As tensions rise in the Middle East, the role of Iran in the region’s political balance becomes ever more significant. STEVE BISHOP assesses the current situation
The United Democratic Youth Organisation (EDON), together with hundreds of young people who gathered on January 28 2024, outside the British Bases at the top of Troodos mountain, reiterate their demand for an immediate end to the presence of the British bases in Cyprus.
The presence of the British military bases in our country is an affront to the sovereign rights of the Republic of Cyprus. The British bases in Cyprus undermine the self-determination of the Cypriot people, as well as the Republic of Cyprus itself. They are an obsolete remnant of colonialism and, especially after the invasion and occupation, they are a second open wound in our land. They are a danger to peace and security in our region and bring suffering to both the Cypriot and our neighbouring peoples.
We denounce the illegal presence of US troops and army in our country through the British military base of Akrotiri.
