Therefore there is a clear-cut solution: To transfer water to the south from the north that will receive water from Turkey. Moreover, it is possible to talk about water diplomacy within the framework of the renewed talks between the two communities.

The tension in ties between Talat and the Turkish military over the opening of the Lokmacı crossing dissipated earlier when the former separately met Büyükanıt in Ankara last January, a senior Turkish Cypriot official told the Turkish Daily News.


Quote:


Better late than never'

Büyükanıt's trip coincided with Cypriot efforts to open Lokmacı – the first barricade constructed in Cyprus for protection against Greek Cypriot attacks and considered a symbol of partition.

The Turkish Cypriot official said the visit was scheduled beforehand and had nothing to do with the opening of the Lokmacı crossing, adding that it was not made public because it could have been delayed at any time amid the Turkish army's operation into northern Iraq to fight terrorists.

Talat verbally conveyed the first invitation to Büyükanıt in 2007, he said. For his part, Talat who warmly welcomed the top commander on the island said, “your visit came a bit late but it is better late than never.”

Christofias made plain that he blamed the Turkish military, not Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, for what the Greek Cypriots charged was an encroachment into the UN-patrolled buffer zone by Turkish Cypriot police.

After more than three hours of UN-hosted talks in Nicosia, Cyprus' capital, Talat and Christofias admitted that there were problems that still needed ironing out but agreed to meet again next month to reassess progress.
