Italy to Turkey: Legal Solution to Dispute Expected

Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano on Tuesday met with Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu and told him that he wanted a solution to the standoff preventing Italy's Eni from exploring for natural gas off the coast of Cyprus. The two, who are both attending an anti-Islamic State coalition meeting in Kuwait, agreed both countries should maintain a relationship of trust because of "possible further projects in the energy sector, beyond those that already exist", a statement from Italy's foreign ministry said.
