Editing Politics of Cyprus (section)

==Exclaves and enclaves==
Cyprus has four [[exclave]]s, all in territory that belongs to the [[Akrotiri and Dhekelia|British Sovereign Base Area of Dhekelia]]. The first two are the villages of [[Ormidhia]] and [[Xylotymvou]]. Additionally there is the Dhekelia Power Station, which is divided by a British road into two parts. The northern part is an enclave, like the two villages, whereas the southern part is located by the sea and therefore not an enclave &mdash;although it has no territorial waters of its own.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://geosite.jankrogh.com/cyprus.htm |title=Cyprus |access-date=2006-06-15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060629051443/http://geosite.jankrogh.com/cyprus.htm |archive-date=2006-06-29 }}</ref>

The UN buffer zone separating the territory controlled by the Turkish Cypriot administration from the rest of Cyprus runs up against Dhekelia and picks up again from its east side, off of [[Ayios Nikolaos, SBA|Ayios Nikolaos]] (connected to the rest of Dhekelia by a thin land corridor). In that sense, the buffer zone turns the south-east corner of the island, the [[Paralimni]] area, into a ''de facto'', though not ''[[de jure]]'', exclave.
