18 July 2008 27 June 2008 Cyprus Weekly 24 June 2008 28 April 2008 Christian Post The last church standing in north Cyprus: how the Christian history was erased "One lone church struggles to survive in a land where hundreds have been damaged or destroyed. But this is no ordinary land; it is the very ground where Apostle Paul took his first missionary journey to proclaim salvation through Jesus Christ to the Roman Empire." 24 April 2008 London Review of Books The Divisions of Cyprus "Cyprus is, in truth, an anomaly in the new Europe. Not, however, for reasons Brussels cares to dwell on. This is an EU member-state a large part of which is under long-standing occupation by a foreign army. Behind tanks and artillery, a population of settlers has been planted that is relatively more numerous than the settlers on the West Bank, without a flicker of protest from the Council or Commission. From its territory are further subtracted – not leased, but held in eminent domain – military enclaves three times the size of Guantánamo, under the control of a fellow member of the EU, the United Kingdom." 15 April 2008 Guardian Bones don't speak "For two years, the UN has been exhuming mass graves across Cyprus, reviving harrowing memories of the bloodshed in which 2,000 Greek and Turkish Cypriots disappeared without trace.

'Three generations of my family were rounded up' 17 March 2008 Famagusta Gazette Crisis for northern Cyprus property market "A title deed crisis appears to be brewing in the occupied areas of northern Cyprus. The revelation comes after a Turkish Cypriot daily newspaper reported that local commercial banks are now refusing to recognise title deeds issued by the northern Cyprus "government"." March 2008 Modern Gov Lobbying to return "Some 33 years since Turkey invaded his country, Kyriacos Christodoulou, ex-coordinator of Lobby for Cyprus tells his story, and explains what the lobby is doing to raise its profile." 29 February 2008 Cyprus Weekly The President’s priorities "DEMETRIS Christofias placed emphasis on two main issues in his inaugural speech before the House of Representatives yesterday." 19 February 2008 Overseas Property Professional Mortgage broker pulls its N Cyprus product after complaints "“Irish citizens considering the purchase of property in the northern part of Cyprus, which is not under the effective control of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, are strongly advised to seek qualified independent legal advice due to potential claims related to title and ownership from Cypriots displaced from that area in 1974, which may lead to serious financial and legal repercussions”" |
