(Department of Geography, University of Waterloo, 1976), pp. 45-88. "General Grivas did manage to exert a restraining influence on the activities of Greek-Cypriot irregulars. The abduction of Turk-Cypriots on the roads ended and no major inter-communal incidents occurred involving dissident Greek-Cypriot gangs. Violence, for the most part, was confined to vendetta murders, shootings between shepherds of neighbouring villages, and to sentries occasional firing across the Green-Line barricades in Nicosia."</ref>
