Cyprus peace process accelerates

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- Cyprus' rival community leaders have agreed to accelerate the peace process by holding weekly negotiations on a deal to reunify the war-divided island.

President Dimitris Christofias, a Greek Cypriot, and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat met for the fourth time since relaunching talks last month to end a four-year stalemate. Both say they are committed to end the island's decades-old division.
