While the world co-celebrates the fall of the Berlin Wall twenty years ago today - its nice that the French media does keep a watchful eye on what is happening on Cyprus and the fate of Europe's last divided capital. Turkey continues to insist on recognition of the division it created by its invasion in 1974 and is not openly condemned for this. The EU indulges in double-speak about Turkey opening its ports to Cypriot ships rather than insisting that it should withdraw its army of occupation.
