Cyprus: Campaigners and workers back reunification talks

CYPRIOT peace campaigners and trade unions called a rally last night in support of two days of reunification talks which wrapped up yesterday.

The communist Progressive Party of Working People (Akel) urged a mass turnout at the evening gathering in Cetinkaya stadium in the buffer zone between the government-controlled south of the island and the Ankara-backed pseudostate in the north, which have been separated since the Turkish invasion of 1974.

The event was organised by the Pancyprian Federation of Labour and the Turkish Cypriot Platform for Solution and Reunification.
