Another example of institutionalised racism?

Sir,

The Nicosia Mayor says considerations like car parking and noise pollution must be taken into consideration when granting a licence for a Buddhist temple in Nicosia (Buddhists left in limbo, Cyprus Mail, December 23).

Most Orthodox churches on the island have no car parking facilities, and make a lot more noise than a Buddhist temple would.

Is this another example of the institutionalised racism which seems to permeate everything in Cyprus?

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.
