Prohibitions on the movement of persons were relaxed leading to unprecedented numbers of people crossing Green Line in both directions. Despite protestations that Greek and Turkish Cypriots would be violent toward each other if left to freely mingle, the relaxation of population movement brought touching stories of solidarity and fraternity.
As population movement across the Green Line remained permissive and solution negotiations dragged on, people went back to the “ordinary business of life.” The opportunities offered by crossing the Green Line were integrated in the life of many Cypriots: Even while politicians and media focused on the intractable negotiations, Cypriots changed their behavior to take advantage of new opportunities offered by their ability to cross the Green Line.
