NICOSIA (AFP) — Communist party chief Demetris Christofias won a historic victory in Cyprus's presidential election on Sunday and immediately vowed to launch a new drive to reunite the island after 34 years of division.
His jubilant supporters -- some in luxury convertibles -- cruised the streets of Nicosia, the world's last divided capital, waving Cypriot and banners of communist icon Che Guevara, their car horns blaring.
Christofias, 61, secured 53.36 percent of the vote against 46.64 percent for conservative former foreign minister Ioannis Kasoulides in an election billed by the local media as one of the most crucial in the history of Cyprus.

A kindred spirit of Obama and Clinton won in Cyprus. This should be interesting.
Good luck with that. I see a war with the Turks coming on. Communist incompetence alone is capable of igniting wars.
We are not immune!
In case we’ve forgotten what what Guevara stood for:
‘”In April 1967, speaking from experience, [Ché] summed up his homicidal idea of justice in his “Message to the Tricontinental”: “hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine.”’
“if Christ himself stood in my way, I, like Nietzsche, would not hesitate to squish him like a worm.”
- Che Guevara
The communists have always been strong on Cyprus. It will be interesting to see how this fellow’s presidency spins out, especially with regard to Turkey and its occupation of No. Cyprus.
Hope they enjoy the results... Ha!

Commies take over Cypress ping
If you look at a map, it will be evident that the island of Cyprus is considerably closer to Turkey than to Greece. In fact, there are quite a few small islands that Greece has which are very close to the Turkish mainland and a good ways away from the Greek mainland. Looking at a map makes it easy to understand why the Turks are not happy with the Greeks.
One man one vote is as dangerous to our Republic as Obama.....er, sorry, I meant Osama.
It’s not Cyprus and the Greek isles that are close to Turkey, it’s Turkey that’s close to Cyprus and the islands. “We were there first”.
Last war was ignited by American backed junta guys. I don’t think they were communists. Any thoughts on that?
The first Balkan war of 1914, which I only learned of a few months ago, was won on the battlefield and lost in the “corridors of power” of nominally Christian nations. The bills for this betrayal came due in WW I. Granted, I believe that evangelism is the best way to confront Islam. Still, when the guns begin to shoot, throwing Christian nations to the wolves tends to make the King of Kings and Lord of Lords unhappy. There’s a price to pay when you sacrifice principles to expediency.
"He has also established strong ties with the Turkish Cypriot labour movement and is one of only a few Greek Cypriot politicians to have crossed to the Turkish-occupied north of the island to visit Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat. According to Mr Christofias' party spokesman, Andros Kyprianou, the new president's links with Turkish Cypriot leaders "will make it relatively easy to have bilateral talks with them".
Cyprus will have nothing on us if the unwashed, tatooed, pierced gaggle elect the anti-American Hussein Obama.
Well this christian nation has been thrown to the wolves several times, and it seems that the West just doesn’t ever learn.
