Quote:

Kuwait yesterday announced that they will let Northern Cyprus open an economic mission in Kuwait in a move to increase its economic relations with Turkish Cypriots, who have suffered from an international embargo for decades. ìI call on the other states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, too, to establish ties with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus,î said Sheik Nasser Al Mohammed Al Sabah, the prime minister of Kuwait, in a joint press conference with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdog<breve>an in Ankara.

 
  Confirming Erdog<breve>an's statement, Al-Sabah preferred to say ìTurkish Republic of Northern Cyprusî rather than ìNorthern Cyprusî in a move to make a gesture to Erdog<breve>an, who he calls ìbrother.î
