Cyprus reunification talks show little progress

Last-ditch talks on reunifying Cyprus went into their fourth day today, with little sign of any movement between the Greek and Turkish sides.

“I can’t say that this second phase has advanced to substantive negotiations. There has been an exchange of the positions of the two sides … but there has been no indication of change in Turkish intransigence,” said Yiannakis Omirou, who leads the Greek Cypriot Socialist Party.
