Namik Kemal square is decorated by flags of Turkey (L) and breakaway Turkish Cypriot state (R) before an election rally of the Turkish Cypriot presidential candidate Dervis Eroglu in Famagusta, in the Turkish part of Cyprus, April 15, 2010. The frontrunner in Turkish Cypriot polls said he would demand broad sovereign powers in settlement talks with Greek Cypriots and ruled out any Greek Cypriot return to land now held by Turks - a stance that could bury hopes for a deal. Eroglu, a staunch backer of independence for Turkish Cypriots, said he would resume talks to reunify the island because a settlement would allow northern Cyprus's integration into the European Union.
