Cyprus. Varosha. Conflict Zone

Varosha (Varosha) - city in Cyprus, which was occupied by the Turks in 1974. Prior to that, Varosha was the modern tourist area, real flower coast. After the Turkish invasion of the Greek Cypriots had to flee the city. From it went with the expectation that they would return in a week or two, but that time has passed for 34 years, and political conflict until the end and is not allowed. Therefore Varosha remains completely deserted town, surrounded by barbed wire. Enter it allowed the Turks UN personnel, and, judging by the presence of photos in the network, sometimes go to them and photographers. Building slowly deteriorate. Plus only: since then, like this section of the coast became uninhabited, it bred rare sea turtles listed in the Red Book.
