A plan for an undersea gas pipeline running from Alanya in Turkey to Kyrenia in Northern Cyprus was announced by Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar. Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos of Cyprus will raise this Turkish plan to the EU’s foreign affairs council in Luxembourg. The pipeline is projected to run about 97 kilometres under the Levantine Sea and is estimated to cost €601 million, with an operational target of 2028.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project is presented by Northern Cyprus as a means to allow gas found in the eastern Mediterranean to reach Europe via Turkey. Cyprus's government, however, has stated that the memorandum of understanding between Turkey and Northern Cyprus is illegal. The plan involves significant infrastructure investment and aims to establish a new energy interconnector.
