without any hesitation. “So it is a very risky move for me,” concluded Bila Sampur.

Speaking to Open, the Turkish internationalist also commented on the recent improvement in relations Turkey with the United Arab Emirates as a realistic effort of his Recep Tayyip Erdogan to attract financial packages from the UAE in order to improve the economic situation of the country by taking advantage of the bad relations between the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
