Greece, yes. And nobody recognizes “North Cyprus”, other than the Turks.
well, since the Brits have a base on the southern end of Cyprus with 3000 troops stationed, I would guess you strategists would expect Russia to build its conjectured “military base” in the Turkish enclave
Like this all fits together
all Russia has wanted from Cyprus is a “safe” place for the new money (old KGB and mafia) to park its money. I doubt the conjecture the Russians are manuevering the EU/Germans into changing the terms of their offshore banking arrangement. If Putin knew this was coming, the Russian money in Cyprus banks would have been gone last week
