Kythrea refugees plan protest march

KYTHREA area refugees plan to march to the Mia Milia UN post outside Nicosia on Wednesday afternoon in their annual anti-occupation rally.

At the dividing line a church service dedicated to the patron Saint of refugees, Ayios Dimitrianos, will be held, the chairman of the Kythrea refugee committee, Petros Kareklas, said at a press conference yesterday.

The event has in previous years passed off without incident.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
