Petrol strike over

PETROL STATION owners have opened their outlets following a meeting with Trade and Industry Minister Antonis Paschalides.
“Stations are already open and people are being served,” the association chairman Stefanos Stefanou told the Cyprus Mail.
“We decided to show goodwill first, seeing the inconvenience it caused the public,” he added.
The pump owners decided to shut down their outlets on Monday after the government issued an order putting cap on prices.

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.
