Also, the med's eco system will be under just as much risk from Israeli drilling so that environment won't be better off if we do not drill. We will just end up being financially worse off, and that is just plain STUPID!!!!

It dosent matter where im from, in fact it seems as if im much closer to cyprus than you are, as an island nation we should be the first to speak up against oil and gas extraction, sea levels are rising faster than first estimated, cyprus would be one of the first islands to dissapear within the next 50 years. Or doesnt that bother you.

What ? It wood help if Jahitty at least came friom Planet Earth as on that Planet Cyprusb is quite hilly and a very good proprtion of N Europe will have gone (all the way from the Baltic to the Urals) long before Cyprus vanishes beneath the waves.

Otherwise how much sea level rise is this idiot predicting? The best estimate suggest a rise over the next centurty from about 90mm (about 3.5 inchs) to 880 mm (about 35 inches) with a probable 480mm (20"or so) and that will barely tickle to pavement at the Molos.

Quite!

Missed this bit!

Cyprus is very mountainous so I it won't be disappearing below the waves any time soon!

How bloody stupid can somebody be?

Excellent, so more of the same then! See you in hell.

[supporttheunderdog]

Probably no such place....

[humanist]

How about we drill the oil we sell it off to the Brit's and we use some of the money to buy back the bases from them LOL .... then we can say we have a free Country

[jahitty]

MMM, interesting, how about the lunatic turkish bases?

[Paphitis]

Yep, more of the same.

We are just following everyone else's lead.

Surely the awest knows best, so if they want a change, then they can lead by example and minnows such as Cyprus will follow their lead.

Until then, Cyprus, Israel and Egypt will drill in the Med to make their respective nations stronger and more prosperous.

Get the oil and gas out now and cash in the chips. The longer its sitting there the longer Cyprus will be sitting duck, take the money and run. Are you mental enough to tell Israel and the Americans, British or whoever wants our oil piss off we want it in the ground?

[Bananiot]

There are financial, environmental and above all, political aspects regarding the oil. All these must be taken into consideration before any move is made. Probably, it cannot be touched (if it is there) until a solution to the cyprob is reached. The populist rhetoric that aims at making the natives believe we are on the verge of becoming rich, is dangerous in this explosive part of the world with so many issues open.
