"Economic isolation of northern Cyprus must be lifted - Putin
SO CHI. July 18 (Interfax) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the time has come to do away with economic isolation of the northern part of Cyprus.
'The first thing we must do is to solve the problem of economic isolation of one part of the island, to create conditions for establishing normal links between the island's two parts and, on this basis, to lay a foundation for exhaustive normalization in the interests of all residents of the island,' Putin said in Sochi on Monday following talks with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan."
