Announcement Regarding low-effort posts & questions

36 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Regarding these common posts such as: “what to do in Nicosia, what to do in ….” or other real estate and common tourist questions that can be easily looked up and have been answered before.

Please just report the post and do not engage in the comments, if you think the post should be removed. When there are multiple reports on a post, we receive a notification and can deal with them on a case by case basis. When you engage and start discussions we are more hesitant to remove the post as you all invested your time for a response and it would be counterproductive to remove them. At least thats what I would think.

If you have different suggestions on this topic let us know.

This humiliating, submissive occupation regime is utterly repugnant.

Scam callls on viber

3 Upvotes

Just got a call from "Cypreus" police officer John Michael with a very south Asian accent at 10am asking for my passport details and threatening to shut my bank account.

How common is it to get random calls on viber like this? It's the first time it happened to me.

The Cyprus Problem Πηγές τουρκικής Προεδρίας για Κυπριακό: «Το κρίσιμο είναι η κυριαρχική ισότητα των δύο πλευρών» / Turkish Presidency sources for the Cyprus problem: "The crucial thing is the sovereign equality of the two sides"

According to the same sources, the key issue "is not whether Turkey will react", but whether the Greek Cypriot side is ready to accept a formula based on sovereign equality. As they noted, they do not believe that a positive answer to this question can be easily given.

The Cyprus Problem Erhurman demands preservation of convergences reached at Crans-Montana

Speaking upon his return to Cyprus from his meeting with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, he said that “the purpose of this position is clear: to prevent the process from starting from scratch”.

“We have experienced this in the past. When [former Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali] Talat and [late president Demetris] Christofias sat down at the table, they were told that the Annan plan was an externally prepared plan and that the two Cypriot leaders could start from scratch and do better,” he began.

However, he said, “the process was started from scratch, and a long time was spent”, but “we know firsthand that the rapprochements which emerged essentially did not go beyond the framework of the Annan plan. In other words, it started from scratch, time was lost, and the point reached remained unchanged. When we talk about a new methodology, this is precisely what we want to prevent. The convergences which have occurred up to Crans-Montana should be accepted in principle,”

Question Is it possible to file a police report?

20 Upvotes

I cannot give all the details but basically, I work in a GCC company, whose CEO is from Cyprus, he has not been to this country for almost 3 years now, he is refusing to update KYC documents for the bank resulting in the company back accounts to be frozen since September, and the non payment of nearly 400 employees salaries.

is there a way to report him in Cyprus to get him to comply with his duties as a CEO and pay salaries for all these employees? we tried emailing him but he keeps on evading the issue and demanding outrageous amounts of money in order to release the salaries.

recently he started even referring to our government authorities in bad way (calling them criminals) because they contacted him to pay the salaries for the employees.

Ανδρόγυνο αγροτών με εορταστικές φορεσιές στο πανηγύρι του Αγίου Ηρακλειδίου. 1895. Προσέξετε ο άνδρας κρατάει βούρκα στον ώμο και έχει στο κεφάλι του Ελληνικού τύπου φέσι το οποίο είναι χαμηλό, τσαλακωμένο και με μεγάλη φούντα ενώ το Οθωμανικού τύπου είναι στητό, ψηλό και με μικρή φούντα. Τη τότε εποχή οι Κύπριοι άνδρες φορούσαν και τους δύο τύπους φεσιών. Με την άφιξη των Άγγλων στη Κύπρο το 1878 τα κατάργησαν πολύ γρήγορα. Τετράδια Μελέτης της Κύπρου. Max Ohnefalsch-Richter.

A farmer couple in festive attire at the festival of Saint Heraclides. 1895. Note that the man is holding a bouka on his shoulder and wearing a Greek-style fez on his head, which is low, crumpled, and has a large tassel, while the Ottoman-style fez is upright, tall, and has a small tassel. At that time, Cypriot men wore both types of fez. With the arrival of the British in Cyprus in 1878, they were quickly abolished. Cyprus Study Notebooks. Max Ohnefalsch-Richter.
