BREAKING NEWS 01.DEC.08

It has been announced that the former President of Cyprus Tassos Papadopoulos has lung cancer. He has been in hospital for the past few weeks and will remain in the Intensive Care Unit of Nicosia General Hospital.



Theodoros Kyprianou, the head of Nicosia General Hospital's intensive care unit said that cancer was detected on Papadopoulos’ lungs after examinations by specialists.



"Mr Papadopoulos is aware of the diagnosis and is treating the whole problem of his health with courage and serenity," said Mr Kyprianou.



As president between 2003-08, Papadopoulos ushered the island into the European Union after rallying Greek Cypriots to reject a UN-brokered reunification plan.

good ridence to bad rubbish. The man was part of EOKA-B! He was part of an organization set up to Kill Turkish Cypriots, Greek Cypriots who were against union with Greece and the British who were against union with Greece (rightfully).
