<div id="ygrps-yiv-1807905912"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;but does your safety hazard assessment apply only to the pair of neutral <br/>

 </span></blockquote>I was referring mostly to the &#39;tripoints&#39; at the eastern side of the SBA. I <br/>
guess the UN-UK-Greek tripoint near Pyla would be reasonably attainable, <br/>
although the lines of control in that area didn&#39;t seem to correspond with <br/>
my map. By contrast, the UN-UK-Turkish tripoint would appear to be in a <br/>
relatively remote area without vehicular access, not to mention a place <br/>
where civilians have no good excuse to be.<br/>
<br/>
This said, I don&#39;t know how accurately the boundaries of the UN Buffer Zone <br/>
are defined. I have not yet found a map of Cyprus that accurately defines <br/>
these (and most of the Greek Cypriot maps only show the Turkish line of <br/>
control), and things seem to be different on the ground (it was the same at <br/>
Kokkina and Kato Pyrgos). It leads me to think that you can only trace the <br/>
SBA boundaries with any real accuracy.<br/>
