I DO NOT know if the hacks of CyBC have instructions from their new comrade chairman, an AKEL apparatchik, to make the comrade presidente’s declarations the main story on every news bulletin on Trito radio, but in the last week he must have got more mentions than Colonel Gaddafi gets on Libyan state radio.
VANITY plays no role in Soulla Elia’s nightmare. She was never happy with the size of her nose but only decided to take action when her two young adult sons needed surgery to correct nasal-related breathing problems. They wanted nose reductions at the same time, so Soulla decided to join them.

In case of a settlement in Cyprus, the only guarantee for the unification should only be the EU. Who else is there?

Last week’s tornado saw our socialist government scrambling to hand money out those people whose cars and homes were hit by uprooted trees and shrubs.
This is all good and well, but who will compensate the rest of us in the city, who have lost our green spaces and shade in the aftermath? I have heard no talk of replanting.

The recent leaked document claiming that Greek Cypriots are not pulling their weight over a ‘Cyprus solution’ should make politicians sit up and ponder. What is the likely effect of a breakdown in talks? Since many observers believe that if Talat and Christofias cannot engineer a solution then no one can, one has to say that we are now in the ‘last chance saloon’.

INTERIOR MINISTER Neoclis Sylikiotis yesterday slated the massive police sweep against illegal immigrants in old Nicosia on Friday, saying it reinforced the view of “xenophobia and racism in our society”.

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.
