Happy and a (not too) prosperous New Year to Cyprus

May 2004 bring happiness, love and unity to Cyprus. The people deserve it.

Be careful do not kill the Goose that lays the Golden Eggs (Tourism and expats, not forgetting the Cypriot consumer): small long-term profits will prove much better than the greedy fast buck which has taken off over the past three years (bars, restaurants, supermarkets, domestic appliances, exchange rates). People will not be caught twice.
Cyprus is still one of the best places in the world to live, don’t spoil it.

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.
