U.S. NAVY USES CYPRUS AS BASE


MOSCOW [MENL] -- The United States has expanded its use of Cyprus as a base for operations in both the Mediterranean and Black seas.

Russian officials said the U.S. Sixth Fleet has increased its presence in Cyprus and has employed the island as a base for naval operations, intelligence and reconnaissance. They said the fleet has deployed surface and underwater vessels as well as maritime patrol aircraft in Cyprus in reconnaissance missions for both the United States and NATO.

The expanded U.S. deployment in Cyprus began in mid-2004 and was expected to increase in 2005, the officials said. They said the U.S. Sixth Fleet and other military commands have obtained permission from Britain to use its bases on the island to help monitor countries believed to be supporting Al Qaida-aligned groups or exporting weapons of mass destruction. The United States has sought to recruit NATO and other allies to intercept WMD exports in a program termed the Proliferation Security Initiative. PSI held an exercise off the coast of Japan, near North Korea, in October 2004.

The expanded U.S. military presence in Cyprus has prompted U.S. missions in and over the Black Sea, which borders Russia. In November 2004, a U.S. Navy P-3C Orion left its base in Cyprus and conducted a reconnaissance mission along the Russian border.

U.S. WARNS OF ATTACK IN CYPRUS


NICOSIA [MENL] -- The United States has warned of a Greek insurgency attack against the American military presence in the Republic of Cyprus.

Cypriot officials said the United States has relayed a warning to Greek Cypriot authorities of an impending strike on a U.S. military facility in Nicosia. The facility has been used as a listening post by the National Security Agency, a major element in the U.S. intelligence community.

Greek Cypriot Public Order Minister Doros Theodorou said the U.S. embassy relayed the alert of an attack on Jan. 8. Theodorou said the target of a Greek insurgency attack was the U.S. listening post.

In an interview with the Cyprus Broadcasting Corp. on Thursday, the minister said the United States has identified a Greek national as the likely attacker. He said the Greek was believed to be a supporter of the November 17 insurgency group, which Athens was said to have dismantled in 2004.

Dear Insan,
Please sit back and think. What you have posted above, are news. They are the ongoing reality/secret, that is known by all parties involved. The difference of then and now, is that now the message is out. There is no room for un-supervised Turkish military in Cyprus or in the mainland Turkey, to be more precise.
The Annan plan, Turkey's reforms in the political/military structure, turkey's incorporation into the EU/West "Umbrella", are all part of a bigger plan to contain and control the power of the Turkish military "monster", initially created by the west, to block the extension/expansion of the soviets to the south and closer to the Meddle East oil depots.
The soviet danger is different, now. Turkey cannot be of much use, as other countries, north of Turkey, joint the “alliance”. The Turkish establishments and the military might, behind it, feel insecure, as they have lost some of their geopolitical leverage. Only their Cyprus “tramp” is left, and that is soon falling. Desperate attempts of befriending with the old "Russian Bear", as a means of resisting the pressure for "reforms" exerted from the West, are not going to work this time.
No trade with Russia can relieve the Turkish establishment from the burden imposed by the enormous Turkish foreign debt and their dependency on new IMF/World Bank loans or EU financial assistance.
This is Turkey's last chance for maintaining their size and name. An new economic collapse in Turkey, followed by defaulted loan payments and un-controlled inflation and corruption, will result in a new partition of the last remnants of the "Ottoman Empire". The rules were laid out for Turkey and the only road is a monorail; they continue westward on the rail, or they are derailed. The Eastward direction is already blocked (Iraq and the Kurds for starters). The north direction (Putin) is out of the question, is not a realistic one, granted the generals connection with Chechnya.
The Turkish general's attempt to exploit their Pakistani connections for some form of "nuclear capability", even in the primitive form of power plan, did not succeed. Export of military and electronic technology to Turkey has been restricted. Openings to such avenues through Israel or China, have been closely supervised and regulated. China and Israel have more to gain from their relation with the US, than with Turkey.
The Generals experimented, allowing the AKP/'Islamic" party to rise to power, hoping for a nenative reaction from the West, a reaction that would given the excuse to take full control of the country, once again, with the blessings of the west. Their experiment failed. Turkey on the monorail is to stay on course.

Insan,
I don't think Papadopoulos is the one who is crying. He has offerred the bases to the US, right before the Iraqi war.

Who is crying then?

Pantelis,

As an anti Anglo-American, Papadopulos has offered the bases to the US and Christofias just watched in silence? Or sovereign Brits are free to offer the bases whomever they want?

I think not only T-Pap is crying but Christofias too, if he has not changed his political ideology and become an ally of capitalism, of course.

[insan]

The fact is that, my friend Pantelis; South of Cyprus re-colonized by Anglo-Americans and Europeans with the help of "big boys" of South. According to the plan whole Cyprus would have been colonized and Turkey and "big boys" of North too would have got their shares. But some anti-Turk and anti-islam factions in Cyprus(T-Pap and his team) and in EU(Christian Democrats) don't want TCs and Turkey to get their shares or be a part of this colonization because they are Turks or Turk descendants and moreover muslims. According to them: Turks and muslims have no place in this alliance and colonization. Shortly, this is the whole story my friend.

Don't you just love conspiracy theories?

[insan]

mikkie, I'd like to believe that it's just a conspiracy theory but all of the facts, events and developments concerning this issue, strongly verify what I put forward is true.
