Cyprus and Lebanon signed a search-and-rescue cooperation agreement Wednesday, despite an ongoing sea boundary dispute between the island nation and Turkey, according to AP. «This is a very important agreement ... It is the first agreement that Cyprus has signed with a neighbor on such an important humanitarian issue,» Foreign Minister Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis said. Wednesday's agreement was signed by Kozakou-Marcoullis and Mohamad Safadi, Lebanon's minister for public works and transport.
