“We’ve witnessed almost a 70% rise of military violations, predominantly construction violations by both parties along the buffer zone in this year. So those violations are anything from high-tech CCTV cameras, which we assessed could have the ability to link into other military capability that could be used in offensive capacity, to stone throwing, weapon cocking, or soldiers coming into the buffer zone to apprehend civilians. So all of these, all these factors play out in the buffer zone almost on a daily basis.”

26. SOUNDBITE (English) Col. Ben Ramsay, chief of staff of the U.N. Peacekeeping force in Cyprus (UNFICYP):
“What we are seeing is probably the classic security dilemma where both forces are acting in a defence, what they argue is a defensive manner but is perceived by their opposition as an aggressive act. And, of course, you don’t know where that’s going to stop, because if neither party stops, eventually there’s only one logical conclusion, that peace will turn into violence."
