Cyprus. Abandoned houses along th Green Line in Nicosia dividing the Republic of Cyprus and Turkish controlled northern part. The United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus runs for more than 180.5?kilometres (112.2?mi) along what is known as the Green Line and has an area of 346?square kilometres (134?sq?mi). The zone partitions the island of Cyprus into a southern area effectively controlled by the government of the Republic of Cyprus (which is the de jure government for the entire island save for the British Sovereign Base Areas), and the northern area controlled by the Turkish army
