Rival Cypriot leaders will meet today in Switzerland to resume efforts to solve one of the world's longest-running political crisis. The make-or-break talks are geared towards ending the decades-old division of the island and striking a lasting deal between its Greek- and Turkish-speaking communities.<br/><br/>Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkish troops invaded the northern third of the island in response to an Athens-inspired coup attempt seeking union with Greece. Turkey still maintains more than 35,000 troops in Cyprus and Nicosia remains Europe's last divided capital.<br/><br/>The last round of talks in January failed to make any headway.
