"A demilitarised Cyprus with UK bases and Turkish guarantees
By Andreas Theophanous
A DEMILITARISED Cyprus within the framework of a solution to the Cyprus problem has been a consistent objective of the Greek Cypriot leadership. This position is also strongly advocated by President Demetris Christofias. A closer consideration of this approach reveals that the prospect does not fully serve the interests of Cyprus. In this regard it should also be noted that another major pillar – once regarded sacred – had been a non-aligned Cyprus. That, in the end, proved not to be in the best interests of Cyprus and has been (partly) reversed by the accession of the Republic of Cyprus to EU."
