Cyprus Condemns Turkey’s Plan for Undersea Gas Pipeline to Occupied North
Turkey’s plan to build an undersea natural gas pipeline from its mainland to the occupied northern part of Cyprus is being strongly condemned by the Republic of Cyprus as a violation of its sovereignty. The pipeline project is viewed as a strategic move by Turkey to increase the occupied areas’ dependence on it by controlling water, gas, and potentially electricity supply. Cyprus sees this as part of a broader effort to integrate the occupied territories into Turkey.
In response, Cyprus has taken diplomatic action, including a letter from Ambassador Maria Michael to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, calling for Turkey to halt the project immediately and comply with international law. Evidence shows preparatory activities, such as maritime surveys conducted by Turkish vessels, are already underway.
The Republic of Cyprus insists that these actions by Turkey violate international law and EU sovereignty rights. While the UN has limited means to intervene, Cyprus urges the European Union to use its political and legal tools to prevent further provocations by Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
