We are of late increasingly comprehending that the Cypriot EEZ is not merely an economic factor, as most, even some of our own assume, and that in actual fact it’s a strategic tool for Cyprus, as far as its relations with other States are concerned.
Because the European Union in its entirety recognizes it, as does America and Russia, but also all the countries which were candidates,or would be candidates with their companies for the licensing rounds of the Cypriot marine plots.
Consequently, the formal recognition of the Cypriot EEZ from all these States, but from the United Nations as well, forces Turkey to a de facto overall recognition, and all the associated moves take place in this context.
In this manner, we can observe that the Cypriot EEZ has been established globally and it functions as a catalyst not only so that Cyprus may stand on its own feet, but so it can actively claim its liberation, and not to merely wait and rely passively upon events, intentions, and negotiations, without taking initiatives for her own future.
The strategy of Cyprus has been enhanced due to the energy, and that exists because of the sea.
The stigma of Hellenism appears again therefore, which actually utilizes the sea in order to change the land’s data.
Because the latter do not change by themselves.
If everyone in Cyprus was to comprehend how important the Cypriot EEZ was for her future, then they would’ve left aside much of everything else they are preoccupied with, assuming it a supposed added contribution, because all up they are simply details towards the Cypriot high strategy.
