Abstract: | |||||
The thesis alms to examine British policy on the future status
of Cyprus in the late 1950s. It starts in April 1955 when Sir Anthony
Eden became Prime Minister and the EOKA (National Organisatlon of
Cypriot Fighters) started its campaign in the island. The thesis ends
In February 1959, when a Conference was held in London by Britain,
Greece, Turkey, the Greek and the Turkish Cypriots, which agreed to the
establishment of an independent Cypriot state. The thesis is primarily
concerned with the British policy regarding the diplomatic negotiations
on Cyprus. It does not aim to examine the security campaign which was
being executed in Cyprus at the same time. The security campaign is
touched upon, as far as it influenced the course of diplomatic
negotiations. The thesis also examines British Constitutional offers to
the Cypriots, but only to the extent that such offers influenced policy
on the future status of the island.
The policies of Greece, Turkey, the USA, NATO, and of the Greek
and Turkish Cypriot leaderships are examined to the extent that they
influenced British policy. The thesis therefore deals primarily with
the formulation of British thinking, as this evolved in the Cabinet,
the Foreign Office, the Colonial Office, the Chiefs of Staff, the
Cyprus (Colonial) Government and other Individuals concerned on the
British side.
