Let's patch things up

"Let's patch things up

CYPRIOT women from both sides of the divide yesterday joined their voices in reaffirming their desire for peace and reunification on the island.

They met at the Ledra Palace hotel, in the Nicosia buffer zone, to prepare their piece of a global patchwork representing the ideal world of women from every country.

The pieces would be put together to make a huge quilt � the quilt of international solidarity, which would translate the Women�s World Charter for Humanity.

It was an emotional meeting in the middle of the dividing line.

Turkish Cypriot women, who got there first, greeted their Greek counterparts with the slogan �Peace in Cyprus cannot be stopped�."
