THE CHAIRMAN of the House Commerce Committee yesterday called on the state to take all necessary measures to secure the property rights of Cypriot residents in the British Sovereign Base areas.

"WE FEEL we are doing something right. An act of duty; an act of faith to architecture, culture and history; an act of love for Famagusta and Cyprus.” Such is the outlook of those who are working for the restoration of ancient Famagusta, in the words of its mayor Alexis Galanos.

THE authorities have assured that the island has enough electricity-generating capacity even if there is an extended summer heatwave combined with problems at the Vasiliko power station.
