Cyprus Leaders to Meet Amidst Reunification Talks
Imagine an island called Cyprus that's been split into two parts, with two groups of people who don't always agree.
The leaders of these two groups, Nikos and Tufan, are going to have a meeting.
It's the first time they'll get together since a new leader was chosen for one of the groups.
They are meeting at a special house that belongs to the people who help keep the peace on the island.
This meeting is important because they want to talk about how they can get along better and maybe even share the island more fairly in the future.
It's like a step towards understanding each other after a long time.
Leaders of ethnically split Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides and Tufan Erhurman, will meet on November 20.
This will be their first encounter since the election of a new Turkish Cypriot leader last month.
The meeting is scheduled to take place at the residence of the UN peacekeeping force envoy on the island.
The announcement of the meeting was made simultaneously by both the Greek and Turkish Cypriot sides.
The meeting signifies a step in discussions between the leaders of the divided island.
