Transcript:

When people think about Cyprus they usually assimilates it with this island here in the Mediterranean sea, most probably because of Cyprus flag. But this flag is not that accurate.
You see, there are actualy 4 territorial entities on this Island. This part here called The Republic of Cyprus, The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and two British military bases that are actually British territory. You notice here this narrow strip of land separating the two republics, this is an United Nations buffer zone occupied by UN peace keeping forces. But why?
After gaining it’s independence form the British empire in 1960, Cyprus owned most of the island except this two areas that served as British military bases. Soon, plans for Cyprus annexation into Grece were made and in order to stop this, Turkey decided to invade the island, taking control of the northen part of the island and declaring The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as an independent country. In order to keep the peace on the island, the UN created this buffer zone along the border between the two countries.
