The second peace process at stake is the new attempt to unify Cyprus, which has been divided since its constitutional breakdown in 1963 and Turkey’s invasion in 1974. Indeed, it is bizarre that the capital of an EU member country is divided by a dead zone patrolled for decades by United Nations peacekeeping troops.
第二个重要的和平进程是统一塞浦路斯的新尝试。自1963年在宪法崩溃以及1974年土耳其入侵以来，塞浦路斯一直处于分裂状态。事实上，一个欧元区成员国的首都被一个几十年来由联合国维和部队巡逻守备的无人区一分为二，这实在是一件咄咄怪事。
