Protest In Cyprus
An abandoned house that is being used as a defensive point during the 1974 war is seen near Ledra Palace checkpoint in Nicosia, Cyprus, on July 20, 2024. The Green Line (or buffer zone) is separating the island since 1963, as an initial measure to prevent hostilities between Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots, but since the Turkish invasion in 1974, it is working as a de facto border between the Republic of Cyprus and the self-declared ''Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus,'' which only Turkey is recognizing as a legitimate state.
