A senior US official has dismissed arguments by Ankara that the Greek Cypriot administration's plans to explore the Cypriot coast for oil and natural gas will be harmful to ongoing reunification talks between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders.

[...]

“It would be good for Cyprus. We are prepared to help, as you know, an American firm is involved in developing the energy resources of Cyprus,”

“If it benefits energy diversity in Europe and energy supplies in Cyprus that is a good thing ... I really don't see a linkage between those two issues,” the Reuters news agency quoted Gordon as saying on the same issue.

Oh Thank You Insan... you're very kind .... How are your schemes for the Confederation of Turkic States going??? Have they got as much prospect for oil and gas as the Free Areas of the Republic?

He was Obama's senior foreign policy adviser during the 2008 campaign. Obama hand picked him for the current position so he speaks on behalf of the Obama administration. Him being of possible Jewish faith has absolutely nothing to do with it.
