Turkey issues Navtex in area north of Cyprus

The Antalya station issued a navigational telex (Navtex) late on Friday announcing that the Turkish ship Oruc Reis will carry out seismic surveys in an area north of Cyprus. The Oruc Reis, accompanied by the Ataman and Cengiz Han support ships, will be operating in the region until December 21.

The Navtex was issued a day after the Greek parliament ratified the defensive agreement with France on Thursday and following the conclusion of the major aeronautical exercise “Eunomia 2/2021” between Cyprus, Greece, France, and Italy.

The Navtex in its entirety:
