00:00Do you know that Chypre is not a single country but has four territories?
00:03I explain.
00:05You see, there are four territorial entities on this island.
00:09This part, here, is called the Republic of Chypre,
00:12the Republic Turk of Chypre North
00:14and two British military bases, which are technically the British territory.
00:18After obtaining its independence from the British Empire in 1960,
00:22Chypre had the most part of the island,
00:25except these two areas which served as British military bases.
00:28Few after, the plans for the annexing of Chypre to Greece were elaborated.
00:33And, to stop it, the Turkey decided to invade the island,
00:37taking control of the north part of the island
00:39and declaring the Republic Turk of Chypre North as a independent country.
00:44To maintain peace on the island,
00:47the UN has created this border border between the two countries.
00:51The armed forces turks have built a wall from the north side of the island,
00:55mainly composed of holes barbed,
00:58segments in stone,
00:59tours of gaies,
01:01fossés anti-chars
01:02and, sometimes,
01:03champs of mines.
