Cypriots, Turks Look For Soccer Truce

(Reuters) -Greek and Turkish Cypriot officials will meet at FIFA next month to discuss the future of soccer on the divided island, the two sides said. The two sides issued simultaneous statements saying they had been invited by FIFA President Sepp Blatter to discuss and finalize a 'provisional arrangement for football in Cyprus' which would be based on the FIFA and UEFA statutes. 'It is expected that at the end of the deliberations the two delegations will sign a document outlining the steps for the progress of football in the whole of Cyprus, with the approval of FIFA and UEFA,' said the statements. 'The arrangement will need to be ratified by the general assemblies of both the Cyprus FA and the Cyprus Turkish FA.'
