Greek/English/Nat
Riot police turned back hundreds of Greek Cypriot refugees on Saturday who tried to drive to their occupied homes in the Turkish north.
The refugees didn't expect to be allowed in, but wanted to mark the 14th anniversary of the proclamation of the breakaway Turkish Cypriot state.
No violence was reported except minor scuffles when two agitated women tried to break the police cordon but were pushed away.
Hundreds of Greek Cypriot refugees demonstrated in Cyprus on Saturday, demanding to return to their homes in the Turkish-occupied northern part of the island.
Greek Cypriot police stopped the refugee vehicles at barricades in front of the U-N buffer zone that splits Nicosia, and the rest of the island, into Greek and Turkish sections.
Police arrested six Greek Cypriots for attempting to break through the buffer zone in various places.
Charita Mandoles was stopped by officers and detained.
Like many others, she wanted to return home and hoped to find out what happened to her missing members of family.
SOUNDBITE: (Greek)
"My husband, my father, my cousin are all missing. And my brothers-in-law, six in my family. We are waiting 23 years, 23 years, to find these people and to return to our homes."
SUPER CAPTION: Charita Mandoles, Greek Cypriot refugee
One white-haired woman, Panayiota Pavlou, drove a tractor with a sign on the back saying "I want to plow and sow my fields again."
Her tractor, like the other 150 vehicles in the convoy, was stopped at barricades manned by Greek Cypriot policemen.
Cyprus has been divided since Turkey invaded and occupied the northern third in 1974 in the wake of an abortive coup by supporters of union with Greece.
The military partition led to an exchange of refugees in which some 200-thousand Greek Cypriots had to abandon their homes in the north.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We are trying to give a message to the International Community and to our Turkish Cypriot compatriots, that we wish justice to be done for Cyprus. These people here want to go back to their houses, they want to go back to the graves of their ancestors."
SUPER CAPTION: Marios Matsakis, Member of Parliament
Jingling keys of their homes, refugees tried to drive vehicles laden with belongings and festooned with banners to their homes.
SOUNDBITE: (Greek)
"I want to go to where we left our missing people. To find out what is happening, to go back to our home, that I have sweated over to build."
SUPER CAPTION: Pavlou Panayiota, Greek Cypriot refugee
The breakaway Turkish Cypriot state is recognised only by Turkey, which maintains 35-thousand troops in the north.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We only demand freedom for Cyprus, we want Turkish troops out of this island. This island has been Greek for three-thousand years and it will be for the years to come."
SUPER CAPTION: Vox pop, Cyclist
After two hours, the refugees dispersed, singing songs and chanting slogans.
Last year a similar action ended in violent clashes between rival groups which resulted in the death of two Greek Cypriots.

When Mustafa Shirmus saw land after days adrift aboard a ramshackle fishing trawler, he thought his treacherous journey from Syria to sanctuary in Europe was finally over. But 17 years later, he and dozens of fellow passengers remain stranded on a British military base on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, unwitting participants in an international dispute that has lasted nearly half his life.

Cypriot refugees
Cypriot refugees are the Cypriot nationals or Cyprus residents who had their main residence (as opposed to merely owning property) in an area forcibly evacuated during the Cyprus conflict. The government of Cyprus also recognizes as refugees the descendants of the original refugees in the male line regardless of place of birth. International law does not recognize such inheritance of refugee status.
1963-74 background
Tension began in 1963 when Makarios proposed thirteen amendments to the constitution of the Republic of Cyprus. Turkish Cypriots were opposed to the proposal since they viewed it as an attempt to remove their constitutional safeguards that Greek Cypriots had claimed to be problematic in the conduct of government. On 21 December 1963, clashes between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots erupted unleashed a wave of violence across the island. Facing violence from Greek Cypriot paramilitaries, in favour of unification with Greece (Enosis), thousands of Turkish Cypriots fled their properties to enclaves with Turkish Cypriot majorities, protected by Turkish troops. By 1974, an attempted coup sponsored by the military Greek military junta of 1967-1974 then ruling Greece, trying to overthrow the Cypriot government and unite the island with Greece, was met with a military invasion of the island by Turkey, which claimed it was acting as a guarantor power to prevent annexation of the island. Turkey's subsequent decades-long occupation of northern Cyprus has attracted widespread international condemnation.

