Cypriot party leader returns from historic talks in Turkey

The leader of Cypriot biggest opposition party AKEL, Antros Kyprianou, returned on Sunday from talks with the Turkish government saying it was agreed to continue the dialogue to overcome obstacles to a solution of the Cyprus problem.

Turkey a characteristic example of the West’s hypocrisy in combating “IS”

AKEL strongly denounces Turkey’s action to shoot down a Russian fighter aircraft which was taking part in the operations against the “Islamic State”, as well as the execution of the pilots of the aircraft. Turkey’s provocative action is an act that exacerbates the already tense situation in our region, while further undermining the struggle against the “IS”.
