	Akrotiri and Dhekelia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Akrotiri and Dhekelia are two areas on the island of Cyprus that comprise the Sovereign Base Areas Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom.
		The importance of the Bases to the British is based on the strategic location of Cyprus, at the eastern edge of the Mediterranean, close to the Suez Canal and the Middle East; the ability to use the RAF base as staging post for military aircraft; and for general training purposes.
		The villages of Xylotymvou and Ormidhia, in the Republic of Cyprus, are enclaves surrounded by Dhekelia SBA.

	Sovereign Base Areas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The UK Sovereign Base Areas are those British military base areas located in countries formerly ruled by the United Kingdom which were retained by it and not handed over when those countries attained independence.
		There is certain disorientation when entering the military parts of a sovereign base area (unlike Guantanamo Bay, there are roads running through the territory and even through the military camps themselves, which are open to traffic from Cyprus).
		The Sovereign Bases in Cyprus are an overseas territory, but instead of having a Governor, like other such territories, it has an Administrator, who, while appointed by the Queen, is responsible to the Ministry of Defence, not to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

		The British Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia comprise those parts of Cyprus which stayed under British jurisdiction and remained British sovereign territory when the 1960 Treaty of Establishment created the independent Republic of Cyprus.
		Because they are run as military bases, the Sovereign Base Area Administration (SBAA) reports to the British Ministry of Defence in London rather than the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
		The administration of the Bases is driven by three main policy objectives: effective use as a military base; full co-operation with the Republic of Cyprus; and protection of those resident or working in the Bases.

	Ramsar mission to Akrotiri salt lake, Cyprus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		In this way, the Ramsar Bureau was able to obtain a first-hand impression of the view of the most important stakeholders concerned by the Akrotiri case: the UK Sovereign Base Administration Authority, the Cyprus Government and Parliament, the Akrotiri Municipality, different individuals, and NGOs.
		The commitment of the UK Government to extend its application of the Ramsar Convention to the Sovereign Base Areas and to designate the Akrotiri wetland as a Wetland of International Importance, as notified in the joint statement with the Republic of Cyprus in August 2001, has to be applauded.
		However, given the transboundary situation of the Akrotiri wetland catchment (the upper part lying in the Republic of Cyprus), the legal situation regarding the Akrotiri wetland complex may not be as safe.
