Greece-Cyprus power link clears licensing; NAVTEX issued despite Turkish objections

Greece's foreign ministry announced completion of licensing procedures for the Greece-Cyprus electric interconnection and issuance of a NAVTEX, following talks between Greek FM Gerapetritis and his Cypriot counterpart. This move counters Turkey's earlier NAVTEX that contested the project's maritime survey area, escalating a dispute over seabed rights in the Eastern Mediterranean. The development signals Athens and Nicosia proceeding despite Ankara's opposition, potentially heightening regional tensions.
