By Michele Kambas NICOSIA (Reuters) - Greek Cypriots unveiled measures on Tuesday to boost trust across the ethnically divided island, and announced that rival leaders would hold their first meeting in months on May 2. Peace talks between Cyprus's estranged Greek and Turkish communities stalled last October, and Saturday's meeting will be the first since moderate Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci swept to power in elections on April 26. Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades, who attends peace talks in his capacity as leader of Greek Cypriots, said on Tuesday he would offer 'unilateral confidence building measures' to Turkish Cypriots to boost negotiations. Confidence building measures included the handover of maps detailing the location of 28 mine fields the Greek Cypriot military laid before a 1974 war which now fall in Turkish Cypriot-controlled territory.
