Christofias: I have no personal responsibility for incident

 

President Demetris Christofias has denied personal responsibility for a deadly munitions blast in July, saying a state-appointed investigator who had blamed him had no evidence.              

“The President of the Republic categorically denies that he has personal responsibility for the incident,” he said.          

“This conclusion (by the investigator) is not substantiated by evidence or the material which was submitted to the board of inquiry. On the contrary,” Christofias said in a statement.

 

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.
