British Make Concession on Cyprus Bases
Britain has conditionally offered to reduce by about 20
percent the two military base areas in Cyprus over which it
will retain sovereignty. This will decrease the number of
Cypriot villagers within.. base Areas, from about 4, 400 to less
than 1,000. The British, however, require a satisfactory
agreement on other rights specified in the London Agreements
of February 1959, including control of other small sites, use
of roads, ports, Nicosia airfield, and public utilities, and
permission to use certain other areas for troop training. The
base proposal was offered on 6 November to the joint com-
mittee in London, composed, of Greek, Turkish, Cypriot, and
British representatives
The agreement reached on the constitution for Cyprus on
10 November by a commission in Nicosia ends a three-month
deadlock on executive powers and leaves the base question the
only major issue to be resolved before independence. Britain's
..proposed concession is expected to create a favorable atmos-
phere for final agreement before the scheduled independence
date on 19 February 1960, since Cypriot objections to earlier
British proposals had centered on the large number of Cypriots
included within the military areas.)
