Interesting History | Cyrpus

Cyprus has a famously complex history and set of identities, but not everyone knows that some parts of Cyprus are still under British governance. The small areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia have been British Overseas Territories since Cyprus became independent in 1960. Cyprus has been asking for the return of these territories ever since, but so far Britain has resisted giving them back because of their strategic location. To maintain the situation, Britain forbids the permanent settlement of these areas by local residents.
