"Talks dissolve into row
By Jean Christou
CYPRUS talks began yesterday with a fierce 20-minute row after Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat unexpectedly read out a statement criticising President Demetris Christofias` trip to Russia.
According to sources close to the talks, it was a long letter and angered Christofias to the point where the two leaders engaged in a shouting match for between 20 minutes and half an hour before eventually getting down to business.
The Turkish Cypriot side has been complaining about the Moscow trip since Christofias visited Russia a week ago."
