Green life: part of 바카라사이트 campus is in 바카라사이트 buffer zone and part is outside it

Ban Ki-moon, 바카라사이트 United Nations secretary general, has a lot on his plate: North Korea��s threat to test a nuclear weapon, Islamist rebels battling French-led troops in Mali��and security concerns provoked by 바카라사이트 University of Central Lancashire��s Cyprus campus.

After Uclan built 바카라사이트 campus in 바카라사이트 UN-enforced buffer zone between 바카라사이트 island��s Greek and Turkish communities, it earned 바카라사이트 spectacular distinction of being rebuked by 바카라사이트 UN secretary general in a report to 바카라사이트 Security Council.

Uclan, one of 바카라사이트 UK��s most active universities overseas, owns a 51 per cent stake in 바카라사이트 joint venture company behind 바카라사이트 �53 million (?45.4 million) development; 바카라사이트 rest is owned by a group connected with a Cypriot developer, Hassapis Group.

But 바카라사이트 campus, which opened its doors in October, has been built next to Pyla, 바카라사이트 only village in 바카라사이트 buffer zone inhabited by Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

It currently hosts 140 students, thought to be predominantly Greek Cypriots, a development that could provoke anxiety among 바카라사이트 Turkish Cypriot community. Uclan has said that student numbers are envisaged to grow ��towards 5,000�� within five years.

In his June 2012 report on Cyprus to 바카라사이트 UN Security Council, Mr Ban writes that 바카라사이트 ��unauthorized construction adjacent to 바카라사이트 village of Pyla of a university campus was of particular concern during 바카라사이트 reporting period��. The projected influx of Cypriot and foreign students ��has raised concerns with regard to security, and law and order��, he adds.

The buffer zone between Greek and Turkish Cyprus, known as 바카라사이트 Green Line, was made impassable by 바카라사이트 UN - except for designated crossing points - after Turkey��s invasion of 바카라사이트 island in 1974.

It is patrolled by 바카라사이트 UN peacekeeping force UNFICYP.

온라인 바카라 asked UNFICYP whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 situation had moved on since Mr Ban��s report last year. A spokesman said 바카라사이트 construction ��remains unauthorised�� and ��UNFICYP continues to discuss [바카라사이트 situation] with interested parties��.

A Uclan spokesman said 바카라사이트 university ��has always been aware that 바카라사이트 site of its Cyprus campus includes land within 바카라사이트 buffer zone��. He said 바카라사이트 existing building was in 바카라사이트 buffer zone, with some of 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 site outside it.

He noted that 바카라사이트 campus ��is fully licensed by all 바카라사이트 relevant Cypriot authorities��.

Some of 바카라사이트 more alarming claims by critics proved groundless, however. In a letter expressing strong support for 바카라사이트 project, Simon Mytides, president of Pyla Community Council, said: ��There are no minefields adjacent to or around 바카라사이트 university area.��
