Proposal for a Technical Committee Regarding British Bases in Cyprus
March 24, 2026
Nicosia is initiating a process for the eventual removal of British Bases in Cyprus by proposing the establishment of a technical committee with the UK. The long-term goal is the complete withdrawal of these Bases, which are seen as a colonial remnant. The British government appears open to dialogue, although they assert that the Bases provide protection for Cyprus. There are concerns within the government about the timing of this move, especially since the Cyprus issue remains unresolved.
