The Cyprus Mail is the only

English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. Established in 1945, it is published every day except Monday, and most of the local articles are available on its website.[1]

History

With the demise of the

independent political position and to have no local political affiliations, it is widely regarded as a politically conservative and right-leaning publication.[2]

In its early years, the Cyprus Mail was the main rival to the Cyprus Times, another English-language newspaper founded in Cyprus during the

Cyprus dispute and supported the controversial 2004 Annan Plan, which led to allegations of anti-Greek bias and of "normalizing" the Turkish occupation in the northern part of the island.[4]

Ownership

The newspaper was purchased in 2019 by Andreas Neocleous, a lawyer and former EOKA member who was previously found guilty of bribing deputy attorney general Rikos Erotokritou.[5] Criticism came when articles referring to his conviction were removed from the website of the newspaper the day after ownership of the newspaper changed.[5]
