Republic of Cyprus gas exploration programme will continue unhindered, President of the Republic, Nicos Anastasiades, has stressed, commenting on Turkish threats.
Asked on the sidelines of a visit he paid on Thursday to a military camp, on the occasion of Christmas celebrations, if there is a possibility for the consortium that started drilling in “Glafkos” gas field to proceed with a drilling program in a second field, despite Turkish threats, the President said that “the exploration programme of the Republic of Cyprus will continue unhindered.”
“I`m not saying that drilling will take place next year, but there will certainly be exploratory drills in block 5 licensed to ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleum”, he added.