Greek refugees
Greek refugees is a collective term used to refer to the Greeks from Asia Minor who were evacuated or relocated in Greece following the Convention Concerning the Exchange of Greek and Turkish Populations signed in Lausanne, on January 30, 1923, and the population exchange between Greece and Turkey. Although the term has been used in various times to refer to fleeing populations of Greek descent (primarily after the Ionian Revolt, the Fall of Constantinople or the Greek Civil War), the population strength and the influence of the Asia Minor Greeks in Greece itself, has attached the term to the Anatolian Greek population of the early 20th century.
Usage of the term
The Greek refugees from Asia Minor are usually called in Greek simply Οι Πρόσφυγες (Oi Prosfyges, The Refugees). Alternative terms used are Οι Μικρασιάτες πρόσφυγες (Oi Mikrasiates prosfyges, The Asia Minor refugees) or Οι πρόσφυγες του '22 (Oi prosfyges tou '22, The refugees of 1922). Further distinctions are made to denote the refugees from various historic regions of Anatolia: Πόντιοι πρόσφυγες (Pontioi prosfyges, Pontic refugees), Καππαδόκες πρόσφυγες (Kappadokes prosfyges, Cappadocian refugees), Μικρασιάτες πρόσφυγες (Mikrasiates prosfyges, The refugees from Asia Minor), to refer to the Greeks from the geographic area of the peninsula; special reference is made for the Refugees from Smyrna (Oi prosfyges tis Smyrnis, Πρόσφυγες της Σμύρνης), since the core of the Greek population lived in the city of Smyrna. The refugees from Eastern Thrace are also included.

Greek/English/Nat
Riot police turned back hundreds of Greek Cypriot refugees on Saturday who tried to drive to their occupied homes in the Turkish north.
The refugees didn't expect to be allowed in, but wanted to mark the 14th anniversary of the proclamation of the breakaway Turkish Cypriot state.
No violence was reported except minor scuffles when two agitated women tried to break the police cordon but were pushed away.
Hundreds of Greek Cypriot refugees demonstrated in Cyprus on Saturday, demanding to return to their homes in the Turkish-occupied northern part of the island.
Greek Cypriot police stopped the refugee vehicles at barricades in front of the U-N buffer zone that splits Nicosia, and the rest of the island, into Greek and Turkish sections.
Police arrested six Greek Cypriots for attempting to break through the buffer zone in various places.
Charita Mandoles was stopped by officers and detained.
Like many others, she wanted to return home and hoped to find out what happened to her missing members of family.
SOUNDBITE: (Greek)
"My husband, my father, my cousin are all missing. And my brothers-in-law, six in my family. We are waiting 23 years, 23 years, to find these people and to return to our homes."
SUPER CAPTION: Charita Mandoles, Greek Cypriot refugee
One white-haired woman, Panayiota Pavlou, drove a tractor with a sign on the back saying "I want to plow and sow my fields again."
Her tractor, like the other 150 vehicles in the convoy, was stopped at barricades manned by Greek Cypriot policemen.
Cyprus has been divided since Turkey invaded and occupied the northern third in 1974 in the wake of an abortive coup by supporters of union with Greece.
The military partition led to an exchange of refugees in which some 200-thousand Greek Cypriots had to abandon their homes in the north.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We are trying to give a message to the International Community and to our Turkish Cypriot compatriots, that we wish justice to be done for Cyprus. These people here want to go back to their houses, they want to go back to the graves of their ancestors."
SUPER CAPTION: Marios Matsakis, Member of Parliament
Jingling keys of their homes, refugees tried to drive vehicles laden with belongings and festooned with banners to their homes.
SOUNDBITE: (Greek)
"I want to go to where we left our missing people. To find out what is happening, to go back to our home, that I have sweated over to build."
SUPER CAPTION: Pavlou Panayiota, Greek Cypriot refugee
The breakaway Turkish Cypriot state is recognised only by Turkey, which maintains 35-thousand troops in the north.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We only demand freedom for Cyprus, we want Turkish troops out of this island. This island has been Greek for three-thousand years and it will be for the years to come."
SUPER CAPTION: Vox pop, Cyclist
After two hours, the refugees dispersed, singing songs and chanting slogans.
Last year a similar action ended in violent clashes between rival groups which resulted in the death of two Greek Cypriots.

