SEVERAL volumes of the works of poet, educationalist, researcher and wit Pavlos Xioutas, are being offered by Haravghi newspaper to its readers. Xioutas, who passed away in 1991, is very highly regarded by the commies of AKEL, but do not ask why, because I heard of him for the first time on a radio advertisement promoting the Haravghi offer. I suspect he may have been a bit of a leftie.

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.
