British Cyprus/The Sovereign British Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia

The Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia are two UK-administered areas on the island of Cyprus that comprise the Sovereign Base Areas military bases of the United Kingdom. The bases were retained by the UK following the granting of independence and the eventual transition of Cyprus from a crown colony to an independent sovereign state. The United Kingdom demanded and succeeded in continuing to occupy a portion of Cyprus in the form of military bases because of the strategic location of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea in pursuit of UK interests.

The bases are split into Akrotiri / Ακρωτήρι / Agrotur, along with Episkopi Garrison, is part of an area known as the Western Sovereign Base Area or WSBA. Dhekelia / Δεκέλεια / Dikelya, along with Ayios Nikolaos, is part of the Eastern Sovereign Base Area or ESBA.

@matheona

Britain is not there to protect Cyprus, it’s there to protect Cyprus in order to protect its illegal bases.

[SuperNoZone]

@matheona

When will Britain realise that it is in its interests to work together with the Republic of Cyprus for the good of the Republic of Cyprus, However it seems Britain has achieved its goals and are happy with the situation, otherwise action would have been taken.

@matheona

So matheona....unfortunately you are living in wishful thinking land. Britain will always sit on the fence, until its bases are in jeopardy.

@fairman3456

The Cypriots are not stupid and are highly educated, so your misinformed remarks show your unfortunate ignorance. They know what is really going on.

[SuperNoZone]

@fairman3456

What you don't understand is that the Republic of Cyprus has been supporting the operational readiness and use of the bases. They have kept their end of the bargain. The USA have designated areas within the bases for their exclusive use.

Britain as guarantor had an obligation to return Cyprus to the initial state of affairs of independence. It did not. It only warned off Turkey when the retained areas were threatened by Turkey.

@fairman3456

Unfortunately fairman ( a very anept nickname as should be unfairman), you are deeply misinformed

The Bases in Cyprus are 'retained' colonial territories that as certain Lords and Top barristers realise is illegal under international law. So your pompous remarks are exactly that..... Pompus.
