Serdar Denktash in hospital

Turkish Cypriot politician Serdar Denktash was taken to hospital on Thursday when he felt ‘discomfort’ during a session of the ‘parliament’.

According to the portal Haber Kibris, Denktash, 55, son of the late Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash was first taken to a public hospital in the north of Nicosia and from there to the private Near East Hospital, where he underwent an angiogram.

His attending doctors are expected to make an announcement later in the day.

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.
