The Republic of Cyprus has demanded from Turkish seismic research vessel "Barbaros" to immediately cease its illegal actions in Cyprus` EEZ and continental shelf.

A NAVTEX issued by Cyprus` Joint Rescue Coordination Center (JRCC) said that a Turkish NAVTEX for seismic survey until February 16 by “Barbaros” and supporting vessels ``TANUX 1" and ``APOLLO MOON`` is referring to unauthorized and illegal operation in the Exclusive Economic Zone and the continental shelf of the Republic of Cyprus.
 
"This action constitutes a violation of the international law and maritime safety procedures and it is also a criminal offence under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus," the JRCC NAVTEX noted.
