Turkey-Cyprus Gas Pipeline Project Aims to Power Entire Island
A planned natural gas pipeline linking Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot community could potentially supply power to the entire island of Cyprus.
Background
Cyprus has been ethnically split since 1974, with the internationally recognized Republic of Cyprus in the south and a Turkish Cypriot administration in the north. Turkey is the only country to recognize the Turkish Cypriot administration. Energy resources in the Eastern Mediterranean are a source of ongoing regional interest and disputes.
