"Wemust, at long last, put an end to the suffering of our people and reunite our country," said President Demetris Christofias on September 3rd as he began negotiations with his Turkish-Cypriot counterpart, Mehmet Ali Talat. The mood, at least, is a far cry from the rancour that engulfed the island in 2004, when a un plan was backed by the Turk-ish-Cypriots but rejected by the Greeks. One stumbling-block in all discussions about Cyprus is the fate of thernGreek-Cypriots who fled south in 1974 when Turkey invaded, in the wake of a short-lived coup fomented by the junta that held sway in Athens. In Greek political rhetoric, the demand of the refugees to go home is non-negotiable. But that thinking may be changing.
