According to the Antalya station, the first exercise will take place between 8-22 September west of Cyprus and the second between 17-25 September in the east.
With the two Navtex, the Russian naval forces are called upon to exercise caution as the "Oruc Reis" and "Barmapros" are conducting investigations in these areas.

Two men were fined €8,500 each after caught fishing illegally in the Akamas area.
According to the fisheries department, a patrol boat caught two people off Akamas on August 22 fishing with spear guns in combination with diving equipment.
All fishing gear and the fish they caught were seized by authorities.
These sort of violations are serious because they are environmentally destructive practices, the department said. Fishing with spear guns using diving equipment is among the destructive practices that also include using explosives or dangerous substances to catch fish.
The two fishermen were each given an €8,500 out-of-court fine.

Planning permission for the construction of a mixed tourist development named “Salt Lake Resort & Spa” in Dromolaxia-Meneou area, Larnaca district, has been denied because of serious environmental concerns.
Vegetable Producers & Exporters Limited were the ones who submitted the grand project’s application, Philenews reported on Thursday.
The total area of the proposed project to be was about 100,000 square metres and included a total of 46 luxury homes and a 5-star hotel unit with a capacity of 594 beds.
It would have been adjacent to the western boundary of the southern part of the Larnaca Salt Lake.
The Environmental Authority prepared a report of the Ecological Evaluation Study for the project in mid-July.
This report briefly states that the effects of the construction and operation of the proposed development will have:
— Significant adverse irreversible effects on Lake Soro its structure and operation.
— The conservation objectives of the protected area.
— The coherence, structure, and operation of the habitats of the Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and the species and habitats of the Special Protection Area (SPA) of the Larnaca Salt Lake.
The “Larnaca Salt Lake” protected area has been defined as a SAC due to the presence of important types of habitats included in Annex I to the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC.
The Salt Lake area is a complex of habitats and consists of four main lakes:
— The Salt Lake (Big Lake)
— The Airport Lake (Little Lake)
— Lake Orfani
— Lake Soros
These used to be a large lake which was fragmented due to infrastructure – for the construction of the airport, roads and agriculture.
These lakes are unique in their kind for Cyprus, so taking this into account alongside the report of the Ecological Evaluation Study, the position of the Environmental Authority is that this project cannot go forward.

It’s now September and the month for the Conservative government to finally get serious about securing a trade deal with the European Union.
In June, Boris Johnson claimed there was no reason a deal couldn’t be agreed by the end of July. Yet, despite the prime minister calling for “a tiger in the tank”, negotiators report tortoise-like progress.
At the general election last year, Johnson repeatedly told the country he possessed an “oven-ready deal” – but increasingly it looks like the government has forgotten to turn the oven on.
The government’s approach to EU negotiations and preparations has been infected with incompetence and carelessness, similar to what we have seen in other areas of government.
Important questions outnumber answers, and slogans have replaced solutions. After a summer of shambles, here are just some of the core questions the government must answer.
First – where are we on the most important trade deal to the UK? Four years ago, Michael Gove assured the country that outside the European Union “we would be part of a free trade zone that extends from Iceland to the Russian border”.
Yet, with 121 days to go, a deal with the EU has still not yet been agreed. The government has asked British businesses to “get ready”, but they still don’t know the tariffs or trade barriers they need to get ready for. It is a total farce.
Second, what about our post-Brexit infrastructure? Much of the border requirements for the government’s Brexit plans are not yet in place or ready for when the UK leaves the Single Market and Customs Union at 11pm on December 31, 2020.
Deal or no deal, Dover, Hull and other port cities and towns will require additional and necessary measures, potentially including new lorry parks to prevent transport bottlenecks and wider transport disruption.
In July, I visited one site in Ashford to see progress for myself. Construction had only just started and worryingly, these last-minute excavations have just hit a literal Saxon wall in recent days.
Other facilities have not yet been built or even located and the details of these remain unclear. The technology to manage Boris Johnson’s border down the Irish Sea only went out to tender last month and remains untested. The Tory government should have been preparing for this years ago.
Third, there’s the implications for the country of leaving without a deal. Those in government who insist that the prospect of the UK leaving without a trade deal is a vital negotiating strategy must be furious that the current implications could be so grave for our country.
Ten days ago, a leaked presentation from Gove’s own department showed “a reasonable worse-case scenario” of failing to strike a deal in time included the possibility of shortages of medicines, food and fuel, animal disease spreading, councils going bust and our social care sector plunged into chaos, shortages of electricity and the chemicals needed to purify drinking water, and air drops of food required for the Channel Islands.
It would be a spectacular failure for the entire Conservative government if they do not deliver the oven-ready deal with the EU they promised the British people.
That’s not a show of strength but a sign of incompetence and chaos. These warnings come directly from the department led by someone who said a Brexit deal would be easy.
It’s been four years and three prime ministers since the EU referendum, and the Conservatives are still, incredibly, not yet ready. The Cabinet appears in disarray with Liz Truss writing to Rishi Sunak and Michael Gove before the summer voicing her concerns.
We’ve heard precious little from the chancellor of the exchequer whose financial plans would be sent into a tailspin if the UK was reduced to trading with our neighbours on WTO terms with a currency worth less.
It would be the worst possible signal to investors and increase many everyday costs for people in our country, yet Sunak remains publicly silent.
Meanwhile businesses are left to make sense of it all. In recent months, Labour’s team of shadow ministers has regularly spoken with firms spanning many different sectors, including those employing many skilled and unionised jobs.
As a result of Covid-19 so many of them tell us they simply don’t have the same level of capacity to prepare for an exit without a negotiated deal compared to in 2019. Employers and trade unions tell us the priority must be securing a trade deal with the EU with zero tariffs and zero quotas.
This impact on business will ripple through to workers. People have gone through so much in 2020 and the government’s job should be to reduce the stress, not add to it. Last summer, Boris Johnson said “f*** business” when it came to Brexit negotiations.
His cabinet ministers have been equally rude about the country’s workforce with the current foreign secretary, home secretary and international trade secretary all having co-authored the notorious “Britannia Unchained” book, wrongly claiming British workers are “among the worst idlers in the world”.
We need a deal which reflects our country’s desire for high standards in employment, consumer, environmental and animal welfare rights in our future outside of the EU.
On top of all of these gaps – trade, infrastructure, preparedness, business and jobs – there’s a threat to stability without a negotiated deal. If the Conservatives failed to agree a deal with the EU it would also put the important Northern Ireland Protocol under pressure and show further contempt towards Scottish and Welsh parliaments.
Make UK has shown that manufacturing jobs in England’s most hard-pressed and held back regions could be badly hit from crashing out with no negotiated deal, badly damaging spending power and livelihoods in towns and local economies. Now more than ever, the UK must secure a trade deal and pull together as we fight the health and economic challenges of Covid-19.
It would be a spectacular failure for the entire Conservative government if they do not deliver the oven-ready deal with the EU they promised the British people.
Leaving without a negotiated deal wouldn’t end matters, but painfully postpone the most important trade deal the UK Government will sign. People should not have to pay the price for such political incompetence. Labour and the vast majority of people in our country want and expect the Government to deliver the deal that was promised. This is the month to make it happen.

Cyprus’ internet speed saw a 42 per cent increase within the last year, aligned with a global broadband speed rise.
The island ranked 89 out of 221 countries after tests in research designed and compiled by Cable.co.uk, and gathered by M-Lab, an open source project .Cyprus’ mean download speed was 15.62 Mbps, and it takes about 43 minutes to download a 5GB movie, the survey showed.
The country with the fastest internet connection is Liechtenstein with 229.98 Mbps and ability to download a 5GB movie in less than 3 minutes. Malta ranks 13th with 87.36Mbps and taking less than 8 minutes to download a 5G movie. Turkey holds the 117 place with 8.86Mbps and a more than one hour wait on the 5G movie download.
The slowest broadband speed holds South Sudan with 0.58Mbps, while users in the area have to wait 19 and a half hours for 5G movie to download.
Globally, the average download speed was 24.83Mbps, higher than that of Cyprus. But the average time taken to download a 5GB movie globally was more than 2 hours, about three times more than the amount it needs for people living in Cyprus to download the same movie.
This country’s annual increase is double the global percentage increase. Tracking broadband speed measurements across multiple 12-month periods showed about 20 per cent annual increase in the last four years globally, half of that of Cyprus. This year, a total of 577,488,512 tests were carried out in all countries compared with the 276 million tests in 207 countries which formed last year’s data set.
Cyprus average speed is rising fast- but needs more improvement.
Over the last decade, Cyprus’ average broadband speed increased significantly, to 15.62 Mbps from 11 Mbps in a survey from WebsiteToolTester published in the beginning of the year. In 2012 the average internet speed on the island was 2.77 Mbps which rose to 6.9 Mbps in the first quarter of 2017.
Despite the improvement, the country has yet to reach the European Union objectives for 2020. EU has set a target for the use of next generation networks (NGN), in other words internet connection of 100 Mbps or more, by 50 per cent of households by 2020, and all the households by 2025.
Moreover, the recent upgraded platform showed that the top 100 countries, which includes Cyprus, have increased their average broadband speed by 142.98 per cent. While the bottom 100 countries have increased their average broadband speed by 62.54 per cent.

