Abdulhamid Khan, Turkey's fourth floating drilling vessel left the port of Seleucia bound for the area bound by NAVTEX 0498/23 issued by the Antalya hydrographic station from May 23 to 25 to conduct technical tests of his equipment.
Although the point that has been reserved is outside the Cypriot EEZ, Athens and Nicosia are nevertheless monitoring this movement.
This move is essentially a harbinger of the next mission of the Turkish drilling rig. The bad thing about this case is that his next mission will be in areas of the "Blue Homeland", which Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan himself has pointed out.
One should not forget that Ankara trumpets at every opportunity that the Turkish Cypriots have equal rights to the deposits of the region, whether in an area under Greek jurisdiction, as the truth is that Turkey does not at all want to see the Greek energy program progress.
Let's remember that Erdogan's most recent statements are indicative and prove that Ankara remains faithful to its revisionist axis aimed at the "Century of Turkey" which is essentially creating a new Ottoman Empire:
"Those who have the impression that this country and this city belong to them, no matter how hard they try, they must understand that Istanbul is Anatolia, it is Thrace, Istanbul is Turkey itself.
Moreover, Constantinople is the mother that embraces all the geography of our heart that extends from the Balkans to the Caucasus, from the Crimea to northern Africa and central Asia.
They take instructions from Mount Qadil, from the branches of the terrorist organization in the big cities. While we receive instructions from God and from the people!!!"
It is a fact that although Erdogan actually has his success in the second round on his plate, he does not stop having to caress the ears of his far-right gray wolf partners.
In this context, it must show that Turkey is a superpower and has not changed anything in relation to its revision plans for the region before the earthquakes. That is why Abdulhamid Khan left for the port even for a day since the commitment of the region to which he is sailing expires tomorrow.
