NICOSIA – Cyprus will persist in conducting dolphin research despite Turkey having sent in a warship to harass a vessel, Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment Minister Nicos Kouyialis said.

He added that the research is being conducted by the Fisheries and Marine Research Department in the island’s maritime area as part of requirements as a member of the European Union – which Turkey wants to join although it won’t recognize Cyprus and bars its ships and planes.
