Mason & Dixon Line in Cyprus

[Tsianides Costas]

During the struggle for the independence of Cyprus (1955-1959) from the
British Colonial rule .And to implement the dogma of "ruthless use of
diplomacy" (Br.Publ.Archives " Future Policy in Cyprus PRO,FO
371/123894) .  The  British Army, in the early morning of 30 May 1956
,erected iron rods and barber wire, between the Greek Cypriot and
Turkish Cypriot neighbourhoods of the capital Nicosia and the town was
partitioned. The name given by the British to the line was MASON AND
DIXON LINE.
And the justification for the name ? According to THEM it " was the line
in the U.S.A that divided North from South to prevent ...hostilities "