The Cyprus Football Association (CFA) on Wednesday unveiled amendments to its health protocol for football games introduced in the light of the coronavirus outbreak.
All the amendments were decided after consultations with the government’s epidemiological team and the health ministry, it said.
Under the new rules, a match will be postponed if four players on the same team test positive for Covid-19 in a period of seven days.
Should a player test positive on the day of the match, the latter will only go ahead if all other players from both teams are negative.
Moreover, if a player or a member of the coaching staff is found positive, they will have to remain in isolation for 14 days and will only be allowed to return to train and play in official games after three negative tests with an interval of five days between each test.
Should a player or a member of a team’s coaching staff present symptoms typically associated with coronavirus, like fever, he is required to inform the medical staff immediately and undergo urgent examinations. Regardless if he is found positive, he will have to remain in isolation for five days. Only after five days and a negative test result, will he be allowed to return to play or work.
Teams with confirmed cases of coronavirus must test all their players within 24 hours. Players and staff found negative will be allowed to return to the pitch, but training will be held behind closed doors for at least seven days. After seven days, the entire club will undergo a second test.
In addition to that, the close contacts of an infected player or staff member will have to train or work separately from the rest of the team and all the team’s premises, such as the dressing rooms and the communal areas, will have to be disinfected.During match day, all close contacts of a positive case will have to present a negative test taken no longer than 24 hours before to the referee prior to the start of the game, in order to be allowed to play.
International referees returning to Cyprus after officiate games in countries in category C will not have to undergo 14 day isolation but must bring a negative test with them no older than 72 hours and will also be tested on arrival at the airport. They must restrict their movements and test again seven days after their return and show a negative result before officiating a local match.

Environmentalists and local authorities in Yeroskipou have expressed their dismay following the shock decision of the antiquities department to allow the construction of a new hotel on an ancient coastal site, where important remains were recently uncovered.
“This is the sort of move that makes people think that it may be time to change the constitution to protect the antiquities,” head of the Green party Charalampous Theopemptou told the Cyprus Mail on Wednesday.
The Greens announced that they were informed by local media of the antiquities department’s consent to construct a hotel unit on the land owned by the archdiocese in Pachyammos, Yeroskipou.
“This is a disgrace and the problem now is that as it is the government giving out the permits, it means that the hotel can proceed and town planning will be granted with no real objection,” said Theopemptou.
The MP added that he can ‘only imagine’, the pressure placed on the antiquities department to say ‘yes’, however, the only way to have stopped the hotel being constructed was for them to refuse permission.
Yeroskipou mayor Michalis Pavlides stressed that the site was of huge importance and should be preserved for generations to come.
“Surely it is better to protect these areas, we have no details about the church’s hotel project and nothing should be built here at all,” he said.
Four days ago, Pavlides sent a letter to the antiquities and land departments requesting they attend the next council meeting in Yeroskipou to explain the decision, he said.
“We have asked them to come, but have yet to receive a reply,” he said.
The Greens said that during excavations at the site, a sanctuary complex of the Hellenistic era was found, with tanks and hydraulic installations.
“These are pieces of our history of immense importance and priceless value,” they said.
They added the political parties and the government had refused to recover this public space by exchanging it for another piece of land elsewhere, as was recommended by the Greens. They added that it is now necessary for the state to explain how it will manage the, “disastrous development plans of the archbishop and to save and highlight this very important archaeological site”.
Andreas Evlavis of the Paphos Greens called on residents of the area to join forces to oppose any such construction at the site.
“Pafians needs to see the future and our rich history and culture, and not always just the present and money,” he said.
According to Evlavis, the antiquities department recently suggested moving the hotel by 10 metres, an idea he branded as ‘stupid.’
“There shouldn’t be a hotel or any other construction in this area at all. The government must find another place completely for this to be built, not in the same area.”
He added that as new finds are uncovered daily at the site, the church is pushing for construction to get underway before further discoveries make it ‘impossible’ for construction to go ahead.
“We are burying our history for the sake of ‘development’.”

