 Ankara (AFP) Sept 30, 2008
 Turkey hopes to complete construction of an undersea water pipeline to northern Cyprus by June 2009 to help it battle droughts, Anatolia news agency reported Tuesday.

The project, which was launched in 2000 following a severe water shortage on the parched island, aims to pump 75 million cubic metres (2.65 billion cubic feet) into the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus every year.

Anatolia, citing sources in Turkey's hydraulic works authority, said the plan is to finish the 110-kilometre (70-mile) Mediterranean pipeline by June 14.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had said in July that the government wanted the project to be completed within three years.
