Yes, we need to get the lines sorted out, and is there really a well defined
thin green line.
I would like to see similar maps for other areas as well. And this is the
first time I actually see such demarcation line on maps.
Tourist maps, guide book maps etc. normally do not show buffer zone, but
just a a single line boundary, and all these maps I have seen do not have
the same line through Nicosia.
