'''The Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia''' are two '''UK administered''' areas on the island of [[Cyprus]] that comprise the [[Sovereign Base Areas]] [[British overseas territories|military bases]] of the [[United Kingdom]]. The bases were retained by the UK following the [[EOKA]] struggle of the Cypriot people and the eventual Cyprus' transition from a [[colony]] in the [[British Empire]] to an independent [[Commonwealth republic]] within the [[Commonwealth of Nations]]. The United Kingdom retained the bases because of the strategic location of Cyprus in the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. |
|||
}} |
|||
The bases are split into Akrotiri ({{lang-el|Ακρωτήρι}}; {{lang-tr|Agrotur}}, along with Episkopi Garrison, is part of an area known as the Western Sovereign Base Area or WSBA) and Dhekelia (Greek: Δεκέλεια; Turkish: Dikelya, along with [[Ayios Nikolaos (Cyprus)|Ayios Nikolaos]], is part of the Eastern Sovereign Base Area or ESBA). |
