Cyprus Mail, the English language daily in the South, reports on the attack on the Afrika journal offices in the North. Hard not to feel that there is a certain amount of censorious satisfaction in the lack of decorum displayed in the North, possibly down to the inevitable use of "prime minister" and "parliament" in quotation marks, to indicate that the South regards the position and institution as illegitimate. Only slightly less clumsy than the television news standard use of "so-called" for TRNC political titles.
