President Nicos Anastasiades, a Greek Cypriot, said that he's "distraught" that U.N. envoy Espen Barth Eide appears to be adopting the positions of the breakaway Turkish Cypriots. Anastasiades also criticized Eide for ignoring the "real threat" of Turkey's attempts to dispute Cyprus' right to explore its waters for oil and gas by sending its own ship to conduct seismic surveys off the island.
