I'm not from England, sorry i dont understand 'occupied areas' ?

Oh...

About 40% of Cyprus is occupied by Turkey since their invasion in 1974... it is not recognised as a country by anybody but Turkey.

[loise]

oh right! is Nicosia in that part?

Nicosia is divided by the 'Green Line' that separates the two sides...

Which part is your job in...?

I am not sure! Its the hospital. Is it going to be a problem?

See the blood-drenched region in the north of the island on the map? Well that came about as a result of the Turkish military invasion & occupation of Cyprus in 1974, during which 180,000 Cypriots were ethnically cleansed, 5,000 odd murdered, and there’s 1,500 odd still unaccounted for!

Which resulted in the UN condemning these acts via…

UN RESOLUTION 361 (1974)

UN RESOLUTION 541 (1983)

To be honest I don't know Nicosia very well or where the hospitals are located...

I guess if you named the hospital other posters here would be able to say if it was in the occupied areas or not...

You'll find that opinions run very high here (for obvious reasons) about the two parts of the island...

Not if it's the new Nicosia General Hospital...