"My husband, my father, my cousin are all missing. And my brothers-in-law, six in my family. We are waiting 23 years, 23 years, to find these people and to return to our homes."
SUPER CAPTION: Charita Mandoles, Greek Cypriot refugee
One white-haired woman, Panayiota Pavlou, drove a tractor with a sign on the back saying "I want to plow and sow my fields again."
Her tractor, like the other 150 vehicles in the convoy, was stopped at barricades manned by Greek Cypriot policemen.
Cyprus has been divided since Turkey invaded and occupied the northern third in 1974 in the wake of an abortive coup by supporters of union with Greece.
The military partition led to an exchange of refugees in which some 200-thousand Greek Cypriots had to abandon their homes in the north.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We are trying to give a message to the International Community and to our Turkish Cypriot compatriots, that we wish justice to be done for Cyprus. These people here want to go back to their houses, they want to go back to the graves of their ancestors."
SUPER CAPTION: Marios Matsakis, Member of Parliament
Jingling keys of their homes, refugees tried to drive vehicles laden with belongings and festooned with banners to their homes.
SOUNDBITE: (Greek)
"I want to go to where we left our missing people. To find out what is happening, to go back to our home, that I have sweated over to build."
SUPER CAPTION: Pavlou Panayiota, Greek Cypriot refugee
The breakaway Turkish Cypriot state is recognised only by Turkey, which maintains 35-thousand troops in the north.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We only demand freedom for Cyprus, we want Turkish troops out of this island. This island has been Greek for three-thousand years and it will be for the years to come."
SUPER CAPTION: Vox pop, Cyclist
After two hours, the refugees dispersed, singing songs and chanting slogans.
Last year a similar action ended in violent clashes between rival groups which resulted in the death of two Greek Cypriots.

Nicos Anastasiades – Negotiation about the Greek Cyprus. The questions on that meeting:
1. Will Cyprus stay in the European Union?
2. Will Turkey withdraw from Cyprus?
3. Will Cyprus give a visa-free regime to Turkey?
About Nicos Anastasiades the turkish part of Cyprus is closed their zone. The decision of these questions does not depend by the Great Powers, but it is in Cyprus. Cyprus agreed to the withdrawal of the turks on four stages by their territory. In Cyprus there is russian military presence – above the ground and underground. In the future by three directions will arrive more russian military presence that will keep the energy fields of Cyprus.
There will be no withdrawal by Turkey… There will be no visa-free regime with Turkey . The life of Nicos Anastasiades is threatened.
– Promises by Donald Tusk (European Council President) :
• Cyprus will be surrounded by all sides – Presenting this for something good – he actually promises double external blockade of the whole Cyprus.
• A promise for money by the EU leaders
Donald Tusk sees the Turkish Cyprus in War and the Union of Cyprus only through war, and the intervention of NATO in that war.
• The offer for a lot of money is refused.
It was discussed also the migrant crisis and the displacement of refugees in Greece and Bulgaria. What will happen? Europe will give money to Turkey despite the veto of Cyprus.

"We have already stated that 260, a maximum of 300, people can be taken in" by the small eastern Mediterranean island, Interior Minister Socrates Hasikos told state radio.

Hasikos later issued a statement clarifying that other EU members have also said they would prefer to take in Christians and that Cyprus has in the past rescued and received refugees "without discrimination on ethnicity or religion".
Europe has been facing an unprecedented influx this summer of people seeking refuge, many of them from war-torn Syria, and the European Commission is to unveil Wednesday a proposal for mandatory EU quotas to relocate 120,000 refugees.
Cyprus lies just 100 kilometres (60 miles) off the Syrian coast but has so far avoided a mass influx of refugees, with most preferring to bypass the island for the European mainland.

Refugee Perspective - 40th Anniversary of Turkish invasion of Cyprus
"The seminar commemorated the 40th dark anniversary of the brutal invasion and occupation of Cyprus by Turkey. Refugees from Ayios Amvrosios, Neochorion and Famagusta recounted the terrible events of 1974 and their tales of bloodshed, strife and horror chilled the auditorium. For over two hours the audience was transfixed and transported to the shores and mountains of the beautiful island of Cyprus when the peace of a summer morning on 20 July 1974 was cruelly shattered by the sound of warplanes and incessant bombing." First came the story of Kika Kattirtzi who was 19-years-old when Ayios Amvrosios experienced the Turkish invasion - spoken in English.

