ANKARA - Agence France-Presse
Turkey threatened reprisals today against companies bidding for oil and gas drilling projects off Greek Cyprus, whose government is not recognized by Ankara.
"The companies ... which cooperate with GKRY [the Greek Cypriot administration] will not be included in energy projects in Turkey in the future," the foreign ministry said.
Turkey's warning came after Greek Cyprus announced that 29 companies had made 15 bids for exploratory drilling in a second round of licensing to exploit offshore oil and gas deposits despite strong objections from Turkey.
