Sir,
I do hate being taken for a fool. Your front-page story on Thursday quoted President Papadopoulos saying he “wanted a solution yesterday” and was “ready to re-negotiate whenever such an initiative is undertaken”. Undertaken by whom, may I ask?

Last week we looked at it from a woman’s point of view. This week JILL CAMPBELL MACKAY finds adulterers come in all shapes and sizes
ALTHOUGH when you move abroad you can take your family and pets, you can forget about the plants. No matter how precious or extraordinary they may be, there are no exemptions for non- commercial owners moving from one country to another. This can be particularly painful for Bonsai plants which can take years to cultivate.
HOW EASILY, a fearless freedom fighter ready to take on the world slips into the role of helpless victim, begging public sympathy, as soon as things go slightly wrong for him.
GOAT AND SHEEP farmers yesterday warned they would leave their animals to die outside the Presidential Palace unless the government increased feed subsidies.
The liberalisation of the market after EU accession has plunged the animal farming industry into crisis, and farmers fear they will be forced to destroy thousands of animals in a desperate effort to stay afloat.
REMEMBER 1999? Luxury cars were in high demand, stockbrokers were the epitome of cool and investors had to fight and kick their way through the crowds to look at the numbers flashing on the blue screens.
LAST SUNDAY one of the most drastic changes in political behaviour, in the history of Cyprus, took place. It still seems incredible. One in three Akel voters, last Sunday, decided not to do what they had been doing, with religious zeal, for the past six decades, that is, since the time we started holding elections in Cyprus.
For over a decade Marios Matsakis has been a breath of fresh air for the media in Cyprus — the ultimate headline-grabbing rent-a-quote, and a thorn in the in the side of the establishment and the British bases for his outspoken views on just about everything.
The number of asylum seekers dropped in the first quarter of this year but there are still thousands of outstanding applications, according to figures released yesterday.
In the first three months of the year the Asylum Service of the government received applications from 1,101 asylum seekers, compared to 3,339 in the last quarter of 2003.
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.
