this makes very interesing reading about the state of democracy in cyprus. particularly what president of the repbublic called 24% of cypriots who voted yes in 2004. if this is democracy allowed in the eu, what hope do we have? it is in this environment that the vote of 2004 was taken and it is this environment that the vote in 2017 will be held. The President may not say the same things but the media and the archbishop will. "we are doomed" springs to mind.
