Mogherini: Turkish drilling off Cyprus 'illegal, unacceptable'
By EUobserver
The EU's foreign affairs chief, Federica Mogherini, called Turkish oil drilling plans northeast of Cyprus illegal, unacceptable and a violation of Cyprus' sovereignty. Two months after Turkey started drilling west of Cyprus, Mogherini called "on the Turkish authorities, once again, to refrain from such actions, act in a spirit of good neighbourliness and respect the sovereignty and sovereign rights of the Republic of Cyprus in accordance with international law".
