Telegraph: Interview with UK Deputy Minister of Defence on British bases in Cyprus

Under the title “Britain’s bases in Cyprus ‘not up for negotiation’’” and subtitled “Legal status of Akrotiri and Dhekelia ‘rock solid’”, the Sunday Telegraph published an interview by the Deputy Defence Secretary (responsible for the Armed Forces), Al Carns, to the BBC’s Brussels correspondent, Joe Barnes. In it, among other things, it is stated that the status of the British military bases in Cyprus is not up for negotiation, the Deputy Defence Secretary told The Telegraph newspaper. In his exclusive interview, Al Carns insisted that the transfer of sovereignty over Akrotiri and Dhekelia would be out of the question in the upcoming crucial negotiations with the Cypriot Government. “We must be absolutely clear on this issue: the legal status of the sovereign base areas is absolutely solid,” he said.
