| Having just got back from TRNC and been out on property inspections all over the place for 5 hrs a day. And seeing everything that has been built, from apartment complexes to whole towns of villas and houses. Shops and resturants. Does anyone really think it will all just be given back? Will the greeks really be able to just demand all this be knocked down and compensation be paid by each individual person? Whilst also seeing how many main land Turks have settled over the years and built lives here, do you really see them being sent back, literally overnigth, just because the Greeks demand so? Also seeing all the army baracks dotted all over the place, can you REALLy see them just upping and leaving? (I for one feel a lot safer in a place knowing we have x amount of soliders on stand by incase of ANY attack, reagrdless of who it may be) whilst in the TRNC and driving around, talking to local people, is it me or do you get the feeling that nothing will actually happen |

| reproman: "Will the greeks really be able to just demand all this be knocked down and compensation be paid by each individual person?" Wishful thinking on your part, I reckon. Regardless of whether in time there will be a BBF or two-state solution, foreigners will continue to be taken to court for their UK assets, rendering an "exchange" property pretty worthless IMO. |

| skybluesam, Even if they have no UK assets the lawyers will turn them over as much as they can and it won't be a pleasant experience. Also, who would they ever sell the "exchange" property to? Publicity alone in the local press (civil actions are posted on the walls of the courts) would bring a fair amount of embarassment and shame. |

| it doesn't matter who buys it, it doesn't change the fact that it was taken from a displaced greek cypriot. who the e.u courts still recognise have the legal title deeds to it. |

| repro, Where is the evidence of all these foreign buyers? The property market is stagnant, prices are falling and estate agents are hardly shifting anything. Add to that the global recession which has devalued LEGAL house prices everywhere and you'll agree I'm sure that buying disputed properties in a politically unstable territory with dodgy title deeds is lunacy. I think some people who made a bad investment some years ago, and still don't "own" "their" properties, are desperately clutching at straws. |

| If the current talks do not succeed and bearing in mind that both leaders have said this is the last opportunity to reunify. Then I think that there is every liklihood that the TRNC will either be Internationally recognised or will be annexed to Turkey. Either way, North Cyprus will then be outside of the EU. Any subsequent attempts to take civil action on the back of EU rulings will not be possible. |

| "I think some people who made a bad investment some years ago, and still don't "own" "their" properties, are desperately clutching at straws" Those that have invested in TRNC some years ago have had a far better run for their money that those that have purchased during the peak 2006/2007 in the UK, how many of those no longer own their properties now? Reposession are at record highs right now. And those thousands in the US that are being foreclosed on a daily basis. Lets not forget the crashed Spainish market. ( i know its a totally different situation, but the end result is the same...being kicked out of your home and losing all your money) I for one feel safe owning in the TRNC right now, as there is no sign the latest talks will solve anything. and as jock pointed out...we are ALL DOOMED no matter where we are...

| twaddle north cyprus is in the e.u already and if they are internationally recognised then it will be expected to abide by eu laws/ rulings. turkey will also joint the e.u at some point. so i guess its not if ,but when civil action will be taken. the e.u recognises that the owner pre 1974 be them tc or gc is the legal owner. the orams are the test case and then the flood gates will open. |

| Fire Starter, yes, I know they are in the EU (nominally) at the moment but IF they were to become an Internationally recognised sovereign state they will not be in the EU. If They were annexed to Turkey who then became EU members, I cannot see that an ROC resident could take action against any TRNC / Turkish resident with regards to property in the TRNC as it could not be considered as part of the ROC as it is at the moment. Only my own view, but this situation cannot continue forever. Surely the International community will get fed up soon with the inability of the 2 sides to agree to reunify and will accept them as seperate states. Think about it, if states such as Iran and Syria are allowed to trade Internationally, why should not the little old TRNC who purely want to live in peace be allowed to do so. |

