Turkey issued a new Navtex, thus once again sending the research vessel “Oruc Reis” into the eastern Mediterranean, in order to conduct surveys for the creation of an underwater pipeline that will transport natural gas from Turkey to the pseudo-state.
The Navtex, numbered 0953/26, issued by the hydrographic station of Antalya, is valid until October 26 and includes areas south of Turkey up to the sea area north of Cyprus.
According to the directive, Oruc Reis will be accompanied by the vessels Denar Pathfinder, Denar Echo and Kirici.
According to Kathimerini, the project to create the underwater pipeline is expected to proceed relatively quickly after the completion of the surveys, since, as all indications show, the largest section of the pipeline to be laid between Turkey and the Occupied Territories is already constructed.
