By Michele Kambas NICOSIA (Reuters) - Leaders of ethnically split Cyprus agreed on Monday to restart peace talks on May 15, a U.N. envoy said on Monday, offering fresh hope of healing one of Europe's most enduring frozen conflicts.

"They agreed it was important to use the momentum created and opportunity to move forward without delay," Eide told journalists outside a landmark hotel straddling a 'buffer zone' that has split the capital Nicosia for decades. Once catering to Hollywood royalty, the Ledra Palace Hotel is now a shabby shadow of its former self, and is used as living quarters for British peacekeepers.
