Cyprus: Celebrating (?) 20 years of Dialogue

In this house, we read Cyprus Mail on line fairly often, usually for chuckles over the news covering an entire country of about half a million people. Many of the stories end up being about suspicious dog lineages and today, calls for action against stores that started their January sales too early.

Today there was another article, which in all seriousness really brings mixed feelings. The Czechoslovakian and then Slovak embassies in Cyprus have been hosting Greek and Turkish Cypriot leadership in dialogue for over 20 years and they are now inviting that leadership to Bratislava to "celebrate" 20 years of dialogue. While 20 years of dialogue is better than 20 years without dialogue, it does make you wonder just how much longer they can go on talking without coming to some resolution.
