What is happening

What the sources report

Nicosia complains in a letter to the UN Secretary-General about Turkish undersea surveys linked to the planned natural gas pipeline between Turkey and the occupied areas of Cyprus.[1]

The letter is dated 21 October 2026 and is signed by Cyprus's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Maria Michail.[2]

According to the letter, on 30 September Turkey issued an unauthorised navigational warning for “scientific research and undersea operations” by the research vessels Oruç Reis, Denar Pathfinder, Denar Echo and Kirici.[1]

The activities were scheduled for the period from 1 to 25 October 2026 and were ongoing at the time of drafting the letter.[1]

The Cypriot side states that the operations were being carried out in the territorial sea, the EEZ and the continental shelf of the Republic of Cyprus “without the permission or consent of the Republic of Cyprus”.[1]
