Diko Leader Calls for UN Resolution to End British Bases

The President of Diko, Nikola Papadopoulos, has sent a letter to the President of the Republic, calling for a UN resolution to end the British Bases in Cyprus, as happened with the islands of Mauritius. Mr. Papadopoulos emphasizes that the recent position of the European Council to support Cyprus in talks with Britain on the status of the Bases recognizes that the issue concerns all of Europe. He also points out pending issues concerning the rights of residents of the Bases, the application of the European Acquis, and the issuance of permits by Cypriot authorities. He believes that the international situation is favorable for such a request, as there is a questioning of the role of the Bases in the region and colonialism is over.
