Sir,
I am writing in response to the letter by Panos Gregory (‘Ethnic separation: a recipe for conflict’, Tuesday, February 22).

Sir,
I do sympathise with my fellow UK and EU citizens the Orams, who now face recourse in English courts for buying stolen property in occupied Cyprus.
But surely Mrs Orams’ suggestion that the rightful refugee owner should, after over 30 years of hurt, simply ‘move on’ is as naive as her decision to buy land on the cheap in an illegal regime.

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.
