Cyprus deputy government spokesperson Victoras Papadopoulos has called for calm in regards to the Turkish navigational telex (NAVTEX) issued on Sunday.
In statements to Sigma’s Mesimeri kai Kati program, Papadopoulos said that Ankara’s latest action, is a violation and not an infringement of Cyprus’ sovereignty. He added that the violation lies in the fact that Turkey did not notify the Cypriot government before issuing the new NAVTEX.
Papadopoulos noted that the exercises described in the Turkish NAVTEX will be conducted in international waters and not in Cyprus’ sovereign area.
