I liked it but still I consider a little possibility for a genuine reunification of Cyprus. In ur above prediction, as far as I comprehended, Turks and Hellenes had fully reconciled though u didn't mention anything abt Greco-Turco relations or regional news. I am impatiently waiting the next news feed. :D
