NICOSIA, Cyprus -- The new Turkish Cypriot government of Premier Ferdi Sabit Soyer won a vote of confidence Sunday in the breakaway Turkish Cypriot state, in a boost to efforts to reunify the divided island.
Soyer replaced former prime minister Mehmet Ali Talat, who took over as president last month. Both Talat and Soyer want to restart reunification talks with Greek Cypriots in the south so Turkish Cypriots can benefit from membership in the European Union."
