Mehmet Ali Talat became the first Turkish Cypriot leader to cross the UN-controlled green zone since the island was split in 1974. A new border crossing opened last month in the middle of a street shopping hub. Accompanied by bodyguards, the leader of the Turkish north got three scoops of vanilla at an ice cream parlor that he used to visit as a child.
"I was told that this is the best ice cream in Cyprus. I'm not sure about that claim, but it is very good ice cream," said a jovial Talat.
He was greeted by applause and handshakes from Greek and Turkish Cypriots.
