OUR BUNGLING rulers were given a bit of a jolt by the public support offered to the “northern part of Cyprus” and Turkey’s action plan by Russian President Vladimir Putin, just a week after our Ethnarch’s triumphant Moscow visit, during which The Prez had clearly and persuasively explained our side’s positions to Mr Putin.

This amazing talent captured many of the hearts across Australia over the past two weeks with both his professional style of play and his wonderful personality.
Sir,
When I inquired of a mainland Greek why Greek Cypriot footballers were not permitted to play in the Greek national team I was told that only Greek born Greeks possessed that right.

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.
