At a tangent to this thread, but Anais Nin wrote

Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.

It occured to me how substituting a couple of words, and the Cyprus dilemma might be described. Thus,

Insecurity is peace's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.

Raymanuva,
Google maps are a good start, with sovereign bases fairly clearly identifiable. Next we could establish the precise parameters of the UN zone, I suppose ?

Ask Kifeas He even has the co-ordinates and pictures of concrete bunkers with tanks in them....

A comment in another thread prompted this question :

Does anyone have a reliable map of Cyprus which has reliable and verifiable locations of military bases, installations, restricted zones etc ? Whether for thinking of cycle routes or property questions and anything in between it would be useful to know what is claimed to be 'off limits'.

In the occupied North whole regions are declared military zones. Some are huge maybe 5X5 Km. I have absolutely no idea how they look on map.

In the areas controlled by the Republic there are no such military areas. A military area is only the army camps themselves, size of about a high school area. The property on which they are built is always government land. Again for security reasons there are no maps available to the public.

about the British bases:Not all land inside the British bases is used for military purposes. i would say only 10%. Another say 3-5% is houses for british personnel. The rest might be whole villages inside the bases inhabited by GCs, who cultivate their lands etc.

Here's a link to the official website of the Akrotiri & Dhekelia Sovereign Base Areas; http://www.sba.mod.uk .

They actually have their own laws,which are derived from both Cypriot & British law.An appeal from the Sovereign Base Areas' courts can be taken to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (or 'Privy Council' for short) & then on to the House of Lords in London.
