  <genc:entryNotesOnTerritory><![CDATA[The entry for this geopolitical entity is assigned the GENC status of 'Exception' because GENC Standard considers the geopolitical entity named "CYPRUS" to specifically exclude the geospatial extent of both Akrotiri and Dhekelia, which are represented by distinct top-level entries in the GENC Standard. There is no entry for Akrotiri or Dhekelia in ISO 3166-1 or ISO 3166-2. It is not clear whether ISO 3166/MA considers the code elements for the entry named "UNITED KINGDOM" as covering the territories of Akrotiri and Dhekelia; however, neither Akrotiri nor Dhekelia appears in the ISO 3166-2 administrative subdivisions of the United Kingdom, so the presumption is that their territory is not included under that entry (see ISO 3166-2:2013, Clause 4.1.2 (on subdivision)). The two Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia together constitute the British Overseas Territory on Cyprus that was ceded to the United Kingdom in the 1960 Treaty of Establishment, in which the U.K. granted independence to the Crown Colony of Cyprus; the U.K., Cyprus, and Turkey were all signatories to that treaty. Note that British Overseas Territories are not considered part of the territory of the United Kingdom (see [http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/about-us/what-we-do/overseas-territories].) Apart from the Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus, all of the other British Overseas Territories have their own separate entries in ISO 3166-1 (and in the GENC Standard as well).]]></genc:entryNotesOnTerritory>
