Cyprus peace talks resume after gap

Rival

Cypriot leaders yesterday rebooted stalled UNbacked reunification talks for the island and agreed to pick up lost momentum after a two-month suspension. The leaders agreed to schedule four new meetings, in a new phase of talks, with the first beginning on April 20.

“I hope this new round of negotiations will take us to a point where we can say there are convergences that lead us to a Cyprus solution,” Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades told reporters after yesterday’s three-hour session. (AFP)
