Greek Cypriot party

Greek Cypriot party leaders on July 16 rejected an offer from the Turkish Cypriot president to create a cooperation mechanism for joint exploration and profit-sharing of hydrocarbon resources around the island of Cyprus, according to local media.     

Defying all skeptics, pulling down old taboos one after the other and with an unaccustomed absence of leaks and public mudslinging, the Cyprus talks appear to be gearing up to yet another twin referenda in March-April 2016.
