ahhh
interesting
not really a tripoint then

but this news item from 2 years ago may explain everything
http://www.cyprus-mail.com/2000/July/6/news070603.htm

also
i cant locate strovilia on any map
because it is so tiny
but various indications suggest it may be situated at the road
crossing of the un buffer zone just nne of larnaca
which is shown on most maps
& which would still place the photo very near the 2 tripoints
recently suggested

but can anyone confirm this surmised location
either for strovilia or black knight or both
