Cypriots divided by July 20
EDITORIAL

Chrysochoidis’s role in success They say that success has many fathers, while failure is always an orphan. But this rule does not appear to apply to the breakup of the November 17 terrorist group - carried out at a pace reminiscent of action movies. Although it may be true that the positive developments of the last few days are the culmination of the collective efforts of a bevy of government and police officials, no unbiased observer can fail to acknowledge the decisive role played by Public Order Minister Michalis Chrysochoidis.

COMMENTARY

Electoral gains? It is only natural that rapid developments in the fight against terrorism and the apparently complete overthrow of November 17 should be the focus of political debate, with PASOK believing this achievement enough to turn the climate in its favor and the New Democracy party believing it should be fully prepared to deal with «unexpected» political developments.