| twaddle: "Then I think that there is every liklihood that the TRNC will either be Internationally recognised or will be annexed to Turkey." I don't know if you actually know the Turkish Cypriots and their mindset, but I think you'd be looking at major civil unrest if it was suggested their part of Cyprus was going to be swallowed up by Turkey. They don't want it, full stop. They've been abused and expoilted by Turkey for long enough. |

| Macha, I agree that annexation would not be the favoured option. However, I think it might be more agreeable than a solution that gives too much power to the GCs. I personally would like to see a solution that would be to everyones' benefit but it does look a rather doubtful prospect at the moment. |

| Juiliet The Turkish Cypriots want reunification, freedom and the right to stand up and be counted hence they showed this by voting YES in 2004. The Greeks want everything but unification and any sort of recognition of turkish cypriots...hence they voted NO and still cause problems to this day. If the choice comes down to being taken over by greeks and made second class citizens or being annexed by Turkey...i know what i would be voting for. But the problem is...when it comes to any sort of referendum..there is no fair policy...it seems to be VOTE to agree whatever the Greeks want...or stay in isolation until you change your mind. For now at least........ Long Live TRNC Repro |

| Hi Reproman Like you when I joined the forum I asked similar questions in order to get a feel for how the more experienced living in TRNC felt about current issues affecting your home etc. Investment in this case is a poor word because it implies you ventured here in order to make money to the detriment of others when in fact you are probably just buying a holiday/retirement home because you have fell in love with the place. Anyway like you I asked the question. I was stunned by the vitriol and negative comments so readily flung at me on this board. But like everything else there is always two sides to any view and thankfully there are many on this forum who can give a more sanguine opinion as to their take on things and ,surprise surprise, disagree with the "you'll be sorry brigade" For every Macha there is an erolz (hope erolz does not mind me saying so) Have a look at both views espoused and you will see what I mean and so better able to judge.

| Joesph I purchased my property in North Cyrpus purly because i am a Turkish Cypriot. After years and years of failed talks, embargoes and isloation i have given up on waiting for this to end. In the mean time why should i hang on and wait? I am not getting any younger. 2004 was a significant turning point for me and as the current talks seem to be failing by the day, i feel there will never be any unification plan that will satisfy the greeks. With the whole world falling apart at the seems and the EU looking more like a failed ideolgy. I see no chance for unification for the foreseeable future. And the longer this goes on..the more chance the TRNC will be recognised. Each time i retrun i see more developments and progression, albeit slowly..but it is happening. Why should we just sit in limbo untill the Greeks say so. Repro. |

| For goodness sake Macha, Fire starter & Juliet give it a rest. We have heard it all before many times over. The vast majority of land east of Girne, wasn't fit for anything other than grazing goats on. Six years ago the land was valued at less than £2000 per donum, so what was it worth in 1974? Sweet fanny adams, in fact they couldn't give it away. Stop your bleating and winding folks up. It will all work out in the end for everyone. So stop worrying and listening to these muppets and enjoy life. The Butlers wife |

| Thought I add my sixpenneth worth of a prediction. There will be a solution worked out sometime this year or very early next. Whether it will please all of the people is very, very unlikely. Why do I predict that (apart from my distant relation being called Nostodamus)? Greece is on the verge of bankruptcy. They really don't need the very expensive Cyprus saga carrying on. The TRNC is financially bankrupt anyway (although the new $500m loan helps) but are fairly happy because Turkey pays the bills and wages at the end of the day. President Talat knows whats coming if there is no settlement hence he wont stand again for election. Turkey wants to get into the EU (The Cyprus problem is a major road block) and again is on the verge of bankruptcy but wont admit it of course, hence the overtures to the IMF. Turkey therefore wants a solution urgently without losing face both politically & financially. So the pressure is at it's greatest ever for a solution, so a crack will appear in the dam. |

