Turkey sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General regarding the NAVTEX issued by Nicosia for drilling in Block 5 of Cyprus' EEZ. The Turkish Cypriots express dissatisfaction, considering this action a violation of their rights to natural resources.

Finally, they warn that they will take measures to protect their rights.
