Or just theatrics in the med.Followed perhaps by more maritime boundary disputes in South east Asia,the Arctic,Africa,and Latin America.But could Turkey actually become a positive for both the U.S. and Israel,acting as a regional counterweight to Iran and Saudi.



As energy becomes more difficult to source year by year,its not just going to be the med were conflicts are going to take place,as countries search for fuel.Russia are becoming continually more active in the Arctic,even countries like Argentina are still dipping their big toe in the sea around the Falkands area.And then theres the African region as well.Thought provoking indeed,

Paul,I read yesterday's "North Cyprus Daily News"on line.

An expert professor at Havard University,because of the oil/gas fields:



"Cyprus,in the next 10years,is to become the richest country in Europe"



He did not specify ROC or TRNC



It will be interesting to see the developments in the Eastern Meditteranean

Dont you thing they should see what comes out of the ground first,before they start making such statements.Also there is the matter of Israel v Turkey to sort out yet,

Block 12 appears to be directly south of the sovereign base area at episkopi and therfore any resources found should belong not to the RoC but to the United Kingdom
