Turkey plans to proceed with hydrocarbon surveys in the Eastern Aegean and the Mediterranean, according to the Turkish newspaper 'Yeni Safak'.
In an article titled 'It is time again for drilling in the Mediterranean', the Turkish newspaper 'Yeni Safak' states that Ankara wants to respond to the energy agreement between Greece, Cyprus, the USA and Israel. Turkey is expected to send the large drilling ship 'Abdulhamid Han' to the Mediterranean.
Citing sources from the Turkish Ministry of Energy, 'Yeni Safak' reports that Ankara will send the drilling ship to areas where surveys and drilling have not yet been carried out, specifically in areas allegedly licensed by the pseudo-state.
The Turkish newspaper emphasizes that 'it considers the agreement between Greece, Cyprus, the USA and Israel as an anti-Turkish front.'
