KIRNI, Cyprus (AP) — Mehmet Eligon points to a yellow patch of grass on his sprawling farm to show how this year’s meager rains are drying up feed for his goats, sheep and Holstein cows.

“Because of the drought this year, there’s no water in our wells and the crops are drying,” says the 49 year-old Turkish Cypriot wearing military-style fatigues — popular attire for farmers on both sides of Cyprus, split between ethnic Greek and Turkish camps.
