"Turkish Cypriots get landmark vote in Cyprus election
April 19, 2006
NICOSIA -- Hundreds of Turkish Cypriots have registered to vote in the Cypriot parliament race in the government-controlled south of the divided island for the first time in decades, officials said on Tuesday.
Cypriot interior minister Andreas Christou said that the May 21 parliamentary election would be 'significant' for the precedent-setting participation of 270 Turkish Cypriot voters.
Turkish Cypriot poet Neshe Yashin, who resides in the south, is also making history by standing as a candidate for the staunchly pro-reunification United Democrats party."