Police are investigating a case of internet fraud after a woman was cheated out of €31,000.
The 34-year-old woman, a resident of Nicosia, reported to police she was deceived by a person she met via Twitter.
According to her statement, she was talking online to someone who said he was a ship’s captain called Petros in July.
The alleged captain said his ship had broken down due to a mechanical failure and asked her for money to buy spare parts for repairs.
He reportedly convinced her by supplying details of the company which was going to supply the parts.
She proceeded to make three transfers to foreign bank accounts with unknown beneficiaries, assuming the items would be bought.
After the last money transfer she tried to contact the so-called captain but his account had been deactivated, which prompted her to contact police.

Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, who is in intensive care in a Berlin hospital, was poisoned with a Soviet-style Novichok nerve agent in an attempt to murder him, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Wednesday.
She said Berlin now expected Moscow to explain itself and that Germany would consult its NATO allies about how to respond, raising the prospect of new Western sanctions on Russia, sending Russian asset prices tumbling.
Moscow has denied involvement in the incident and the Russian foreign ministry said Germany’s assertion was not backed by evidence, complaining about the way Germany had chosen to release information about Navalny.
“This is disturbing information about the attempted murder through poisoning against a leading Russian opposition figure,” Merkel told a news conference. “Alexei Navalny was the victim of an attack with a chemical nerve agent of the Novichok group.”
Novichok is the same substance that Britain said was used against a Russian double agent and his daughter in an attack in England in 2018. The deadly group of nerve agents was developed by the Soviet military in the 1970s and 1980s.
Navalny, 44, is an outspoken opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin and has specialised in high-impact investigations into official corruption. He was airlifted to Germany last month after collapsing on a domestic Russian flight after drinking a cup of tea that his allies said was poisoned.
The White House said the use of Novichok was “completely reprehensible,” with the U.S. National Security Council saying on Twitter that Washington would work with allies “to hold those in Russia accountable, wherever the evidence leads, and restrict funds for their malign activities.”
A U.S. government source familiar with U.S. intelligence reporting and analysis said the use of the Novichok family of nerve agents showed Putin was willing to be “bold” in targeting individuals he found threatening or irritating.
He described the attack as an assertion by the Russian leader that he is the boss and what he says goes.
The Kremlin, which has rejected any suggestion that it or the Russian state was involved, said it wanted a full exchange of information and that Germany and Russia should cooperate. But it added it was unable yet to give a proper statement about the German findings.
Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the foreign ministry, told state TV that the German move looked like another fact-free information campaign against Russia.
Russian authorities and doctors have said previously they could find no evidence Navalny was poisoned.
Russia is already under Western sanctions after its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine six years ago. Another standoff with European nations or the United States may further hurt its economy further.
Britain and France joined in condemning the use of Novichok, along with the European Union, which said those responsible must be brought to justice.
NAVALNY IN SERIOUS CONDITION
Berlin’s Charite hospital, which is treating Navalny, said he remained in a serious condition in an intensive care unit connected to an artificial lung ventilator even though some of his symptoms were receding.
It said it could not rule out long-term consequences from his poisoning and that it expected him to go through a long period of illness.
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius said in a tweet that the German government’s identification of the Novichok poison indicated Russian authorities were behind Navalny’s poisoning.
Allies of Navalny echoed Linkevicius’ view. Leonid Volkov, a Navalny aide, said on Twitter that the use of Novichok was like leaving Putin’s signature at the scene of the crime.
Ivan Zhdanov, another close Navalny ally, said on Twitter that Novichok could be administered only by Russia’s intelligence agencies.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas urged Russia to investigate Navalny’s poisoning now that clinical tests had shown he had been attacked with a chemical nerve agent.
“This makes it all the more urgent that those responsible in Russia be identified and held accountable,” Maas told reporters. “We condemn this attack in the strongest terms.”
Steffen Seibert, a German government spokesman, said earlier in an emailed statement that tests conducted at a German military laboratory had produced “unequivocal evidence” that Novichok had been used.
Britain says Russia used Novichok to poison former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the British city of Salisbury in 2018. Russia has repeatedly denied any involvement in the attack, which the Skripals survived. A member of the public, 44-year-old Dawn Sturgess, was killed.

Greece will require visitors from Russia to show a negative COVID-19 test before entering the country between September 7 and September 21, its civil aviation authority has said.
Under a new advisory, Russian citizens will need to have the test up to 72 hours before their arrival.
Greece also said late on Wednesday that only up to 500 people from Russia would be allowed to land at the airports of Athens, Thessaloniki and Heraklion per week during the period in question.
Health authorities reported 233 new COVID-19 infections in the past 24 hours on Wednesday, raising the total number to 10,757.
Another two people died of illness related to the novel coranavirus, with total fatalities reaching 273. (Reuters)
