Where is Smyrni? may one enquire?
Izmir. You know you really need to brush up on your history. Its not that long ago that Smyrni was a vibrant Greek city.
In all the history books TC and UK I have never heard it called anything else. You live and learn. Although I think he was exaggerating a tad. Karpaz was on the cards, to be given back, but the economic zone of the med sea is another matter. I don't envy your position, you will have to make the mountain come to you, you've got more chance of that.
here's a book to start with.

But the report of drilling is strange. Usually a seismic survey is done first. Wind-up?
