<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;The US traded warships to England in return for territory in the British <br/>

during WWII in exchange for ships.<br/>

<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I haven&#39;t seen any details as to exactly which areas would be relinquished, <br/>
but the UK Government has announced that it would amount to 35 square miles <br/>
in the Dhekelia SBA, and 10 square miles in the Akrotiti SBA (out of a <br/>
total of 99 sq. miles). This would be mostly farmland and villages - 10% of <br/>
which would be transferred to the Turkish zone, and the rest to the Greek <br/>
zone. However, the offer is only valid upon reunification of the island.<br/>
