Tensions over oil in the Mediterranean & French-Greek Cypriot alliance
There are two new stories concerning the Cyprus issue: the first is the tensions over oil in the Mediterranean. Turkey announced that she will do exploration and extraction work for oil in the Mediterranean. Some time ago the Cyprus government has vowed to press ahead with oil and gas exploration off its coast, despite strong objections from Turkey. The Greek Cypriot plans for oil exploration in the eastern Mediterranean have backing from the US.
The second story is the French-Greek Cypriot deal. France and Greek Cyprus signed an agreement to facilitate military and defense cooperation, drawing an angry response from Ankara, which said the deal was against relevant international agreements.
