"Greece summons British ambassador to complain over Britain-Turkey agreement

ATHENS, Greece: Greece summoned Britain's ambassador in Athens to the foreign ministry Thursday to complain over part of an agreement signed between Britain and Turkey concerning northern Cyprus.

The strategic partnership agreement, announced Tuesday during a visit to London by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, included a reference to northern Turkish-occupied Cyprus as the "TRNC," which stands for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The breakaway state in the north of the divided island is recognized only by Ankara."
