Cyprus Now Forum: Challenges Facing Cyprus-NOW



What did you think this thread was about exactly?

My guess is that most of you probably thought “The challenge is to get more members. duh!”. Whatever your thoughts or expectations coming here were, fact is that member participation should be a concern and the focus for any young community.

However in my eyes there are other, less obvious but equally important challenges facing the Cyprus-Now community.

Facebook: Cyprus has a strong Facebook culture and a weak affiliation with forums. We need to have structure that can overcome obstacles as seen from the point of view of an average Cypriot who is already a Facebook user. We’re not mainly competing against Cyprus based forums but also against social media, TV and the Internet.[...] Read more in Cyprus Now

Indictments For Mari Explosion Presented To Court

mari explosion

The indictments of eight people accused for manslaughter on charges of causing death through negligence, neglect of official duty and acts that caused bodily harm in the deadly explosion at Evangelos Florakis naval base in Mari were presented to the court in Larnaca this morning., amid protests by relatives for what they consider an inexcusable delay. 

The tragedy - in which 13 men died – took place eight months ago and the Attorney General had announced his decision for the indictments almost two months ago.

Indictments have been issued against former foreign minister Markos Kyprianou, former defence minister Kostas Papakostas, former army chief Petros Tsalikides, assistant army chief Savvas Argyros, and officer George Georgiades, along with the chief and deputy chief of the fire service Andreas Nikolaou and Charalambos Charalambous and the commander of EMAK, Andreas Loizides.

Clerides had not take the recommendation of an earlier investigation by a government-appointed committee led by Polys Polyviou to indict President Demetris Christofias for his personal and political involvement in the deadly explosion, but the Supreme Court will start deliberations on waiving President Demetris Christofias’ immunity to prosecution at May 3rd, after lawyers Dimitris Araouzos and Anastasios Antoniou representing the Ioannidis family, Christos Triantafyllidis representing the Theophilou family and Lukas Loucaides representing the Heracleous family have presented a case against him.[...] Read more in Cyprus Now

ΠΑΝΟΣ ΙΩΑΝΝΙΔΗΣ- Εθνικό Συμβούλιο και ΔΔΟ



ΠΑΝΟΣ ΙΩΑΝΝΙΔΗΣ- Εθνικό Συμβούλιο και ΔΔΟ

Ο νομικός Κος Ιωαννίδης, ξεσκεπάζει όλη την αλήθεια πίσω από το δήθεν “Εθνικό” και δήθεν “Συμβούλιο” της Κύπρου. Μόλις ακούσετε την ομιλία του, θα καταλάβετε αμέσως πως και γιατί τα πράγματα έφθασαν σε αυτό το τραγικό σημείο που έφθασαν στο Κυπριακό χωρίς κανένας να ξέρει τι είδους λύση θέλει στο Κυπριακό. Με μόνη εξαίρεση την διακυβέρνηση Τάσσου Παπαδόπουλου, όλες οι υπόλοιπες Κυβερνήσεις αρχίζοντας με αυτήν του Γιώρου Βασιλείου, του Κληρίδη , και σήμερα του Χριστόφια, σπρώχνουν συνειδητά το Κυπριακό στο τέλμα, και την Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία στην αυτοκατάργηση…..

Christofias: Cyprus belongs to the Cypriots and to no one else



Cyprus belongs to the Cypriots and to no one else, President Demetris Christofias stressed Thursday commenting on statements by Turkish Minister of EU Affairs and Chief Negotiator Egemen Bagis statements about the possibility of integrating Cyprus’ Turkish occupied areas to Turkey.

Addressing an event, organized in Nicosia on the occasion of the International Women’s Day, Christofias underlined that the Greek Cypriot side has shown good will for a settlement the soonest possible, adding that this does not however mean that we will grant to anyone the right to impose a settlement.

He said that a solution will be accepted only if is functional and viable the settlement and it reunites the country, its people, the institutions and the economy, and it must be based on the international and the European law and must secure the human rights and the fundamental freedoms of Cypriot citizens.

“It must be a settlement that will provide for a bizonal, bicommunal federation with political equality as defined by the relevant UN Security Council resolutions, with a single state, a single and undivided sovereignty, a single personality and a single citizenship,” he noted.[...] Read more in Cyprus Now

President’s Immunity Deliberation at Supreme Court Delayed

supreme court delays presidential immunity decision

The Supreme Court has postponed its deliberations on waiving President Demetris Christofias’ immunity to prosecution until May 3rd, citing Attorney-general Petros Clerides’ change in position on the issue.

The proceedings were started after the deaths of 13 men in an explosion at Evangelos Florakis naval base on July 11th, 2011. An investigation into the explosion carried out by lawyer Polys Polyviou found that the president and two members of his cabinet were directly and personally responsible for delays in deciding what to do with the 98 containers which exploded at the naval base. The containers were confiscated in January 2009 while they were en route to Syria from Iran in contravention of UN sanctions against Iran.

During Polyviou’s investigation, damning evidence came to light that Christofias promised Syrian president Bashar al-Assad that the confiscated weapons would not leave Cyprus, and would possibly be returned to him, and that this policy resulted in fatal delays in removing or destroying the explosives.[...] Read more in Cyprus Now
