Sir,
I have recently read many letters on the subject of animal welfare in Cyprus and although I am happy to see such an amazing amount of interest suddenly generating on this subject I find myself having to stand up for the Welfare systems in Pafos.
THERE seem to be so many letters published complaining about the expense of Cyprus, I feel bound to jump on the bandwagon with a few thoughts from a resident rather than a justifiably disgruntled tourist.
Sir,
I wonder did your readers know that in Cyprus the use of wireless Internet is doomed!
Sir,
Levent Hasanoglu (‘The ‘enclaved’ aren’t enclaved any more’, letters, August 29) suggests that the critical question – the Cyprus question – is whether the two sides are ready for a partnership based on political equality. Pose the wrong question and you get the wrong answer, 30, no 40 years of it… and counting.
Reproduced below is the full text of the sermon delivered by the Bishop of Morphou Neophytos during vespers at the church of Ayios Mamas in Morphou on Wednesday.
Fathers, Brothers, Compatriots,
“This day was created by the Lord, rejoice and be glad in it…”
This Easter verse came to mind, because today is truly a day of joy and jubilation.
THE BLOODBATH which our clued-up justice minister Doros Theodorou had warned would take place at Ayios Mamas church in Morphou did not materialise. His information was not entirely wrong, as some blood was shed in the church courtyard.
THE RESOUNDINGLY successful Athens Olympics attracted lavish praise from all over the world. The plaudits were widely reported by the Cyprus media, which waxed lyrical about Greece’s colossal achievement.
OUR first glimpses of porn were usually illicit, thrilling, and brokered via a school friend or an older cousin, a glimpse into what made the still fuzzy idea of sex so intriguing, so forbidden.
Then we grew up, and porn was — or so we liked to tell ourselves — only for spotty schoolboys or the odd raging sociopath, not ‘normal’ grown-ups, or at least, not openly.
THERE are only a handful of men left in DISY and the most courageous one wears a skirt. Kate Clerides is one of the last remaining members of DISY with guts and courage. The overwhelming majority, timid and spineless, have surrendered to populism.
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.
