I never spoke to newspaper

Sir,

In your article: “Cypriot steward was stabbed by hijackers on Flight 175”, published on September 14, you are quoting me speaking to the newspaper Politis . You have been greatly misinformed.

I was never interviewed by Politis  newspaper and I never volunteered any kind of information regarding the World Trade Centre attack to Politis  for publication. And I never sent an e-mail to Politis to report on the World Trade Centre attack. It appears that Politis  newspaper has edited information from a personal  e-mail that was never addressed to the newspaper nor intended for publication.

This kind of “journalism” on behalf of Politis  newspaper can only make me sick, especially in times like this.

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.
