yes it was just dont touch & go there for years
but then it all seems to have hardened up like crazy glue
while nobody was noticing

on this map

you can see 4 de facto tripoints
1 set of twins of
cyprus united kingdom united nations
& another set of twins of
turkey united kingdom united nations

do you or does anyone think we should count these as anything

i mean
does the fact that they are not legally agreed to make them less real than
more conventional world class tripoints

or the fact that one party of them is the united nations

for is the participation of the united nations in tripoints with its member
nations any different from the particpation of a national entity in
tripoints with its constituent parts
as for example in the conjunctions of federal territories or a federal
capital district or federal waters with member states or provinces


& nice digs for a supposed trouble spot tho
