Description
Summary:This article considers the possibility for truth & reconciliation to take place on the contested island of Cyprus. The author begins by reflecting on the nature of the terms "truth" & "reconciliation", finding that they can be subjective in nature. Therefore, the only possibility for truth or reconciliation to occur is when one is dealing with events that have already transpired, lest the "truth" be biased. The author speaks out in favor of international mediation in the case of Cyprus, not just by governing bodies but by civil society as well. C. Adcock
