The fact that the Ambassadors Plenitpotentary and Extraordinary of the United States of America, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Russian Federation, and the People's Republic of China all visited Mehmet Ali Talat at his residence at the Quirini (Cephane) Bastion - is definitely newsworthy. That's making a clear statement of their recognizing Mehmet Ali Talat as the ligitimate leader of the Turkish Cypriot Community on Cyprus...
