A temporary casino is expected to open by October this year. That venue is slated for shutdown when the main casino opens. The consortium, comprising Melco of Australia and Macau, Hard Rock International of the U.S. and Phasouri Limited of Cyprus will also be allowed to open several satellite casinos in the country as part of their exclusive right to operate gaming for 15 or more years.

The four satellite casinos, allowed under the bid tender, will not be large venues, with one in Nicosia expected to host some 50 slots and only five tables. The Nicosia satellite is the largest of the four per current plans.

Famagusta, Paphos, and Larnaca will host the other three satellites which will only offer electronic gaming, no Las Vegas-style table games.

The National Gaming and Casino Supervision Commission is expected to issue operating licenses to the consortium after the construction contracts have been signed and recorded later this month.

While casino’s has been operating in the Turkish-occupied northern part of the island, in the ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’ for a number of years, and generating huge incomes, the casino business has been illegal in the south, in the Republic of Cyprus.

“The opening of the embassy signals a new chapter in our relations, one that will certainly facilitate the expansion of the cooperation and interaction between our governments, our institutions and our societies,” president Anastasiades said.

“Commercial and trade ties have also expanded. It is worth noting that the well-known UAE company DP World Ltd was awarded two concession agreements for Limassol port, following a transparent international tender. I trust that this is only the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship,” he said.

Sheikh Abdullah, held a private meeting with Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides earlier in the day. Following the meeting, he expressed the willingness of the UAE to share with Cyprus their experience on the natural gas and renewable energy resources sectors but also in encouraging some of its companies to look at the opportunities in Cyprus.

“There are huge potentials here in Cyprus in areas of solar, wind, geothermic energy, as well as in gas discoveries,” the minister said.

The two countries, Sheikh Abdullah said, are working closely in examining the potentials of the renewable energy resources.
Kassoulides said that they discussed the relations between the EU and the Gulf Cooperation Council, in light of the EU-GCC Ministerial Meeting that will take place next week in Brussels, which both ministers will be attending.

“A range of issues was discussed today, focusing on regional and international developments and terrorism,” he said.

– Det er gjort betydelig framgang i forhandlingene om Kypros, men viktige spørsmål gjenstår. Det sier FNs spesialutsending Espen Barth Eide ifølge NTB, melder nrk.no

Kypros har vært delt siden Tyrkia inntok den nordlige delen sommeren 1974.  “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” er bare anerkjent av Tyrkia, mens den gresk-kypriotiske delen, Republic of Cyprus, er internasjonalt anerkjent.

Hovedstaden Nicosia er verdens eneste delte hovedstad.

Norges tidligere utenriksminister og forsvarsminister har siden 2014 vært FN’s generalsekretær Ban Ki-moon sin spesialutsending for Kypros, og leder forhandlingene mellom den gresk-kypriotiske siden og den tyrkisk-kypriotiske siden.

Kypros ble uavhengig fra Storbritannia i 1960.

Nicosia på Kypros er EUs nest sørligste hovedstad, etter Valletta på Malta. Den kypriotiske hovedstaden ligger midt inne på øya, på en slette 220 meter over havet, 30-45 minutters kjøring fra badestedene på sørkysten, som Aiya Napa, Larnaca og Limassol. Nicosia har lange, tørre somre, med stekende hete, og ingen vind. Om vinteren kan det regne mye, noe som oftte fører til flom, som nå nylig. 

Nicosia kan ha temperaturer på opp til 18 grader om vinteren, men også kjølige kvelder og kalde netter. I kveld er det 14 grader i Nicosia.

80-90 kilometer vest for Nicosia ligger Troodos-fjellene med sine skianlegg og pittoreske landsbyer.

Storm, kraftig regnvær og flom første til fullt kaos i store deler av Nicosia, hovedstaden på Kypros, i går tirsdag. Det ble fullt opp å gjøre for nødetatene i byen, som ble nedringt av trafikkanter, butikkeiere og huseiere, skriver cyprus-mail.com

-De fleste tilfellene handlet om å få pumpet vann ut fra kjellere og butikklokaler, og ikke minst fra bileiere som satt fanget i bilene sine, sier Lisa Kemidji, talsperson for hovedstadens brannvesen.

En representant for Nicosia kommune, Makis Nicolaides, sier at mye av problemene skyldes mangel på avløp og mangel fortau flere stader i byen, og at dette er noe kommunen jobber kontiniuerlig for å utbedre.

Flere gater ble stengt da elven Pedieos, som renner gjennom byen, gikk over sine bredder og forårsaket flom. Flere trær falt over strømledninger noe som førte til strømbrudd, og det ble rapportert om en rekke trafikkulykker, men ingen person skal ha blitt alvorlig skadd.

I tillegg til bysentrum ble også forstedene Latisa og Strovolos rammet av uværet.
