Cicek said TRNC's one of main needs was potable water.
Turkish government spokesman said on Monday that Turkish government wanted to see a stronger Turkish Cypriot state.
State Minister & Deputy Prime Minister Cemil Cicek, also the government spokesman, said that the government wanted to see a stronger Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
"Turkey has done and will continue to do what it has to do as a friend of TRNC," Cicek told reporters after the cabinet meeting in Ankara.
Cicek said TRNC's one of main needs was potable water, and Turkey had started to implement a project to transport water to TRNC beneath the Black Sea.
The government spokesman estimated the cost of the project around 450-500 million USD, and said Turkey would carry water from Alakopru Dam on Dragon Brook in the southern town of Anamur to TRNC through pipes constructed beneath the Black Sea.
Cicek said Turkey was assisting TRNC with three-year protocols signed with prime ministers of that country, and the aim of the protocols was to make TRNC stronger.
"The aim of the protocols is to eliminate the difference in level of development between TRNC and the Greek Cypriot administration, and to make TRNC more prosperous," Cicek also said.
