CORRECTION: The Green Line that was created as a result of the intercommunal violence in 1963, despite bearing the same name as the current division, existed only within Nicosia Old Town. Prior to the Turkish invasion in 1974 there was no north - south division.

Nicely done mate! informative for me though. Really like to visit these areas myself. Take it easy and have a lovely day 🙂

[ohnoaris]

Incredible as always. Your voice is full of expression and you captivated me with incredible editing and information they don’t actually teach us about this stuff. Cannot wait to see you grow.

As a child who lived through the barbaric invasion and who has lost everything my family owned, I...100% resent such "informative" videos from opportunists who have no other job obviously, and want to become "experts" for a tragedy that they know NOTHING! about..
