"Dok kiparski Grci smatraju da je to nalazište gasa karika koja osnažuje njihov položaj, nije sigurno da se taj gas može koristiti bez postignutog rješenja za otok, ili, u nedostatku toga, posebnog ugovora s kiparskim Turcima i Turskom", tvrdi Akyel.
"While the Greek Cypriots may see this gas find as a leverage that strengthens their hand, it is not certain that the gas can be exploited without a solution on the island, or failing that, a separate agreement with Turkish Cypriots and Turkey," Akyel said.
