I24: Cyprus has full right to drill for gas, oil, says Israeli FM Lieberman
Cyprus has a right to drill for gas and oil off its shores, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman stated on Wednesday.
The statement, cited by the Israeli daily Haaretz, was delivered as Israel is reportedly mulling a cooperation with the Greek part of the island country aimed to exploit its natural resources.
Both have both discovered huge offshore natural gas deposits beneath the Mediterranean Sea between them, and have tentatively discussed cooperation on delivering gas to European and Asian markets.