Turkey out of Cyprus - London Demo 2012 p2 of 3 in English
"UK Cypriots and British Parliamentarians demand justice in the EU's presidency state" Prime Minister David Cameron was sent a clear and heartfelt message from the British Cypriot community as thousands of people were joined by politicians from across Britain's political spectrum in a show of solidarity against Turkey's continuing illegal military occupation of the northern part of Cyprus. The rally in Trafalgar Square was addressed by British politicians from the main parties, Mr Droussiotis, Mr Charalambos Pittas, Mayor of occupied Morphou, on behalf of the occupied towns and municipalities of Cyprus, and Mrs Eleni Mavrou, Cyprus Home Affairs Minister, who was the main speaker at the event. In his introductory speech, Mr Droussiotis articulated the rally's main demands and said, a... -

Event in London, organised by the "Lobby for Cyprus" about the petition they had created 2 months earlier requesting the Cyprus Government to allow Cypriots abroad to be allowed to have a vote in the 'referendum' to be eventually created in 2016 or 2017. The item below is the article published by the 'Parikiaki Newspaper' in London on 23rd May.
(unfortunately, parts of MY video recording of the event was unsatisfactory)
"Why should Cypriot refugees have the right to vote?"
http://www.parikiaki.com/2016/05/right-to-vote-in-a-cyprus-settlement-referendum-qa/
The myth that Turkey’s revisionist history creates is that in 1974 “Greek Cypriots voluntarily abandoned their homes and moved south.” The reality is that in 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus and Greek, Maronite and Armenian Cypriots were forced to flee for their safety. To this day the Turkish army prevents them from returning to their homes. Those refugees who fled overseas are unlikely to meet the current requisite residency criteria for voting in a Cyprus settlement referendum. Many people’s experience is that these individual live with the dream of the right to return to their homeland, free from foreign occupation. This is particularly true for those in the diaspora. The fact that they have been forcefully displaced and deprived of their land should not be seen as a factor against them. On the contrary, it is an argument in favour of them having the right to vote on their future, on whether they are repatriated or permanently displaced. They had no control over being forced from their homes. They must be empowered to have a say in their future.
Who should have the right to vote in the diaspora?
We do not believe that the right to vote should only be limited to refugees. Having researched current global trends on eligibility criteria and global practices in recent elections, it is clear that basing the right to vote on residency is an outdated mode of thinking. In fact a number of countries are currently reforming their laws so that their citizens do not lose their right to vote in elections, no matter how long they are away from their country. This is why the supporters of this Right to vote campaign believe it is important not to disenfranchise Cypriots of the diaspora. They have played a crucial role in rebuilding Cyprus after the 1974 invasion and after each other crises that followed. Their non-residence status has not diminished their links with Cyprus, nor their commitment to finding a just settlement to end the Turkish occupation.
How can the right to vote be implemented?
Referenda differ to presidential and local elections and so are subject to other laws and rules. What is required is not a constitutional amendment, or a permanent change. An ad hoc law would need to be passed by the Cyprus House of Representatives for a specific Cyprus settlement referendum in order to extend the right to vote to those in the diaspora.

For over two hours the audience was transfixed and transported to the shores and mountains of the beautiful island of Cyprus when the peace of a summer morning on 20 July 1974 was cruelly shattered by the sound of warplanes and incessant bombing."
First came the story of Kika Kattirtzi who was 19-years-old when Ayios Amvrosios experienced the Turkish invasion - spoken in English.
Next were Michael and Maria Kashis, a couple from Neochorion, Kythrea, who had two small children and were expecting a third child when war broke out in 1974 - spoken in Greek.
A full summary of the content of the seminar, including that of the items spoken in Greek, is available (at the bottom of this page, based on the details provided at the 'Lobby for Cyprus' website) at:
http://lobbyforcyprus.org/pressrelease.aspx?id=1278
The third speaker was Antonis Hadjiharis from Ayios Amvrosios - spoken in Greek.
The fourth speaker was George Mouktaris of Famagusta - spoken in English.
Dr Theodora Christou was the last speaker - spoken in English - as she explained the 'Lobby' campaign for the right to vote in any referendum on a solution for Cyprus. There is no reason why refugees who are the 'diaspora', living abroad, and those with ancestors who are Cypriot, should not be allowed to vote on what happens to their villages, homes, land and churches.
Theodora described how Turkey’s myth is that the refugees voluntarily left their homes. The harsh truth is that Turkey illegally invaded and killed, tortured, raped, abused and intimidated all non-Turkish Cypriots. This constitutes forceful displacement and ethnic cleansing and the transfer to Cyprus of colonists from mainland Turkey which are international war crimes and violations of human rights, these matters being the subject of a case filed on 14 July 2014 at the International Criminal Court at the Hague.
Theodora described how the Turkish colonists were allowed to vote on the Annan Plan in 2004 but the refugees in the diaspora were not entitled to vote. Theodora described the criteria drawn up by 'Lobby for Cyprus' for those who should be entitled to vote in a referendum. Theodora also described how it is up to the Cyprus government to adopt a special law regarding a referendum in order to extend the scope of those entitled to vote in the diaspora. Lobby for Cyprus has been seeking support from the diaspora for this initiative and regards this as a crucial step in the fight for a free Cyprus.
Nikos Savvides performed two songs he had composed for Cyprus ... ‘Rigas Feraios - 40 years’ and ‘Beloved Cyprus’ and at the end of the seminar he was joined by all participants in singing the national anthem.

