#4 The Med near Syria is a tight box of overlapping claims with Turkey, puppet North Cyprus, Cyprus, Syria, and Lebanon. Is part of Turkey's plays in Cyprus and N. Syria to leverage a bigger slice of the offshore pie?

#5 The Zohr field is pretty far south of Cyprus and also west of the Leviathon and Tamir fields that Israel is using.

Cyprus does have interest in a field a bit north of Zohr.
