Editor's Greetings

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the second edition of the World of Cyprus - The Kypros-Net Newsletter. 

We have a number of articles which, we hope, you will find both topical and relevant.  Sofronis Clerides continues his series on economic subjects, dealing with the efficacy of automatic cost-of-living adjustments as practiced in Cyprus.  Tassos Kyriakides presents a personal narrative from an individual who has experienced both the dislocation caused by the Turkish invasion and a public health disaster.  Peter Gavriel examines the response of some Turkish Cypriots and some Greek Cypriots to inter-communal loss of life. Nicos Nicolaou  provides updated information about the Small States of Europe Games. 

We inaugurate two new features. As our first "Guest Article" we present to you the speech delivered by the Cypriot Minister of Agriculture, natural resources and environment, Mr.Costas Petrides, at the "Nineteenth special session of the United Nations General Assembly for the review and appraisal of agenda 21".  We, also, present to you a "Chronology" of events that took place since our last edition.

We hope  you will find the results of our efforts stimulating and invite you to join the conversation.

Peter Gavriel
Editor in Chief, "The World Of Cyprus"