Commemorating the "Women Walk Home" events in Cyprus, and the "Women's Day" anniversary on 9th March
Website with additional details:
http://www.cyprus.com.cy/womenwalkhome.htm
35,000 Greek Cypriot women led by a delegation of 200 foreign women staged an emotional yet peaceful demonstration here. The idea, suggested only a few weeks previously by a group of English girls living on the Island, was taken up with enthusiasm not only by the 200,000 homeless refugees, but also women and women's organisations throughout the world.
The intention of Women Walk Home was simplicity itself - by walking peacefully to the border and requesting the Turkish authorities for permission to allow a delegation to make a symbolic return to homes in Famagusta, it would be possible to draw attention to the General Assembly Resolution 3212 (unanimous, and signed by all three Cyprus guarantor powers including Turkey) requiring the return of all refugees to their homes.
The organisers, aware of the depth of feeling in many of the refugees who had come from all parts of the Island in over 700 buses, had sensibly organised the women into easily controllable groups. Men were barred from taking part in the 2 1/2 mile walk from Phrenaros to Dherynia.
From Britain two Members of Parliament, Mrs Lena Jeger and Miss Jo Richardson, attended at their own expense. In a moving speech before the walk, Mrs Jeger said: "How I wish, dear friends, that we were walking all together today, Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots, Armenians, Maronites, English and everyone of the people of Cyprus. We must say to our Turkish Cypriot friends we are here to demonstrate our friendship." But she warned, "The idea that any system of transfer of population or partition will bring any solution to this human problem is mistaken."
Mrs Jeger said she had had messages from Turkish Cypriot friends re-settled in Famagusta who had told her that the house they had been put in was empty, previously looted by the Turkish army. "Here we are", they told Mrs Jeger, "with four empty walls, no work, no money, we want to go home."
The Turkish authorities predictably refused to accept the petition even from U.N. officials despite repeated attempts, and the crowd dispersed late in the afternoon following a rainstorm. A group of 40 determined Women Walk Home participants stayed on the spot overlooking Famagusta, continuing to try to have their petition accepted for another three days.
Sympathy walks took place in London, where, in a crowd of 9, 000, a Turkish Cypriot woman handed in a petition to the Turkish Embassy, New York, Toronto, Berlin and Athens. Over 700 women's organisations throughout the world supported the Walk, thousands of telegrams were received and the story was broadcast and published widely throughout the world.

