Cyprus sets date for peace talks
2008 July 25
Though talks between leaders of the Turkish and Greek Cypriot communities have stalled since 2004, they have agreed to commence reunification talks on September 3, according to the United Nations. It remains uncertain whether the talks will bring about a united Cyprus for the first time since Turkish troops invaded the northern third of the island in 1974, but the prospect of peace seems all the more likely now as Turkey lobbies for membership in the European Union.
