House honours war dead with two minutes silence

The House of Representatives on Thursday marked International Day Against Fascism, and Remembrance Day for the victims of the two World Wars, by observing two minutes of silence during the plenary session.#

President of the House Yiannakis Omirou referred to International Day Against Fascism honoured on November 9, and Remembrance Day honoured on November 11, saying “the violent regional conflicts and extremist religious, racist and nationalistic movements, which resort to the use of weapons and engage in atrocities and cruelties, must awaken us”.
He referred to “the fluidity and tension in the world today” and noted that International Day Against Fascism and Remembrance Day “could and must act as a stimulant for humanity, so as not to allow the revival of the nightmare of fascism and war”.

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.
