In the capital of Cyprus, Nicosia, there is a second Berlin Wall. "The Green Line" is a dividing line that stretches to the entire length of the island separating the Greeks from the Turks. When the Turkish army came into the country (1974), about 30% of the population of Cyprus was forced to flee from their path, thus becoming refugees.
Currently, the population is divided according to ethnicity. The Greek Cypriots are living in the south and in the Turkish occupied area live the Turkish Cypriots and the Turks who have emigrated from Anatolia. By religion, the population is divided into Orthodox Christians and Muslims.
