During this visit, PM Modi also reached the place with President Nicos from where the border of Turki and Cyprus is adjacent. When the PM stood with the President at the center of Cyprus’s capital Nikoshia, a flag in his background was waving the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). This is the area that the Turkas forcibly captured in the year 1974 and the international community still does not recognize it. There is a green line buffer zone in the middle of this place, where PM Modi has reached. Let us know what this green line buffer zone is and why it is so special.

What is buffer zone

The Cyprus Green Line Buffer Zone is also known as the United Nations Buffer Zone. It is a separate region on the island of Cyprus. This place separates northern and southern Cyprus. The region was built after the 1974 Turki invasion. It was controlled by the United Nations Peace Army. It is 180 km long and some meters wide in some areas. At the same time, it is a few kilometers wide in some areas. The buffer zone was established as a separate region between the two regions.

This place is banned for common people

The buffer zone is not for the general public. This is banned for the general public and no one is allowed to go there. Here only the United Nations personnel and the special permission received are allowed to go. There is Abandand house, cars and even an airport at this place, which is not operational since the 1974 struggle. The buffer zone plays an important role in maintaining peace and security in Cyprus.
