Regarding the Eastern Mediterranean, he said that " our studies there continue. We have already done 8 studies. We first x-rayed the area and will continue with drilling. We carry out seismic surveys in areas where we observe gas flow. We did such research in the area of Kas. We will evaluate the findings and if we see a prospect, we will send a drill to start drilling. "According to geologists, seismic studies give us hope."

And he continued, referring to the studies around Cyprus: "We continue seismic studies in the "Turkish Republic of Cyprus". We are open to all kinds of dialogue, but we did not see any positive approach from the Greek side. This is actually a great opportunity for all the people of the area. I hope they will be open to dialogue in the near future. I remind you once again that what we said from the beginning, "we do not see in any foreign property, but no one should do the same to us". Our distance from Kastelorizo is 2 km, Greece is 580 km away. When we say that in meetings with Europeans, they agree, but unfortunately they do not do the same in front of the television cameras. We are currently announcing NAVTEX in our own areas, without entering the territorial waters of the islands. "There has been no problem so far."
