Cyprus is closely monitoring Greece’s actions concerning the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI) electricity project, with Nicosia and Athens maintaining communication as maritime survey operations move forward amid Navtex and counter-Navtex notices.
Deputy Government Spokesman Yiannis Antoniou outlined the Republic of Cyprus’s position on developments surrounding the Greece-Cyprus electricity interconnection project, including possible reactions to the planned activities.
Cyprus and Greece remain in coordination
Speaking on SIGMA’s Mesimeri kai Kati programme, Antoniou said Nicosia was monitoring Athens’ actions and remained in communication with the Greek government.
He stressed that Greece was exercising its sovereign rights in the area.
Antoniou said the Republic of Cyprus wanted to support Greece’s actions, adding that Nicosia’s position would be shaped by how developments unfolded.
“We will now monitor how the situation develops. We always act on the basis of international law and the law of the sea,” he said.
