THREE CHEERS for the Cyprus University’s senate which gave a two-finger salute to the tyranny of the unions that has plagued this country for three decades and has led it to the brink of moral, economic and intellectual bankruptcy.
THE legal stakes are about to be raised in the title deeds scandal, as a case will be brought before the High Court in London in the coming weeks by property-owners in Cyprus who are still without their title-deeds. All of them are facing additional – and in their view unjustified – financial demands and/or the risk of losing their property.
JUNE and Richard Cameron, Margit and Eric Whitishall along with four other local residents have lived in Paphos for years, all enjoying a quiet, stress-free lifestyle in what was once a quiet residential complex.

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.
