Road safety: the only cure is care

2004-09-19

Sir,

Almost daily, we read or hear of accidents and deaths on our roads.

At any moment, someone somewhere, will receive a knock at the door, or a telephone call, and their lives will be changed forever because their loved one will not be coming home. From that moment they start a life sentence of loss and grief. Their loved one becomes another statistic.

I am writing to express my great disappointment with most of the Greek-Cypriot journalists who are given the opportunity to interview Turkish Cypriot politicians.

Tired of all the criticism

2004-09-19

Sir,

I am a Cypriot who was born in South Africa and have been living in Cyprus for the last 10 years. Initially, I used to quietly listen to English and South African expats moan and criticise Cyprus and the Cypriots. I have now reached a stage where I am tired and irritated by this disgruntled attitude.

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.
