Turkey issues counter-NAVTEX over undersea cable
Published
Turkey has issued a counter-NAVTEX regarding surveys for the undersea electricity cable between Greece and Cyprus. With this announcement, Ankara is calling for the surveys to be coordinated with the competent Turkish authorities.
NAVTEX is an official message that informs ships and aircraft about activities in a specific area of the sea. The Turkish government disputes the legitimacy of the Greek NAVTEX, meaning it does not recognise that the Greek announcement has effect in the area.
The cable project has taken on great importance in recent years, as it is considered significant for connecting Greece energetically with Cyprus and the European market. However, the area through which the cable will pass has repeatedly been the subject of disagreement between the two countries.
So far, no new measures have been announced by the Greek side in response to the Turkish move. The competent authorities continue to monitor the situation, and the next developments are expected to be decisive for the course of the project.
