In 1974, he occupation of 37% of Cyprus by Turkey resulted in the
division of the island by the Attila line, a.k.a. as the
green line. This line is very thin in Nicosia, where it can be
as narrow as a small road but it can be much wider in non-built
areas. The line area was provided by the Republic of Cyprus and is
controlled only by UN troops.
The UN headquarters are located at the Nicosia International Airport
which was abandonded after the war in 1974 and now can only be used
by the United Nation Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP).

Only the UN flag can be seen in the line area.

The UN Force would use the UN flag but might also fly their own national flag at their bases, and possibly on their vehicles (although the UN flag should have prominence), but these would only be for identification, not as a claim of sovereignty.
Graham Bartram, 27 May 1999
