Turkish research vessel sails towards EEZ blocks 4 and 5 off Cyprus

Turkish research vessel “Oruç Reis” returned on Saturday morning in the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus, off the island’s western coast, after crossing into the Greek continental shelf, on Friday, causing increased vigilance on the part of Athens.
 
Earlier this month, Ankara dispatched “Oruç Reis” in the region to conduct unauthorized seismic research, issuing a navigational telex or navtex.
 
A military source told CNA that the Turkish vessel was located within the EEZ of Cyprus already at 9.
