The magazine “Epikaira” brings to light secret communications of the Greek Prime Minister with Israel and USA regarding the exploitation of oil and gas resources as a possible solution to the economic crisis.
The Exclusive Economic Zones with Cyprus will contribute to searches and exploitation of any possible natural resources in the area. The cooperation of Cyprus and Israel in the energy sector will be completed with the participation of Greece.
The USA and Russia have given permission to Cyprus to begin with drilling after the rejection of Turkish proposals regarding such initiatives.
The next step is the creation of a tube which will transfer Cypriot, Israeli and possibly Greek gas to the European markets. The Israeli company Delek and the American Noble agreed to drilling in the Cypriot Exclusive Economic Zone.
The Republic of Cyprus will have until August 1st 2013 to decide if the country will give permission to the companies Delek and Avner to participate in the project. Until then the companies will be able to transfer their rights to another company accepted by Noble.
