Report: Turkey to mark out undersea borders
None
The ethnic Turkish northern half of Cyprus marked its marine borders with Turkey and will issue licenses for offshore oil and gas drilling in response to a similar move by the internationally recognized Greek Cypriot half of the island, state media reported Wednesday.
The southern government began exploratory drilling for oil and gas this week, prompting strong protests from Turkey, which doesn't recognize the Greek Cypriot administration and says drilling can derail long-running talks to reunify the island. (AP)
