What is the 'Green Line' in Cyprus?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. The UN-patrolled buffer zone that divides the island and crosses Nicosia
- Step 1: After 1974 a ceasefire line was drawn across the island. Step 2. The United Nations patrols the buffer zone along this line, which also divides the capital Nicosia. Answer: The UN-patrolled buffer zone that divides the island and crosses Nicosia. Why not the others: The Sovereign Base Areas have their own boundaries, and a road or a forest boundary is not a divided line.
