'Last-chance' Cyprus peace talks open in Swiss Alps
Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders began talks on Wednesday aimed at reuniting the island after more than 40 years of division, in what some activists said could be the last chance of a settlement.
Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci met in the Swiss Alpine resort of Crans-Montana, joined by senior UN and European Union officials and the foreign ministers of Greece and Turkey.
UN mediator Espen Barth Eide said the best outcome in talks tentatively scheduled to last until July 7 would be a comprehensive agreement, which would be hard but not impossible to attain.
