Thanks for your comment. It's a little confusing to me as it is referred to as both a border and a checkpoint in different media releases issued by the UN for example. Not to mention the terms border and checkpoint aren't mutually exclusive, you can have a border checkpoint as well. I suppose at the end of the day the semantics may depend on ones opinion on the situation in Cyprus?
It is a border bc it's technically two different countries. It being secured by the UN doesn't have to do with it not being a border. The UN is there bc of the wars that happened in the past
@@hazalcakmak3597 There are binding United Nations Security Council resolutions (541 and 550) they state that the UDI was legally invalid and requested that no other sovereign state should recognise the declaration and asked for its withdrawal. Yes, the UN observe the ceasefire and ensure the fire doesn’t restart - It’s a ceasefire, the war technically never ended, and a political resolution must be sought to end the war, that has been in a perpetual state of ceasefire.
There is no Turkish Nicosia but occupied one and the Turkish Cypriots now are outnumbered by the Turks who came from Turkey. And there is no 'border' but a dividing line between the free and the occupied part.
There are two different nations and countries in Cyprus with different languages, races and diferent religions. So it is not a divided country. It is an island with two countries. Like Haiti and Dominican Republic.
Yes 100%, at the very least functionally it is operating like two different countries even if it's not recognised as such by most of the international community. It does seem a bit complex to me though because at least from what I read it was stated that most Cypriots want it be unified and feel there just needs to be a solution that's agreeable to both sides. However I was just a tourist who was only there for 2 weeks; so I feel like I cannot and should not have a fully formed opinion based on such a brief visit. I would love to hear from Cypriots as to their perspectives.
The north part of Cyprus, is occupied by Turkey since 1974 MILITARY OCCUPATION The majority of all those are still our stolen lands and properties PLEASE We expect from you people to RESPECT that
@@Κώστας-τ9μ you wanted to occupy Cyprus on 15 July 1974 by declaring it a hellenic republic as the first step to enosis and began to kill all the Turks on the island, then Turkey came as a guarantor and libarated the Turks of the island from a full genocide. There is nothing to be respected about Greeks. You are not different from the Serbians in the Bosnian war.
turkey invade and kick out of they are houses 200.000 greek cypriots and occupied the half of the island and keep here 40.000 army . always was one and only regognised country . anything else is just a propaganda.
Greek Cypriots weren't exercising the law so turkey had to step in to enforce it. That's how the current situation came to be. There are many instances around the world where borders are agreed upon as long as long as agreeing parties uphold the law and human rights. Greek Cypriots violated this and so turkey had to intervene and implement a hard border. It would still be one entity if Greek Cypriots hadn't broken previously agreed terms.
Fallacious argument. Turkeys responsibility is to ensure the territorial integrity, sovereignty and constitutional order of the Republic of Cyprus. Turkey invaded twice, ethnically cleansed and transferred its own population Turkish settler colonialists who now out number the Turkish Cypriot Community.
For Turks law= massacre, torture, displacement, rape, seizure of properties, settler colonialism. Your people have been the same from the Middle Ages until today. Never changed.
Occupied Nicosia*
It's not a border. It is a checkpoint, as you are crossing ceasefire lines with a UN buffer zone in the middle.
