- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
A State department spokesperson expressed the USA's deep concern over the illegal drilling by Turkey in Cyprus' EEZ.
Asked about the EU sanctions over Turkish drilling in Cyprus' Exclusive Economic Zone, US State Department spokesperson Morgan Orgagus said:
"We’ve talked about - I think we’ve talked about this before here. We certainly have expressed similar - similarly to the Europeans, we’ve expressed deep concerns over Turkey’s assertions that it is going to continue to drill in these waters off of Cyprus. And I think that I’m pretty sure that I released a statement on this back on July 9th, and so I refer you back to that statement. I could read it, but you could probably easily get a copy. But again, we similarly share the concern that the Europeans have displayed today."
