There will be an LNG plant at Vassilikos. We have all heard as much from, amongst others, the top dogs at the CY Hydrocarbon Company KRETYK and from the head of Noble.
Why do we ignore what has been said by those who are deeply involved in these decisions and go off on flights of fanciful pipe-lines...???
If Turkey wants Cypriot gas and a pipeline, she will have to qualify for it! Its as simple as that..
The LNG plant will go ahead regardless and this is a superior option to export gas to markets globally. It would be a terrible idea to rely exclusively on Turkey to transport Cypriot gas, through a pipeline, even after a solution.
if Cyprus has two export channels, a gas pipeline to Turkey that Turkey will pay for (post solution) and an LNG plant then the more power to her. Turkey then becomes dependent on Cyprus to not turn off the tap!!!.
