Anastasiades issues blunt warning. No gas for Turkey, no gas revenues for the TCs, without a solution. Turkey not a strategic 'partner' only a potential client after a solution...

President: Turkey a client not a partner in natural gas after solution

Anastasiades said that Turkey`s contribution to efforts to solve the Cyprus problem would greatly facilitate its needs for natural gas and would also benefit the Turkish Cypriot community.

He pointed out that the natural gas in Cyprus` exclusive economic zone belonged to the Republic of Cyprus and that the Turkish Cypriots would have their share if and when the Cyprus problem was solved

THE government will not make any discrimination if Turkey is interested in becoming a customer for natural gas after a solution of the Cyprus problem, but must not be considered a strategic partner in any way, President Nicos Anastasiades has said.

He added that the issue of natural gas was not to be discussed at the negotiations for a solution of the Cyprus problem.

Anastasiades said that Turkey`s contribution to efforts to solve the Cyprus problem would greatly facilitate its needs for natural gas and would also benefit the Turkish Cypriot community.

He pointed out that the natural gas in Cyprus` exclusive economic zone belonged to the Republic of Cyprus and that the Turkish Cypriots would have their share if and when the Cyprus problem was solved.

He also pointed out the upgraded geostrategic role of Cyprus, noting that Europe needed a second source of natural gas and that route passed through Cyprus.

Referring to developments in Ukraine, the President said the consequences should have been calculated before any moves, and pointed out that Cyprus, as a full member of the EU, could contribute easing tensions in this tumultuous region, taking into consideration the changes after the discovery of hydrocarbons and especially the upgraded geostrategic role of Cyprus, in conjunction with how it can contribute to peace in the region, with its excellent relations with Israel and the Arab states.

Your leader is playing with fire, wars have broken out for less benefit, I would keep stoom if I was him he pulling you into a very dangerous situation...If Israel and the USA say Turkey gets the gas then Turkey get the gas and theres nothing you can do about.

Before you start frothing at the mouth you should bear in mind that there is no chance that Cyprus will allow a pipeline to Turkey to go through its economic waters. That is a simple fact and there is nothing Turkey can do about it – except of course agree to a solution on the island acceptable to Greek Cypriots.

Then, according to Anastasiades, Cyprus would consider its options with regard to Turkey as a client of Cypriot gas. And presumably to granting permission for any proposed Israel-Turkey pipeline to run through Cypriot EEZ.

Perfectly reasonable comments and nothing for you to get hysterical about.

Stick to the facts. Not your fantasies. Turkey has virtually no say over the exploration and extraction of Cypriot gas. You only have to look at how ineffective Turkish threats have been so far. No major company would invest millions in Cypriot exploration unless Turkey has been told to lay off. That is the reality. Nobody backs Turkey's alleged 'rights' to gas in the East Med. Because it has none.
