The Republic of Cyprus carries on with the drilling activities in its Exclusive Economic Zone in spite of Turkish provocations, Energy Ministrer Yiorgos Lakkotrypis has said.
He clarified that there is a small delay concerning the ENI drilling, due to technical difficulties, but he pointed out that by the end of the month the first results from the drilling at `Onasagoras` reserve are expected to be announced.
Speaking on Friday during a presentation for the new regulation in the electricity market and replying to a question on the progress of ENI drilling, the Minister said this continues according to plan, albeit at a slower pace because of some technical difficulties.
