In a press conference, Rasmussen called on all sides in Cyprus to advance, find a solution and unite the island. There are many things that remained at risk on economic aspects, and parties will be better off by reuniting, Rasmussen added.
After solving the Cyprus problem, oil and natural gas drilling can be initiated, and beyond these political obstacles before NATO-EU relations will be removed, he said.
Regarding the Israeli warplane’s attack in Syria, Rasmussen said that no military activity was seen within the radius of Patriot systems that are installed in Turkey.
