A number of analysts have urged cautious optimism when it comes to the future ofpeace talks over the ethnically divided island of Cyprus, drawing similarities with past disappointments during negotiations to reunify the island.

He is however a very good leader of the turkish Cypriots. otherwise your statement is only false and offensive. Thank you.
