Ankara reveals its plan after the “incident” in Kasos.
Specifically, the Turkish Energy Minister, Alparslan Bayraktar, speaking to HBR on Friday morning, he revealed how “We will look for natural gas and oil in the Aegean.”
Which shows that Turkey’s movements were not at all random while an Italian research vessel was conducting research in international waters. (within the Greek EEZ).
As the first images of the new gas ship were shown on screen, Bayraktar said: “It will arrive early next week. We will have new discoveries and new drilling.”
“The goal is the Aegean”
He added that “We need 2 million barrels of natural gas and oil. We produce 1/8 of our needs. The Black Sea and Mediterranean gas will be activated first. After the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, the target is the Aegean.”
