Gas company "Nobel Energy began foraging in the Aphrodite zone of the Cypriot economic area," at the east of the island on September 19, says Cypriot daily Politis.

Quoted in the Turkish daily Zaman, the Turkish Minister of Energy warned that his country's navy could escort Turkish exploration ships that will also go to the contested zone to conduct competing foraging surveys.
