20939 - The Cypriot EEZ and the new political data
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias
For those who haven’t understood how important the Cypriot EEZ is in regards to solving the Cypriot issue, now they can see that it even plays a role at the negotiations level.
Those who assumed that it was the EEZ on the one hand, and the negotiations on the other, they finally realize how wrong this approach was.
Because the Cypriot EEZ affects everything with its capability range.
It’s no longer possible for a local and or, a community contact to exist, which considers that it functions independently from the energean data.
The establishment of, the three demarcations, and the contracts regarding the hydrocarbons, have innovatively altered the Cypriot issue, and all that within a European context and with a European entitlement.
Therefore, those who want to avoid these two fundamental elements, turn a blind eye, either due of ignorance, or due to servility.
Because the Cypriot EEZ, as well as the European Union, are not merely regarding an issue of economy, but first of all, a high strategy issue as far as Cyprus is concerned.
We comprehend therefore, that the EEZ exerts a pressure upon those who want to violate the rights of Cyprus, and it aids dynamically those who want it liberated.
In other words, the Cypriot EEZ is not only an issue of specific range, as most tend to think.
It has already affected the Cypriot context dynamically with its actions, with its mere existence, and that is obvious with the Noble-Avner-Delek and ENI-Kogas minings.
And that is merely the beginning.
Because the Cypriot EEZ will actually also form the action field of the liberation of the island.
For this reason we should give priority to the natural gas extraction, in order to move on to the next stage.
