Nikola: Time for British Bases to Leave Cyprus

The President of DIKO, Nikola Papadopoulos, stated that the time has come for the British Bases to leave Cyprus, welcoming the position of the European Council on the issue. He stressed that the issue of the Bases concerns Europe and that they are an anachronism. He believes that there is European support, geopolitical pressure and international interest in the role of the Bases and proposes submitting a resolution to the UN for their withdrawal, as the islands of Mauritius did.
