STORYLINE
Just a few hundred metres (feet) away from the 'no man's land' between the Greek and Turkish part of the Cypriot capital Nicosia, the banks are open, and nobody stops to check if the ATM machines still dispense cash.
Unaffected by the economic turmoil which has engulfed the Greek Cypriot economy, the residents of the northern part of the divided island say they feel for their southern neighbours.
"I don't like such a thing to be happening" says Nazim Kizilbora, who owns a souvenir shop in the Turkish held north.
"I am a Cypriot, a Turkish Cypriot, they are Greek Cypriots but we are Cypriots all together," he says.
Cyprus was split into an internationally recognised, Greek-speaking south and a breakaway Turkish Cypriot north following Turkey's invasion in 1974, in the wake of an attempted coup by supporters of union with Greece.
The south enjoyed a burgeoning economy for years, joined the European Union and adopted the bloc's joint currency.
But the economy, based almost entirely on an oversized banking sector, has fallen on dramatically hard times.
Overexposed to toxic Greek debt, the country's banks tottered, and its government agreed early on Monday to an international bailout - but is forced to raise billions of euros on its own.
Meanwhile, with its separate currency and no exposure to the problems which have lead to collapse of banks in the South, the North enjoys a period of economic calm.
Still, residents there think Cyprus' problems could affect them all.
After the events of 1974, Turkey ended up with control of nearly 40 percent of the island.
