Turkish Prime Minister Binali Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m threatened<\/strong> not only hydrocarbon survey ships of oil giant Exxon Mobile but also the US 6th Fleet is participating in a naval exercise in the area 7-18 March 2018.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As KeepTalkingGreece.com reports,<\/a> Yildirim said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Republic of Cyprus would not be allowed to get away with selling the energy resources surrounding the island,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Yildirim said on Wednesday. With reference to the turkey-occupied North part of Cyprus, he added \u201cthe natural riches surrounding the island of Cyprus is the common wealth of all the people who live on the island.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And he threatened that:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis and other provocative activities that create faits accomplis will be responded to in an appropriate fashion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was a clear message even to the US Fleet as some media have linked its presence off\u00a0 Cyprus to the Exxon survey,<\/strong> saying the Fleet was going to protect the Exxon Mobile survey vessels.<\/p>\n

Last month, Turkish war ships threatened to sink drilling ship commissioned by Italy\u2019s\u00a0ENI<\/a>\u00a0and ultimately managed to block the process as the Italian diplomacy did not dare to put the lives of their fellowmen at risk.<\/p>\n

A day earlier, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, reacting to U.S. Sixth Fleet heading to East Mediterranean, said , \u201cwhile European states\u2019 boats abandoning refugees to death, we try to rescue every innocent\u2019s life. You can only make it there with your Sixth Fleet, aircraft carrier.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yildirim underlined that any underground riches surrounding the island should only be extracted with the permission of both the island\u2019s administrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny work in which one of these interlocutors is not part of the deal will be evaluated by us as a threat to the sovereign rights of North Cyprus<\/strong>,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
