The end of the green line?
Nine days after the opening of the green line that has separated Turkish (180,000 in the north) and Greek (620,000 in the south) Cypriots for nearly 30 years, 130,000 people have crossed the line that is supervised by UN forces. This situation has broken the taboo of an impossible co-existence between the two communities and brings hope for a solution to partition in the near future.

Negotiations
The leaders of the Greek and Turkish communities have renewed negotiations with the aim to reunite the island.

The Commissioner for Enlargement, Günter Verheugen, assured the Cypriot Foreign Minister that the island will be included in the group of 10 countries requesting integration into the European Union when a decision is taken in 2002 after the European Council in Copenhagen.
