Yes... he has been saying he was going to do that for several months. He said that he will make more money by simply charging a €1 rousfeti fee for every employee hired by the government :mrgreen:

On behalf of the new cabinet, new Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides pointed out the need for a high sense of responsibility, and zero tolerance of mismanagement.
“The ministerial post should not be considered as a privilege but a call for service,” he said. “Hard work, diligence and creativity await us.”
He referred to the pay cut of 25 per cent that Anastasiades has decided for himself. “We willingly follow with the reductions you have already announced,” he said.

...everyday he seems to be doing something to demonstrate he will not go along with the practices of the past, (and that Cyprus is as important to him as being Greek).

from the same article:
Outside during a wreath-laying ceremony at the statue of Cyprus’ first president, Archbishop Makarios III, Anastasiades announced that the emblem of the Republic of Cyprus would be placed above the British escutcheon which still adorns the entrance to the palace from British colonial times.

I get my news from many sources, I like to know what is going on in the whole of Cyprus not just the unoccupied south, what's your problem with that?

Time to lighten up Sotos, here's some more news for you, just so you know what's going on in your part of the world, it's a good example of how your enemy treats its friends. I find it quite funny.

German soldiers in the shit in Turkey.
