The British had a main interest in keeping the island under control because they didn't like the Cypriots, during before they became independent from British control, they faced resistance from EOKA, British soldiers were shot and burnt left and right, till it got under Hellenic control, but they knew, that if they supported a unity between Greece and Cyprus, then those bases, would most likely be gone, meaning they'd lose the bonus they had to the middle east, since the Cypriots hated the Britons, so, they took advantage of the U.N. situation and just to make sure they maintain dominion, they support you int he Attila in 1974. Didn't have to be just the Americans, they had mutual interests dummy, thus why it's not "Dropped" they kept what they wanted, military dominion and control over a small region of Cyprus while maintaining their bases and with the dumbass Turks on the other side a certain never to be found resolution.
