EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, Josep Borrell has sent a message of “strong solidarity” from Nicosia, noting that Cyprus’ concerns are EU concerns.
 
Borrell was speaking after having had a meeting with Cyprus’ Foreign Affairs Minister Nikos Christodoulides, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the context of a two day visit he is paying Cyprus.
 
"I come to Cyprus after having heard the strong message delivered by President of the Republic Nicos Anastasiades at the last European Council and also having heard you many times at the Council of Foreign Affairs, to discuss recent events and the deteriorating situation in the Eastern Mediterranean, mainly because of exploration and drilling operations performed by Turkey in contested areas,” Borrell said.
