Cyprus convinced the EU leaders at the European Council on 23 October 2014 to condemn Turkey for violating its economic zone and sovereignty.

In a message delivered by the Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades - who was absent due to sudden illness - raised the issue of the incursions of a Turkish ship exploring for gas in the Cypriot economic zone, in an area where Cyprus had already issued companies licenses to drill.
