This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

;DISY
The first candidate who confirmed the intention to be the candidate of his party was [[Democratic Rally|DISY]]'s Nicos Anastasiades on 11 February 2012 at the Pancypriot Convention of the party. The Supreme Council of DISY (on 17 March) had to choose between Nicos Anastasiades and [[Member of the European Parliament|MEP]], [[Eleni Theocharous]]. The council voted in favour of Nicos Anastasiades with 673 votes (86.73%) and Eleni Theocharous with 103 votes (13.27%).<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykFX78cn5Uc |title=Supreme Council of DISY |via=YouTube |date=2012-03-17 |accessdate=2013-02-25))</ref>

;AKEL
When president Christofias decided not to be seeking re-election for February 2013, in late July [[AKEL]]'s Central Committee decided to suggest Minister of Health [[Stavros Malas]] to be the candidate of the party. On 21 July 2012 the Pancypriot Convention of AKEL voted in favour of Stavros Malas with 1183 votes (92.3%), against 81 (6.3%) and 17 abstentions (1.3%). Stavros Malas confirmed his candidacy with the support of AKEL on 7 September. On 15 October he resigned as Minister of Health .

;Coalition attempt – EDEK
After a failed attempt by [[DIKO]], [[European Party (Cyprus)|Evroko]], [[Ecological and Environmental Movement]] and [[EDEK]] to form a coalition, known as Intermediate political space (gr:Ενδιάμεσος πολιτικός χώρος- Endiamesos politikos horos), [[EDEK]] decided to back independent candidate [[Giorgos Lillikas]] ( who had already confirmed his candidacy on 6 April) on 27 July at the Central Committee of the party.

;DIKO
DIKO had two plans on the table. The first was to back Nicos Anastasiades and the second to back a candidate from DIKO. After the talks on 30 August between Nicos Anastasiades and the president of DIKO [[Marios Garoyian]], the two leaders agreed for cooperation. On 25 September the Executive Bureau of DIKO officially suggested the Central Committee to back Anastasiades. At the Central Committee on 27 September 117 members voted in-favour of Anastasiades (81.9%), 27 against and 2 abstained.<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.sigmalive.com/files/filefield/8/0/2/simerini_16092012.pdf|title=Archived copy|access-date=16 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131117134909/http://www.sigmalive.com/files/filefield/8/0/2/simerini_16092012.pdf|archive-date=17 November 2013|url-status=dead)) Page 11 DEAL between DIKO and DISY</ref> The two parties had also talks with other parties such as Evroko and the Ecological and Environmental Movement to create and broaden a coalition of "National Unity".

;Evroko
Evroko was between to choose either Anastasiades or Lillikas. On 27 September (DIKO's decision day) president of Evroko [[Demetris Syllouris]], had talks with Nicos Anastasiades and most possible scenario was to back DISY. Although, on 17 October Evroko's Executive Bureau decided not to back any of the candidates.<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.sigmalive.com/files/filefield/3/8/8/Simerini18102012.pdf|title=Archived copy|access-date=18 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021004129/http://www.sigmalive.com/files/filefield/3/8/8/Simerini18102012.pdf|archive-date=21 October 2012|url-status=dead)) Executive Bureau says NO to back a presidential candidate</ref> At the Central Council, on 3 November, it had to be decided either the acceptance of EB's decision or denial. 75% of the members of the party voted in-favour of EB's decision and 25% against. The members can vote any of the two candidates (Lillikas-Anastasiades) they want.

;Ecological and Environmental Movement
The Movement's Convention was held on 7 October. The members had the opportunity to decide which candidate would be backed by the Movement. The results were split between Lillikas and Anastasiades. Lillikas got 45% and Anastasiades 40%. An electoral conference was scheduled to be held on 4 November where the decision was going to be determined. The Movement would back the candidate who obtained 60% of the vote. Although no candidate obtained 60% of the vote and so the voters of the Movement can vote any of the candidates they want.(like Evroko did)

==Candidates and supporting parties==
Eleven candidates were approved to participate in the elections. Each candidate had to be recommended by one Cypriot citizen and supported by eight more.

==Announcements of support for the second round==
;Evroko
After the elimination of Giorgos Lillikas in the first round, Evroko decided to back Nicos Anastasiades.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.sigmalive.com/simerini/politics/reportaz/553759 |title=Πάει γι' Αναστασιάδη το ΕΥΡΩΚΟ |publisher=Sigma Live |date=2013-02-19 |accessdate=2013-02-25))</ref>

;Ecological and Environmental Movement
The Movement chose to keep the first decision.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130221063541/http://www.onlycy.com/294280-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%AC-%CE%B2%CE%BF%CF%8D%CE%BB%CE%B7%CF%83%CE%B7-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%B9-%CF%83%CF%84%CE%BF-2%CE%BF-%CE%B3%CF%8D%CF%81%CE%BF-%CE%BF%CE%B9-%CE%BF%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%BF%CE%BB%CF%8C%CE%B3%CE%BF Κατά βούληση και στο 2ο γύρο οι Οικολόγοι<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

