Cyprus is an island divided by the green line. a 113mile physical barrier which separates Greek Cypriots from the towns and communities where their families lived for generations. The division of Cyprus is most obvious in its divided capital city of Nicosia. It is the last truly divided city in the world. Armed guards stare at each other at check points around the city. In the center of the city bullet holes scar buildings and serve as a powerful reminder of the 1974 events. More than 200.000 men. women. and children were forcibly expelled from the northern portion of Cyprus during the invasion and occupation. They remain refugees today. A people without a home. There are still 1.614 people missing from the invasion.
