Cyprus should be temporarily left to the British. The persistence proved
53
useful for British deep state and on June 4, 1878, before the Treaty of Berlin

was signed, the Cyprus Convention was signed between the British and the
Ottomans. According to the agreement, Great Britain would occupy the is-

land and control it on behalf of the Sultan. Revenues -after the costs incurred
by the British were deducted- would be annually sent to

the Ottoman treasury, while the Ottoman authori-
ties would continue to be in charge of justice, re-

ligion and educational institutes. This agree-
ment allowed Britain to obtain the control of

the island, which could be compared to a
battleship in its quest to secure the Suez

Canal and the vital route to India.

This document shows how Abdul
Hamid II, under pressure from the
British deep state, left Cyprus to
British rule.
