This article seems neutral now--Slogankid 10:22, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If I were a Greek Cypriot, I would agree with you. However, since there were no entries pertaining to the T/C side of the dispute, it was added in. --Expatkiwi 03:01, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
They are a copyright infringement and they are a repetition of information already in the section. Were or were not the two GCs killed by Turkish mobs? The answer is either yes or no. Both sides agree yes; anything beyond that is irrelevant. Thulium 19:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
These links were added, because they seemed appropriate and it is belived that they talk about the UN Buffer Zone that is mentioned in this article.
If someone(s) belives it belongs somewhere else, feel free to move.

1. How many troops monitor the line? (1200, I believe)
2. At what cost? (~$1.5 bil/year, I believe) Biruitorul 21:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think Green Line (Cyprus) and United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus should be merged. Especially because there is currently no consistent use and sometimes the link United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus is used in combination with the text Green Line.

I think that the article could be improved if the following points were elaborated in a more neutral way:
The Republic of Cyprus offered the land to the UN after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus to protect the Republic from further Turkish hostilities -- Citation needed.
Done.
Separation of people according to their ethnic background was not widespread prior to the Turkish invasion of 1974, -- Inconsistent with Cyprus intercommunal violence (inter-ethnic conflict between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots on the island of Cyprus from 1963 to 1974).
Information not relevant anyway. See Cyprus dispute and Cyprus intercommunal violence instead.
The "Green Line" is also referred to as the Turkish Cyprus barrier -- Citation needed.
Information not relevant anyway. See Green Line (Cyprus) instead.
On the northern side of the Buffer Zone, there exists a barrier constructed by the Turkish military. It consists mainly of barbed wire fencing, a few concrete wall segments, watch-towers, anti-tank ditches, and minefields. -- Citation needed.
Deaths within the Buffer Zone -- Is there a Turkish-Cypriot point of view on these events? Why shouldn't it be mentioned here?

References and external links should be expanded.
Please assume good faith.-- FrancescoMazzucotelli 15:54, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have reverted a deletion of my carefully edited opening paragraph to this article. The information that I took out is covered in the articles with the links. Of course everything that somebody put back in might be true, but in the context of this opening paragraph it is just tendentious and off-putting. It lacks balance. Let us not have an edit war over this, please. Thank you very much; I know that the most recent editor was acting in good faith, but surely he must see how this wording is "expressing or intending to promote a particular cause or point of view, esp. a controversial one." Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 07:42, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The remark above is extremely unfortunate. I am sure that the writer is a good person, but it would be best for one editor to avoid addressing another editor in a personal manner. I bring a neutral viewpoint to this piece, and I find the original opener to be, as I said, tendentious. Everything that was in the original article should be placed farther down in the piece. What the casual researcher is looking for in the opening paragraph is some indication as to what the article is about. One really doesn't need to cram all of the information into the lead. From the viewpoint of the Turks, the line has not "split the country in two"; it has provided a border for a legitimate nation. (I only mention this to illustrate that there is a controversy going on and that the original wording took just one side of it.) Sincerely yours, and with great good will, GeorgeLouis (talk) 18:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any villages in the UN Buffer zone? Is there some UN civilian administration? What laws govern civilian activities in the zone (if any - eg. agriculture, etc.)? Alinor (talk) 13:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Under "The buffer zone" section, the 2nd last sentence of the section (1st sentence in its last paragraph) is terribly run-on. It is a single sentence consisting of 101 words, thus:
Surely this can be re-written, no? I count 3 or 4 concepts in that single sentence, so I don't see why it can not be re-written into at least 2 or 3 sentences. Can the author please do that? Thanks.

In the buffer zone some 10,000 people live in several villages and and there are farms located within. That's written in the introduction of the article. It that right grammar with these "and and?" I'm not a native speaker but it seems wrongly to me . . .--31.17.153.69 (talk) 11:42, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused, Wikimedia Commons says yes (at least c:Template:Countries of the European Union), europa.eu may said no, and several UNSC documents said either yes or no. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 00:33, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
