epa02184992 A view of a Franciscan monastery near rows of barrels obstructing access into the United Nations "green line" which splits the Cypriot capital Nicosia, on 3June 2010. Pope Benedict does not have a political agenda in visiting Cyprus from 4-6June, but his accommodation at the Franciscan monastery in territory under the jurisdiction of U.N. peacekeeping forces brings a long-standing conflict into sharper focus. The Roman Catholic Holy Cross Church in the medieval heart of Nicosia still bears scars from the crossfire of ethnic strifefrom a Turkish invasion triggered by a Greek inspired coup in 1974.
