The divided island of Cyprus is under the spotlight at the United Nations General Assembly.
The invasion of Turkish troops in 1974 partitioned the island between the UN-recognised Greek Cypriot Republic of Cyprus and the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
Repeated attempts at negotiations have failed. But on Monday, the UN secretary-general is holding talks with leaders on both sides of the divide.
