Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
NICOSIA — Cyprus’ Justice Minister says authorities have arrested a 28-year-old Austrian man on suspicion of having links to terrorist organizations.
Ionas Nicolaou told the Associated Press Aug. 5 that Cypriot authorities received a tip-off from Poland’s Interpol that the man was seeking to come to Cyprus after Polish authorities deported him.
The Muslim convert was arrested Aug. 4 as he tried to cross from the divided island’s breakaway Turkish Cypriot north into the internationally recognized, Greek Cypriot south. He had flown into the country from Constantinople.
The man was on a watch list of individuals known to have been radicalized. He told police he wanted to come to Cyprus to pray at a mosque where it’s said the Prophet Mohammed’s aunt is buried.
Nicolaou said the man will be deported to Austria.
