Cyprus: Oil Dispute with Turkey Won’t Go Before UN
NICOSIA, Feb 2, 2007 (Xinhua via COMTEX) — Cyprus said Friday that it will not bring the oil exploration dispute with Turkey to the UN Security Council at the moment.
Government spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis made the statement in an apparent response to a U.S. call for refraining from actions that might further raise the tension.
Pashiardis, however, accused Turkey of acting like “a pirate of the east
Mediterranean” in an attempt to crush Cyprus’ oil exploration plan.
The spokesman had told reporters on Wednesday after a cabinet meeting that Cyprus government were proceeding within the day to report Turkey’s “provocative stance” both to the UN and the EU.
