This zone runs either side of the infamous 'Green Line' that separates the internationally recognized Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish controlled north - in this case, the exclave around Kokkina/Erenkot. The Turkish-controlled north was unilaterally declared as TRNC in 1983, but is not recognized as the UN has declared this action as "legally invalid", calling for respect by all UN members for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus.
