THERE’S A place in central Nicosia that has transformed the lives of the Totoro family from Congo.
A BRITISH expat who is terminally ill with lung cancer and a brain tumor is unable to receive treatment in Cyprus because no one seems to know what his entitlements are as an EU citizen.
Sir,
My attention has been drawn to your comment in the Tales from the Coffee Shop by Patroclos (Sunday Mail, September 7), which, inter alia, refers to my office’s involvement in a case against the Church.
Sir,
Your Sunday Mail edition is much appreciated in our household. I notice that there are a number of complaining letters in your columns and I would like to add something to redress the balance.
My wife and I, both well into our Senior Citizen years (76 and 77), last year came to retire and live in this lovely country.
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.
