Wow! This is best news I've heard for a long time -- I can only hope and pray that this time it's the real thing.

The article sounds very hopeful and is also very balanced which is a nice change as well. I've been reading more and more "balanced" reporting on the Cyprus Issue for a while now, it must mean that times-are-a-changing.

For example, it writes "The Greek and Turkish Cypriots have been divided since 1974, when Turkey sent troops into the north, after a coup by Greek Cypriots who wanted union with Greece." -- usually, you just hear about those "Terrible Turks" who invaded the island for "no apparent reason".

owch!

sorry guys, just noticed, BBC!

Then that does something!

...and i think a big hail to David H4YE (boxer heading for world heavyweight title) who lives and trains in Kyrenia, as he also speaks of 'TRNC' in all of his interviews alongside the Turkish Cypriot flag designer shorts he insists on wearing
