EDITORIAL

Giannakou’s next step The measure of every politician is effectiveness. Politicians are elected to be of help to the country and its citizens and they should stay in office as long as they can fulfill the public mandate. The public mandate to the conservative governments by definition coincides with New Democracy's promises: radical reforms in all sectors, particularly that of education. But the government's reform campaign appears to have fallen through because of the poor handling of those assigned the task.

COMMENTARY

A new power balance Turkey's stubborn refusal to sign the so-called Ankara protocol to extend a customs union to the European Union's 10 newcomers, which would grant Cypriot ships and airplanes access its ports and airports, is turning out to be the biggest obstacle on the neighboring country's path to membership of the bloc. Turkey's EU troubles have brought smiles to those who have been reluctant to see the predominantly Muslim nation enter the union because of their own domestic political concerns.
