Business Insider USA member of the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus looks at a map of the buffer zone between the internationally recognized Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, recognized only by Ankara, in the divided capital Nicosia on April 26, 2021.The buffer zone was hastily evacuated during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.Read on for a visual tour of the zone that's effectively been frozen in time.
For the past five decades, Cyprus has remained divided between the southern Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which has only been recognised by Turkey. The rest of the international community considers Northern Cyprus to be a Turkish-occupied territory, and the Turkish Land Forces maintains a large force on the island.
The dividing line is the United Nations Buffer Zone, which cuts straight through the capital Nicosia and across the rest of the island. Ranging from 11 feet at its narrowest to 4.6 miles at its widest, the zone was hastily evacuated during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. It has remained uninhabited, effectively frozen in time.The Nicosia International Airport was contained within the zone and has since gone largely unused.A cafe within the airport stands abandoned.Neil Hall/REUTERSBillboards and signs throughout the zone still display ads for products from over 40 years ago.