;EDEK
When Lillikas didn't pass to the second round, the Executive Bureau decided not to endorse any of the remaining candidates. In contrast with EDEK, the [[Party of European Socialists]] (mother European political party of EDEK) endorsed Malas.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ikypros.com/easyconsole.cfm/id/64821 |title=Υπέρ της υποψηφιότητας του Σταύρου Μαλά το Ευρωπαϊκό Σοσιαλιστικό Κόμμα |publisher=iKypros |accessdate=2013-02-25 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130411035914/http://www.ikypros.com/easyconsole.cfm/id/64821 |archive-date=11 April 2013 |url-status=dead ))</ref> This endorsement brought anger to some EDEK's MP.

;Orthodox Church of Cyprus
The Archbishop of the Church of Cyprus, [[Chrysostomos II of Cyprus|Chrysostomos II]], endorsed Nicos Anastasiades at the second round.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.kathimerini.gr/4dcgi/_w_articles_kathremote_1_21/02/2013_483993 |title=Κύπρος: Ο αρχιεπίσκοπος Χρυσόστομος υποστηρίζει το Νίκο Αναστασιάδη |publisher=kathimerini.gr |accessdate=2013-02-25))</ref>

==Main topics==

===Debates===
[[Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation]] had talks with all the spokespersons of the candidates. Lillikas and Malas wanted four debates, three before the first round and one before the second. Anastasiades wanted three (two for the first round and one for the second) because he believed that four debates would "harm the image" of the candidates. In a meeting with spokespersons of four large Cypriot media networks (Mega, ANT1, Sigma, RIK), it was proposed to hold five debates. In two debates all candidates would participate. The other three debates would be double, which means that they would be between two participants (Anastasiades-Malas, Malas-Lillikas, Anastasiades-Lillikas).<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.philenews.com/AssetService/Image.ashx?t=3&iid=1475 |title=Debates -Phileleftheros newspaper |accessdate=2013-02-25))</ref> However, on 7 November it was decided that three debates were going to be held before the first round and one before a possible second round.<ref>[http://www.sigmalive.com/files/filefield/5/6/8/Simerini08112012.pdf Decision for the debates]((dead link|date=December 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref>

The debates were held on 14 and 28 January and 11 February. The fourth and last presidential debate was held on 22 February. The structure of the debates was:
* First presidential debate's subject of discussion was the [[Economy of Cyprus|Cypriot economy]].
* Second presidential debate's subject of discussion was the [[Cyprus dispute]].
* The third presidential debate's subject was the economy and domestic affairs of the island.
* 2-hour-long debates.
* 20-second-long questions and 2-minute-long answers. Furthermore, journalists could ask a 15-second-long sub-question and candidates had 30-second-long answers.
* At the end of each section candidates had a minute to comment other candidates' positions.

===Guinness World Records logo dispute===
On 29 January, the independent candidate [[Andreas Efstratiou]] was accused (by an anonymous citizen) of using the logo of Guinness World Records without the permission of the corporation.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.kathimerini.com.cy/index.php?pageaction=kat&modid=1&artid=119808 |title=Gaffe with the ballot slips |publisher=Kathimerini.com.cy |date=2013-01-20 |accessdate=2013-02-25))</ref> The logo was printed on the ballot slip of the election. Efstratiou has been a holder of a Guinness World Record since 2007, when he created the longest wedding-gown train in the world. All the 545,180 ballot slips were destroyed and new ballot slips, without the logo, were printed. It was announced that €40,000 were wasted. The Central Electoral Service asked Efstratiou to pay at least €15,000. He refused, stating that he had 8 children and cannot afford the cost.

On 24 February, Nicos Anastasiades won the presidential election with 57.48% of the vote;<ref>((cite news|title=Final results: conservative Anastasiades wins Cyprus presidential election with 57.48 percent|date=24 February 2013|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/final-results-conservative-anastasiades-wins-cyprus-presidential-election-with-5748-percent/2013/02/24/b23c75f0-7ea7-11e2-a671-0307392de8de_story.html|accessdate=24 February 2013))((dead link|date=June 2021|bot=medic))((cbignore|bot=medic))</ref> his opponent Stavros Malas received the remaining 42.52%.  Of 545,000 eligible voters, 412,000 cast a ballot for one of the two candidates.  In addition, the 81% turnout was lower than expected.<ref name=Reuters /> It is believed that many people cast blank ballots or refused to vote out of protest.<ref name=VOA /> A week earlier, Anastasiades had won 45% of the first round vote with Malas receiving 27%, necessitating a second round of voting since no candidate received a strong majority of the votes. In that round, Giorgos Lillikas won 24% of the vote and eight minor candidates received under 1% each.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ekloges.gov.cy |title=Cypriot Government |publisher=Ekloges.gov.cy |accessdate=2013-02-25 |archive-date=31 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130731020136/http://www.ekloges.gov.cy/ |url-status=dead ))</ref>
