March 9, 2007: Greek Cypriots began knocking down part of the wall that splits the Cypriot capital of Nicosia into Greek and Turkish zones. The wall in central Nicosia is regarded as the most "readily identifiable symbol" of the island's division. A Greek Cypriot spokesman said the destruction of the wall was meant to be a "sign of goodwill." Greek Cypriots hope that Turkey will eventually withdraw its troops from the northern half of Cyprus. A Turkish Cypriot spokesman said that Turkish Cypriots were "surprised" by the toppling of the wall.
