Çavuşoğlu: “The natural gas to be extracted in Cyprus has no other route than Turkey”

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu stated that the natural gas to be extracted in Cyprus has no other route than Turkey and added that the Greek Cypriot side and Israel also shared the same view, therefore all agreements signed in the past have no meaning.

Çavuşoğlu said: “Hopefully, this year will be a solution year in Cyprus. We keep saying that the current opportunity in Cyprus should not be missed because this is the last chance.”

Noting that the negotiation process is continuing in Cyprus, Çavuşoğlu reminded that although the two sides made progress on many issues, difficult issues like property and territory still exist.
