The questions raised here were questions that should have been raised when Cyprus was applying to join the EU (and later the Euro) rather than as the whole thing was collapsing. Describing them as "questions", even, is too charitable, because it is not like anyone didn't know the answers already. Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09197909058431076608noreply@blogger.com
