Paradox
true
fact
by switching the truth values of the hypothesis and conclusion, it is called the contrapositive of the original statement. The contrapositive of a true conditional statement will also be true, while the contrapositive of a false conditional statement will also be false.
This question is unanswerable. How can a "statement of truth" be made which "is not true". Truth does not change. It cannot be that something was true when it was said and later it became untrue.

For the statement to be true it would need to have a positive truth value. A positive truth value cannot be derived from such ambiguous terms as we see here. Therefore, the statement is not true.

True. The first statement is true and the second statement is false. In a disjunction, if either statement is true, the disjunction is true.
The statement seems absurd to me.
a statement that seems contradictory but may be true
The comment or assertion 'all truth is relative' is self-defeating in several ways which are similar although stated a little differently. If truth is relative then the statement that truth is relative cannot itself be absolute and therefore true objectively. Also, as correctly suggested in the question 'truth is relative' is itself a self-contradictory absolute statement which cannot be true if truth is indeed relative.
