Introduction Dhekelia
Background:
By terms of the 1960 Treaty of Establishment that created the
independent Republic of Cyprus, the UK retained full sovereignty and
jurisdiction over two areas of almost 254 square kilometers in
total: Akrotiri and Dhekelia. The larger of these is the Dhekelia
Sovereign Base Area, which is also referred to as the Eastern
Sovereign Base Area.
