Nicosia, Cyprus
Voters in northern Cyprus couldn’t agree this week on whether to reunify their Turkish-dominated republic with the Greek-dominated rest of the island. In Turkish Cypriot elections, pro-unification and anti-unification forces each got almost exactly half the vote. Cyprus is on schedule to join the European Union next May, but if it is not reunited by then, only the Greek part will join. The island has been split since 1974, when Turkey invaded after a Greek Cypriot coup.
