Peace talks on Cyprus to restart…
March 22, 2008
The Cypriot president and the Turkish Cypriot leader have agreed to resume talks on reunifying the island.
The deal was struck at a meeting between Demetris Christofias and Mehmet Ali Talat in Nicosia - the first such high-profile talks since 2006.
The two men also agreed to reopen a key crossing in the divided capital.
Greek and Turkish Cypriots have been divided since 1974, when Turkey deployed troops after a coup by Greek Cypriots who wanted union with Greece.
“This is a new era we are starting for the solution of the Cyprus problem,” Mr Talat said after the meeting in a UN buffer zone near the abandoned Nicosia airport.
“We shall try our utmost in order to come to an agreed solution for the interest of the Cypriot people, both communities, as soon as possible,” President Christofias said.
