Protest In Cyprus
A UN outpost is being seen inside the buffer zone 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 recognizes as a legitimate state.
