Turkish-Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat... Turkish-Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat (center) takes a walk on the Greek-Cypriot side of Ledra Street in Nicosia yesterday for the first time since his childhood.
EDITORIAL

Time to claim our cities back The cities of Greece have become unbearable places to live. There's nowhere to walk. Sidewalks are dirty and narrow and are under siege. Parents cannot take their children out in their strollers. Wheelchair-bound individuals are imprisoned in their own homes because they can't move about outside. The elderly are at the mercy of traffic. Municipal authorities and the traffic police are mere observers of the unlawfulness that has created this situation.

COMMENTARY

The poor also need a voice It was last July that the credit crisis began in the USA. It quickly made its way across the Atlantic and the Pacific to take root in Europe and Asia, slowing growth rates of the real economy. Since then, international media have presented hundreds of reports, articles and analyses in an effort to provide some answers to the growing concern by citizens in developed countries that a global financial crisis is imminent and that we are at risk of losing everything we have worked so hard for.
