THE controversial Turkish survey vessel Barbaros is to conduct research again off the coast of Cyprus soon, an official in Ankara said on Friday.
The head of Turkey’s national petroleum company, Besim Şişman, told Anadolu press agency that the Barbaros will conduct important seismic research off the coast of Cyprus in the upcoming period.
He added that upon the completion of explorations, the company could drill off the coast of Cyprus. As such investments are expensive, he said, they are waiting for the oil prices to be corrected before they proceed with such a procedure.
