State Department callsTurkey to halt drilling in Cyprus' Exclusive Economic Zone

The US Department of State urges Turkey to halt drilling operations in Cyprus' Exclusive Economic Zone.

"The United States is deeply concerned by Turkey’s announced intentions to begin offshore drilling operations in an area claimed by the Republic of Cyprus as its Exclusive Economic Zone. This step is highly provocative and risks raising tensions in the region. We urge Turkish authorities to halt these operations and encourage all parties to act with restraint," the statement said.
