		As Greek and Turkish Cypriots marked the 30th anniversary on 15 July of the attempted coup by the Athens junta against President Makarios and the subsequent Turkish occupation of northern Cyprus in 1974, the Turkish Cypriot cabinet was in crisis.
		His father, Rauf Denktash -- veteran Turkish Cypriot politician and architect of the de facto partition of the island -- flatly rejects reunification on the basis of single sovereignty and insists on the breakaway Turkish Cypriot state being recognised by the international community and not just Ankara.
		Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul commented by saying, "We'll evaluate [the proposal] with our [Turkish Cypriot] friends and then we will make a decision." But his ministry's spokesman, Namik Tan, said the confidence-building measures were meant to shift the focus away from Turkish Cypriot and Turkish efforts to end the isolation of the north.
