Erm.. mine was just a paste in from the House of Commons website - sorry if it seemed like a threat.

If Christofias wants the SBAs gone - why did he sign the MoU a couple of years ago ensuring they stay?

its all a part of misinformation on a grand scale by the British foreign service and the US State De[partment, their minions that travel around the world are taught to spew nonsense in order to satisfy Turkey. They are also taught to cookie cut everything hence the comparison to Kosovo.

From House of Commons Select Committee:

From the UN perspective there is no military solution to the Cyprus problem. If a political settlement is agreed, a new UN mandate will be needed. UN troop levels will need to be significantly increased to assist with the implementation. In those circumstances the UN troops might have responsibility for patrolling not just a narrow buffer zone but the whole island. Their role would include providing assurance to both communities, liaison, and extra monitoring and verification work. UK forces might also need to be increased as part of this package. This will pose a challenge for the MoD

That would never happen.
