Anton,

I don't see why not, although they may eventually become surplus to
requirements like those in Malta and to a lessor extent Gibraltar did. They
were legally created by the treaty that established the Republic of Cyprus
(see http://www.hri.org/docs/cyprus/cyprus-const.html), so as such have
nothing to do with the partition of the island.
