FOR STORY CYPRUS BREAKING BARRIERS - In this Sunday, April 21, 2013, Greek Cypriot Yiannis Maratheftis, right, forged what some would consider the unlikeliest of friendships with Turkish Cypriot Fethi Akinci, as they stand near the Ledra Street crossing point in Cyprus' divided capital Nicosia.

Economic crisis sets back peace in divided Cyprus





[...] these flickers of hope for reunification are at risk of being snuffed out as the island confronts what could be its worst economic crisis, making prospects for reconciliation appear dimmer than ever.

With its once-robust banking sector decimated and unemployment soaring amid harsh EU-imposed austerity, Greek Cypriots seem to have little appetite for any radical and potentially expensive change that would add to their overwhelming sense of uncertainty about their future.

"The opening of the gates, had opened a big door for ... the Turkish Cypriots because we were in a sort of enclave" said Turkish Cypriot Hassan Cirakli, sitting with his former Greek Cypriot schoolmate and close friend, Andreas Paralikis, in the shadow of a 12th-century cathedral converted into a mosque in the northern part of Nicosia.
