President Of Germany Is Guided In Old Nicosia
The flag of the so-called ''Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus'' is barely visible on Pentadaktylos mountain behind a mosque minaret in the Turkish side of the city, as seen from the roof of the Town Hall in Nicosia, Cyprus, on February 12, 2024. The President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, is being guided by the President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, and Nicosia Mayor, Constantinos Yiorkadjis, to the old city of Nicosia, where the barricades that separate the Greek and Turkish sides of the city, also known as the ''Green Line,'' are visible. Nicosia remains the last divided European capital. The visit of the German President marks the first of its kind since the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960 and the commencement of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
