Friction over new British Sovereign Bases deal. The UK has entered into a new agreement with the Greek-Cypriot run Republic of Cyprus, relaxing planning restrictions on its Sovereign Bases at Akrotiri and Dhekelia. The bases, which cover 98 square miles, or 3% of the island, are home to some 10,000 Greek Cypriots. No consultation was made with the Turkish Cypriot side prior to this deal, which fails to mention land and properties formerly owned by Turkish Cypriots. TRNC Foreign Minister Özdil Nami said it was unacceptable and a disappointing development.
