<p>We recognise the Republic of Cyprus’ sovereign rights to its Exclusive Economic
Zone (EEZ) and to exploit its natural resources. We have discussed recent developments
with all sides, including Turkey, with a view to encouraging a resolution.</p><p>We
urge all parties to avoid any actions that risk escalating tensions in the region
or could have a negative impact on the prospects for a Cyprus Settlement. Instead,
we urge them to look for ways by which development of hydrocarbons can support the
search for a settlement, for the benefit of all Cypriots.</p>
