August 2005: Greek air-accident investigation committee, headed by Akrivos Tsolakis, starts interviewing people in Cyprus linked to the August 14 tragedy.
ANDROULLA Ierokipioti adored Kouki, her two-year-old Cyprus poodle terrier cross, but the pair’s happy relationship resulted in great sadness after Androulla began full time work in a restaurant.
Sir,
I wrote to your paper a few months ago regarding a terribly tragic story of a young girl who had been sexually abused by her father, and her incredibly heroic mother who was struggling to keep her cherished daughter away from this sick animal of a man.
Sir,
I was so infuriated this morning that I had to write to you!
Sir,
The article by Bejay Browne on the noise created by the plague of quad bikes was excellent, but does not go far enough (Cyprus Mail, August 1). It is not just in the outlying villages that this menace is rampant, as most of Kato Paphos is similarly affected.
Sir,

WATER cuts imposed earlier this year have managed to reduce total consumption by almost a quarter.

MOST OF my family elders went to heaven in their 90s in the middle of summer, when 40C and dust made it difficult to breathe. We smokers know this at 60 – never mind 90 – not that we’ve an iceblock’s chance in hell of ever getting there.
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.
