The nerve of some…

The reactions last week to the Turkish musicians’ involvement with the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra should come as no surprise. Apparently it’s okay for Turks of whatever hue to come to Cyprus, as long as they are working on building sites; and in the hotel industry, but surely not to be seen onstage in full view of the Cypriot public. And to be applauded after their performance, no less; the shock and the horror of it all!

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.
