NICOSIA (AP)-Greece's new foreign minister is calling on Turkey to provide stronger support for peace talks in war-divided Cyprus after a landmark September 12 Turkish referendum on constitutional reforms.
Dimitris Droutsas said Wednesday he hopes Turkey will show the "necessary political will" to back talks on the island that have produced only limited progress after two years of negotiations between rival leaders.
Cyprus was split into a Turkish Cypriot north and a Greek Cypriot south in 1974 when the Turkish military invaded the island, occupying its northern half after a bloody war that has left Cyprus as the most militarized country on the planet.
