Ankara's attention on the GSI electrical interconnection project
The Turkish side is monitoring the latest developments regarding the GSI electrical interconnection project with particular attention. This is the ambitious plan to lay a submarine cable aimed at connecting the electrical grids of Greece and Cyprus.
Ankara has expressed its concerns through official statements, warning of potential "entanglement" in the works. Turkish authorities are closely following information coming from Athens and Nicosia, arguing that the project touches on issues related to maritime zones in the region.
For its part, the Greek government is continuing the planning of the project, emphasizing the importance of energy security and the interconnection of island regions with mainland Europe. The GSI project is considered of strategic importance for the energy upgrading of the wider Eastern Mediterranean region.
Diplomatic circles in Athens are awaiting the next moves, while discussions on the implementation of the cable continue at a technical and political level. The situation remains under observation, as the region is a central point of interest for energy stability.
