Expats, go with the flow

Sir,
Bravo to Nitsa Roussot (letters to the Editor, September 19).I am in complete agreement with her comments and at times, particularly when unwillingly I find myself in the company of the whingeing expatriates, I feel ashamed to be British.

There is a price to pay for saying ‘no’

Sir,
There is nothing wrong with 76 per cent of Greek Cypriots exercising their democratic rights, as long as those 76 per cent know that there are consequences for every action.

Some Greek Cypriots, however, believe that being EU citizens means that they can impose their own kind of solution and that the Turkish Cypriots would be foolish enough to accept as they as so poor.

Raising a very pertinent issue

Sir,
I am appalled to see the response to the balanced analysis made in Mr B.H. Lait’s article of September 5, in which be accurately tracked the escalation of supermarket retail prices in Cyprus post-EU accession.

Offensive remarks to not contribute to reunification

Sir,

The misinformed remarks by Mr Xenophontos about Turkish Cypriots (‘Same old tune from most Turkish Cypriots’, letters to the editor, Sunday Mail, September 19) are not helpful in the present period where both communities are beginning to mix again.

How can this man have been a race relations officer?

Sir,

I feel I must reply to the angry letter from N Xenophontos of Larnaca.
I find it difficult to believe how a person who makes sweeping generalisations about a whole people based on their ethnicity could have ever been a race relations officer.
If we need to recruit people for similar posts in a future united Cyprus, please do not apply Mr Xenophontos!

Reasons for tourist decline

Sir,
Referring to the headline in Thursday’s paper (‘Dire warning as tourism slumps’) I would like to raise a few points from a tourist perspective.

Do the Americans take us for fools?

Sir,
The US State Departments’ recent “notification” regarding US arms deployed in the Republic of Cyprus is outrageous. The Turkish armed forces have been using US-made weapons to occupy the northern part of Cyprus, in violation of US laws since the invasion.

Stop trying to change Cyprus into little England

Sir,
I would like to react to the comments by Nitsa Roussot (Letters to the editor, September 19). I’ve been living in Cyprus now for over 10 years I come from Holland and a married with a Cypriot and have three kids.
