"Block I, where SOCAR will operate, is located on Israel's maritime borders with Lebanon and Cyprus, while Turkey does not recognize the boundaries of economic waters as established by international law. Rather, Ankara is the only country that recognizes the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC) and therefore believes that it deserves economic waters. With the expansion of Azerbaijani SOCAR's activities in the region, it is very difficult to see a situation in which the Turks would express opposition and try to thwart the move," according to the Israeli financial newspaper Globes.