"UK Cypriots and British Parliamentarians demand justice in the EU's presidency state"
Prime Minister David Cameron was sent a clear and heartfelt message from the British Cypriot community as thousands of people were joined by politicians from across Britain's political spectrum in a show of solidarity against Turkey's continuing illegal military occupation of the northern part of Cyprus.
The rally in Trafalgar Square was addressed by British politicians from the main parties, Mr Droussiotis, Mr Charalambos Pittas, Mayor of occupied Morphou, on behalf of the occupied towns and municipalities of Cyprus, and Mrs Eleni Mavrou, Cyprus Home Affairs Minister, who was the main speaker at the event.
In his introductory speech, Mr Droussiotis articulated the rally's main demands and said, among other things:
"The Turkish Ambassador to the UK objects to the terms 'illegal occupation' and 'invasion' which are included in motions supported by our parliamentary friends in the House of Commons. Turkey finds our presence and what we do, in support of Cyprus, in this country, uncomfortable. It wants to silence us. So much so, that there have been efforts by various elements to derail this rally on the ludicrous grounds that it constitutes a 'hate crime'!
"It is not a 'hate crime' to want your country back; it is not a 'hate crime' to want all Cypriots to live together as free people and in peace in their own country. Ours is a political struggle for human rights, freedom, justice and democracy.
"Today, the Cypriot community of the UK stands united, proudly, by the side of the government and people of the Republic of Cyprus, as the island fulfils its important role as President of the European Union."
Charles Tannock MEP for London, pledged continuing support for the goals of Cyprus and asked of Turkey "How can you be a candidate for membership of the European Union when you don't recognise one of its members and, indeed, the one that holds the Presidency for the next six months?"
Andy Love MP, said that Britain has "a unique role to play as a Guarantor Power of the independence and territorial integrity of Cyprus, and also as a prominent member of the EU and a Security Council member". He went on to refer to the matter of Cypriots that have been missing since the invasion of 1974, and announced a Parliamentary inquiry into the issue.
Mr Charalambos Pittas, the Mayor of occupied Morphou, spoke on behalf of the nine occupied municipalities in Cyprus. He said that "The Cypriot people will never give up their ancestral homes to the Turkish invader" and congratulated the UK Cypriot community for its dedication to the cause of a free and united Cyprus.
Former Minister for Europe, Chris Bryant MP, stated: "It is a disgrace for every politician in Europe that we have a divided capital and a divided island in the EU... the Turkish government made promises to recognise the Republic of Cyprus, to open Turkey's ports to Cypriot traffic, to restore land to the Cypriot refugees and to investigate the fate of missing people. None of those promises have been kept. The UK must do everything in its power to make sure that the promises are delivered."
Veteran Labour politician and former Secretary of State for Health, Frank Dobson MP said - " "Every single government in the EU should be ashamed that it has not made clear to Turkey that if it wants to be a member of the EU, it has to play by the rules. We cannot have a situation whereby the presidency country of the EU is occupied by an alien force."
Sir Alan Meale MP, lamented the failures of successive UK governments to act in accordance with the UK's responsibilities in relation to Cyprus. "We must tell Turkey to stop interfering in the territory of an EU member and UK ally." He added that "Turkey is trying to claim ownership of areas with reserves of oil and gas around Cyprus. Turkey: you have no claim to these assets. These areas belong to Cyprus!"
Keynote speaker at the event, Mrs Eleni Mavrou, denounced the systematic colonisation of, and the destruction of the cultural heritage in occupied Cyprus. She added that Cyprus was willing to lend all efforts to negotiations for a settlement to the division of the island, even during the six-month presidency of the Council of the EU but made clear that, instead of working in this direction, Turkey is pushing for the island's partition and the establishment of two separate states in Cyprus.
The annual "Rally for Cyprus" was organised by the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK, to mark the 38th anniversary of the illegal invasion of Cyprus by the Turkish army in July 1974. Photos and videos of the rally are available in the media resources section at: http://www.cypriotfederation.co.uk

Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation, Sin Plin program, discussion in Greek, about the Cyprus Issue and the European Court of Human Rights judgement to recognise as adequate the "Immovable Property Commission" judicial process set up by Turkey within the so-called "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" in the Turkish occupied areas of Cyprus, to hear cases regarding property ownership and compensation brought to it by Greek Cypriots expelled from those territories as a result of the 1974 Turkish invasion. The original deadline for such cases being heard had originally been set for 20th December 2011, but is likely to be extended for 2 years. There is a continuing tense discussion within the Greek Cypriot community about whether Greek Cypriot refugees should use the mechanism which has to date heard only a tiny proportion of cases submitted to it, and in those cases where a decision has been reached only about 10% of the actual estimated true value of properties has been agreed to be paid as compensation. There is also considerable discussion about whether the resultant 'sale' of properties to Turkey through this mechanism reinforces its claim for partition of the island.
Discussed by:
Sophoclis Fitis MP - President of the House of Representatives Committee on Human Rights
George Varnava MP - Member of House of Representatives Committee on Refugees
Achilleas Demetriades - the lawyer who initiated cases against Turkey, representing Titina Loizidou and others, at the European Court of Human Rights, which resulted in a judgement that Turkey must pay compensation for rental value of properties lost by Greek Cypriots as a result of the Turkish invasion of 1974.
