Divided between the Republic of Cyprus & the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, this island needs the unity offered in Christ. Bless the work of the Logos & Bridge Christian bookshops.
Cyprus elected a new President for the Republic on February 24, 2013. Conservative candidate and head of the DISY party, Nicos Anastasiades, won the Cyprus presidency by one of the widest margins in decades, taking 57.48% of the vote. Anastasiades, the seventh president of the Republic, will face the challenging task of implementing reforms, modernizing the state and steering the country out of an economic crisis.
