Check FAQAbout Michael
I’m a Cyprus-based Middle East correspondent, reporting on the region since 1989. I have extensive broadcasting experience with LBC, IRN, National Public Radio and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. I’ve had 1,100 stories published in The Times (London) and also written for The Observer, The Christian Science Monitor, The Daily Mail, The Scotsman and The National (Abu Dhabi). In recent years I’ve focused on Iran, which I’ve visited 14 times since 1993.
Portfolio
I recently compiled and wrote most of this special background briefing on efforts to reunify Cyprus since 1974. There are profiles of the main players in the current negotiations and of those involved in previous settlement attempts. There are concise, factual guides to earlier peace plans, a useful chronology of events going back to 1955, maps and features. You will also see photographs of Varosha before and after it became the world’s biggest ghost town plus a video of Nicosia International Airport.
