Famagusta Gazette: Cooperation between Cyprus, Greece and Israel could promote stability in the region, says Greek Energy Minister

Greek Energy Minister Yiannis Maniatis has expressed his conviction that cooperation between Cyprus, Greece and Israel in energy and environmental issues, could promote stability in the region.

In an interview with CNA, on the occasion of the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the three countries, Maniatis pointed out that energy sector is undoubtedly a key area of cooperation between the states in Europe and elsewhere, noting also the importance the issue has in all EU Councils.

The Greek Minister also said that the developments regarding the natural gas reserves in Cyprus and Israel, and hopefully in Greece in the near future, constitute a positive progress for the whole of Europe and for Greece and Cyprus in particular as EU member states.  MORE
