AP reports from Nicosia that gay rights groups from both sides of the ethnic divide in Cyprus have formalized their cooperation in raising public awareness about gay rights and working toward buttressing those rights through legislation.
Accept-LGBTI Cyprus from the internationally recognized Greek Cypriot south and Queer Cyprus Association from the breakaway Turkish Cypriot north converged Saturday on the U.N. controlled buffer zone cutting across the capital Nicosia to mark their partnership by organizing a festival replete with a fire juggler.
The groups hailed the move as a milestone in assisting to break down the east Mediterranean island nation’s physical divide and complex politics.
