"It is without a doubt that Turkey will not allow any activity in the area in question and will resolutely continue to defend its legitimate rights and interests as well as those of the Turkish Cypriots in the eastern Mediterranean," said the statement.
"Shaki kuma jiro in Turkigu uusan marnaba ogolaan doonin in dhaq-dhaqaaq laga sameeyo aagaas, waxaana uu difaaci doonaa xaqa sharciga ah iyo danihiisa bariga Mediterranean-ka," ayaa lagu yiri warka kasoo baxay wasaaradda arrimaha dibadda Turkiga.
