France moves closer to building military base on Southern Cypriot land

Monday, September 09, 2013

Military cooperation between France and Southern Cyprus was decided on last week at a meeting in Nicosia between French Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie and South Cypriot leader Tasos Papadopoulos. A message asking permission to build a French military base on the island was reportedly delivered by the French minister of defense to Papadopouos from French President Jacques Chirac.

Details of the agreement between the two countries will be worked out in the coming month, with ministers and leaders from the two countries expected to sign a formal treaty sometime during September in Paris. Until now, Southern Cyprus has only ever had a military cooperation agreement with Greece.

Have you heard of Subic Bay?

Are you suggesting it is a right into perpetuity?

In other words, once given it becomes a property of the UK and a part of the UK in perpetuity?

Who would be so slavish to give away their land for ever?
