"First to Favor the TRNC
Sami Kohen
Columnist Sami Kohen comments on the Cyprus issue. A summary of his column is as follows:
�Today will see an event long-anticipated by Turkish Cypriots. A Turkish Cypriot Airways plane will take off from Istanbul carrying an American commercial delegation to Ercan Airport in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). The US delegation of representatives from large American firms and commerce consultants from Ankara�s US Embassy will hold meetings with Turkish businessmen in the TRNC. Such a visit is a first, and it holds political significance. In other words, the decades-long policy of isolation imposed on Turkish Cypriots is being breached, thus sending an important message to the Greek Cypriot Papadopoulos administration."
