Al Jazeera Arabic reported that a maritime conflict between Turkey and Greece is disrupting the European electricity interconnector project for Cyprus. The channel attributed the disruption to a dispute over the continental shelf and maritime survey permits, as well as to the political escalation that followed the approval of the Turkish-Libyan agreement. According to the channel, this escalation was linked to the dispute over the seabed in the eastern Mediterranean. The information comes from a single source and has not been independently verified.
