The European Union must send a clear message to Turkey, so that it stops its illegal activities in Cyprus' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras underlined during the informal EU leaders' summit taking place here on Thursday.

The informal EU Summit in Sibiu, Romania ended with the EU28 leaders expressing their full support to Cyprus over the Turkish provocations in its EEZ via illegal drilling activities.

EU diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini on Saturday urged Turkey to reconsider plans to start exploratory drilling for oil and gas off Cyprus, already condemned as illegal by the European Union.
