April Fools’ agreement?

UN envoy Alvaro de Soto was looking refreshed during his news conference on Thursday, despite three days of shuttling through the snow trying to bang heads. He had not lost his sense of humour and came up with a few witticisms for the press. Admitting Burgenstock was like a prison, the Peruvian diplomat said he must be the warden. At the end of the news conference he was asked when everyone would be leaving Burgenstock: “April Fools’ Day would be a good time,” he replied.

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.
