      What are we gonna do with an airbase, and a cricket field?!?! Cypriots don’t know what cricket is firstly, and secondly, an extra airbase to launch what? Sheftalia?

      When the EU steps up and can man those babes fully absolutely, until then NO

      Best approach is to get the British out and convince USA that Cyprus is a better location for their base instead of Turkey.

      Do you have any reasons or are we just raw dogging appeals to emotion rather than engaging with reality now

      If nothing else, can we at least get some land back? Why do they need so much area?

      Ναι θα κάνουν ακριβώς αυτό επειδή ως γνωστό οι Κύπριοι παραδοσιακά είμαστε σαΐνια στην εξωτερική πολιτική

      What is the point? Cyprus does not have an air force (fighter jets etc.), has a tiny navy and modest air defense. Akrotiri is a least some sort of deterrent compared to having nothing…

      Let’s concentrate on Turkey’s occupation first. All these posts do not benefit anyone except the far right, the far left, populists, and Russian/Iranian interests.

      The stark truth is that if Britain had not taken administration (with everything that came with it, including the reorganisation of the island into a modern society), we would probably today be part of Turkey (like the Kurds). In the best-case scenario, economically and socially we would resemble the occupied areas as they are now, with even fewer rights (no access to the EU). In the worst-case scenario, it could be similar to what Palestine is today.

      The bases were agreed and signed by Makarios and Kucuk. If there had not been a Cyprus problem, we would likely have been able to renegotiate their status years ago.

      ok lets just say Brits decide to return the bases. Akrotiri obviously will be returned to ROC but what happens with Dekelia/Ayios Nikolaos? Do you think the Turks are gonna let them that easily ? Unfortunately bases is some sort of safety against Turks especially Dekelia and the Brits deciding to leave this can lead to a new conflict

      Half of Britain was more than happy to flush it’s future down the toilet as a grotesque delusional exercise of going back to the good ole days; they would fight harder than they fought in the blitz to keep those bases.

      6% of our land is still under colonial occupation.

      Only 36% of the shoreline belongs to the ROC

      Yeah it’s like telling Americans to return Alaska back to Russia. I know they bought it and it’s completely different situation, but strategically it’s as important. It’s never ever going to happen no matter what we say or do. It’s one of the most precious strategically important pieces of land the UK has.

      Our president said that if it were different times , we would submit an application to join NATO. Make that what you will. We are not the brightest people.

      We won’t make good use of that area. Britain uses it to attack Turkey’s allies , such as Iran, Palestine, Lebanon , Yemen. And we remain on the good books of the Western world. It is significantly better for Cypriots to keep the Uk bases.

      Never going to happen. Ask the Spanish how long they’ve been asking for Gibraltar back

    18. JohnFermwr on

      Ain’t never going to happen. Both parties are happy with the relationship. There are lots of SBA’s on the island, some respected by the Turkish invasion in 74. Too much happening there to give it up.
