And btw, GR, if Turkey did what you asked for, what will happen once the Gas & Oil runs out in the future?
Professional prospecting reports would answer questions pertaining to quantity, longevity, and all that which would no doubt form part of this deal and be taken into consideration. (for which I have no info)Lets say that your offer is accepted in full, I still think a secondary pipes should be laid to Greece from Cyprus, just to keep Turkey honest to honour her agreements. Why do you think Russia is building a second pipeline to Europe through Turkey's EEZ in the Black sea when they already have a pipeline going through Ukraine? Well, it's to keep Ukraine honest to honour her agreements with Russia, that's all.
Well, if the RoC wants to have alternative plans they can I suppose but they should be careful not to raise suspicions with Turkey and end up with a sour deal and collapse.
It’s important to remember that Turkey HATES Greece so anything involving Greece will no doubt be met with Turkish intransigence and resistance.
Once there are pipes going to Greece also, then Cyprus can play one against the other to get the best deal on the transitional fees. Much like what Russia is planning to do with Ukraine and Turkey.
This keeps Greece honest also, because both Turkey and Greece will know what the penalty will be if they tried to do extortion on the RoC.
