Cyprus issued an anti-navtex today, August 16, as a response to Turkey’s own Navtex issued yesterday. Turkey’s Navtex extends the presence of Yavuz drillship in block 6 of the EEZ of the Republic of Cyprus, until September 15.
Cyprus’ anti-Navtex, issued by the Joint Rescue Coordination Center (JRCC), warns that Turkey’s notice concerns an “unauthorized and illegal activity of the Yavuz drilliship and its supporting vessels in Cyprus’ Exclusive Economic Zone and continental shelf “.
