Comparing the island to Iraq, Yildiz told a press conference ‘the same way we say oil extracted from Iraq belongs to Iraq, we say that any oil or natural gas extracted anywhere around Cyprus belongs to Cyprus,” according to World Bulletin.
The remarks came as negotiations to reunify the island have stalemated and as antagonism between the two sides continues to escalate.
