Cyprus leaders consider reunification of the island -25Jul08


Back


Three decades of divide are taking a toll on rival communities in Cyprus - but that looks set to change. Greek and Turkish leaders are to meet on September 3 to begin negotiations on the reunification of the island. The historic talks would end a four-year deadlock between the communities following the rejection of a UN-brokered deal by the Greek Cypriots. The ethnic divide has gripped the island for 34-years. For one community, these talks hold particular significance. Al Jazeera's Hamish MacDonald reports from the Karpaz region, on the tip of northern Cyprus, to meet the last remaining Greek community under Turkish control.
