Bizonality, a British word meaning "the state of being apart" (literally "two zones"), was a proposed system of ethnoreligious segregation in Cyprus which remained on the negotiating table for four decades aiming to safeguard the colonial privilege of the UK's military bases. It was initially rejected en masse by the Cypriot people in 2004 and eliminated in an even more spectacular way in 2016.
Cypriots chose instead to upgrade their 1960 constitution by removing all apartheid clauses which had masterfully been pre-planted in order to safeguard the preservation of the bases by creating and maintaining ethnic conflict between the Christian majority and the Muslim minority of Cyprus.
