    Agi: Akrotiri, l'ex colonia britannica ancora sotto Sua MaestàAGI - La sovrana area di Akrotiri a Cipro, su cui sorge la base britannica colpita nella notte da un drone iraniano, è insieme a Dhekelia l'ultimo brandello di quello che fu l'impero coloniale di Sua Maestà. Ufficialmente denominate 'Aree Base Sovrane di Akrotiri e Dhekelia', 250 chilometri di superficie in totale, sono l'unico territorio d'Oltremare della Corona. Anche se ufficialmente hanno un unico nome, le due aree sorgono in parti diverse dell'isola: Akrotiri a nord, vicino a Limassola, e Dhekelia a sudest, vicino a Larnaca e alla zona cuscinetto che divide la parte greca da quella turca.La Gran Bretagna, cui l'impero Ottomano aveva trasferito nel 1878 il controllo di Cipro, riuscì a conservare la sovranità sulle due zone strategiche, per la sua presenza nel Mediterraneo, grazie ai trattati di Zurigo e Londra con cui nel 1960 Cipro sancì la sua indipendenza. A firmarli furono non solo il Regno Unito e Cipro, ma anche Grecia, Turchia e il rappresentante della comunità turco-cipriota.Installazioni militari e compiti strategiciAkrotiri e Dhekelia ospitano entrambi importanti installazioni militari. Akrotiri è una base della Royal Air Force ed è centrale per le operazioni in Medio Oriente e nel Mediterraneo. Dhekelia ospita una guarnigione dell'esercito britannico e ha compiti chiave di spionaggio dei segnali, il cosiddetto Sigint, e di sorveglianza.Il territorio d'oltremare ha circa 18mila abitanti di cui 11mila ciprioti e il resto militari britannici, secondo gli ultimi dati poco più di 2.300, e loro familiari.Akrotiri, the former British colony still under Her Majesty.AGI - The sovereign area of Akrotiri in Cyprus, where the British base struck in the night by an Iranian drone is located, is together with Dhekelia the last fragment of what was the British Empire’s colonial territory. Officially named ‘Akrotiri and Dhekelia Sovereign Base Areas’, the 250 kilometers of surface are the only overseas territory of the Crown. Although officially they have a single name, the two areas are located in different parts of the island: Akrotiri to the north, near Limassola, and Dhekelia to the southeast, near Larnaca and the buffer zone that divides the Greek from the Turkish part.Great Britain, which had transferred control of Cyprus to the Ottoman Empire in 1878, was able to maintain sovereignty over the two strategic zones, for its presence in the Mediterranean, thanks to the treaties of Zurich and London, with which in 1960 Cyprus ratified its independence. Those who signed them were not only the United Kingdom and Cyprus, but also Greece, Turkey and the representative of the Turkish-Cypriot community.Military Installations and Strategic TasksAkrotiri and Dhekelia both host important military installations. Akrotiri is an Air Force base and is central to operations in the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Dhekelia hosts a British army garrison and has key tasks of signal intelligence, known as Sigint, and surveillance.The overseas territory has approximately 18,000 inhabitants, of which 11,000 are Cypriots and the rest are British military personnel, according to the latest figures of slightly more than 2,300, and their families.#Akrotiri #British #Iranian #Dhekelia #theBritishEmpire’s #DhekeliaSovereign #250kilometers #Crown #Limassola #Larnaca #Turkish #GreatBritain #theOttomanEmpire #Mediterranean #Zurich #London #theUnitedKingdom #Greece #Turkey #AirForce #theMiddleEast #Cypriots https://www.agi.it/estero/news/2026-03-02/akrotiri-ex-colonia-gb-ancora-sotto-sua-maesta-35894364/