| Juliet: "would you be saying the same if the shoe was on the other foot, & someone was occupying your back garden in the UK for the last 34yrs?" When members of your family were killed by the greeks. Women, children, fathers, uncles. Children that were left disabled from the ethinc cleansing that took place by THE GREEKS. And no these are not stories made up...these are real life tragedies. When your members of your family tell you of how they used to wait until after dark and take their children through the fields to the safety of the turkish camps, afraid their village will be the next. And you are asking me if i give a damn about whos garden i am sitting in? Get your priorites straight. The thing that sickens me the most...Turkish Cypriots are not after revenge, but simply want to be allowed to live... The Greeks, after all these years...are seeking REVENGE, filled with hate they continue to make the lives of those that survived their onslaught hell. Repro |

| As The Butlerswife said :For goodness sake Macha, Fire starter & Juliet give it a rest. We have heard it all before many times over. Repro... as I said earlier don't get drawn into a war of words on the past. I presume your tag was an honest question about the future and it's evolvement but before you know it u r into arguments of blame. I think last weeks evil murders in N'Ireland should be a pointer to the politicians in the current talks. As far as I know the Irish people have lived in peace for the last 12 years or so going about their daily lives, not worrying about their children being caught up in some awful atrocity. I could be wrong but am willing to bet people do not want a return to the bad old days. Obviously though... some extremists do. I am no expert on Irish politics, like most, only what I remember from those terrible years and perhaps someone on here (Irish) has a different view but that is my take. Get on with the satus quo peacefully. Joseph |

| Jospeh Not heard the term "Whited sepulchres" before but having looked it up "Noun 1. whited sepulchre - a person who is inwardly evil but outwardly professes to be virtuous " I must agree with you that with some posters it does indeed 'come to mind'. Of course there may be those who think my posts bring "Whited sepulchres" to mind too, but for me at least that is not an issue for I know what I truly am inside and what I aspire to be. |

| Hi erolz, Apologies but I did not direct this at any person per se but rather at their ideas and or motives. That is to say they are perhaps being mischeivous or in more common parlance winding people up. Apologies if you/ anyone misunderstoode my intent. I just feel the negatives hold far to much sway and never seem to be positive. Imagine the difference if people on here were more of the welcome to the aboard attitude and yes any questions please ask and if we can offer any positive advice we will. I enjoy your posts because I think you are in this bracket of helpfulness and trying to move things along positively... Maybe we should have a Cyprus44 Positive Day Regards Joseph |

| Joseph msg 54 "I enjoy your posts because I think you are in this bracket of helpfulness and trying to move things along positively..." Thanks for those kind words though I do fear such statments may make you a target but hope my fears prove to be unfounded. In all honesty I focus the vast majority of my efforts to both 'be helpful' and 'move things along positively' in the real world rather than on froums like these, helping idviduals with computers where I can and getting involved in bi communal iniatives as much as possible. I find on forums such as these I do tend to get bogged down in trying to correct and counter and balance persistant inaccuracies and distortions and the sheer volume of them , all be it from a few sources, tends to outweigh my 'helpful' and 'positive' posts. I still struggle with this without becomming a mirror image of the things I am trying to correct or balance however. Its not easy. |

| Firstarter... The above quote was not mine... I simply pasted it because others have a different view to you... in this case "thebutler" who went on to say its time to move on and deal with the status quo I happen to think that statement reflects a fair proportion of those of us who support neither side. I wonder though whether it is a case of the kettle calling the pot black when you say... presumably to erolz... thats you and your friends wanting to shut up those who disagree with your views... what if they agree with yours... Does that make them ok in your eyes? For my part I support neither side re past conflicts, how can I ... not having lived through it but I would like to see successful talks completed and ALL cypriot peoples living in harmony. Joseph |

| Just in case the "thats you and your friends wanting to shut up those who disagree with your views." in fire starters post was aimed at me I would say I have NEVER told anyone on any forum to 'shut up' or 'go away' or tell people they should not post until they learn more about the subject or the other variants on this theme or dimimissed their views simply because of their ethnic orgin , my own interpretation of their ethnic orgin or the status of property they may own. |

| ok, its all my fault...I started yet another thread that has ended up being about the same old crap. But before this thread gets closed down..(which I think its time it did – note to mods) All I was trying to say was, how much development I observed on my last visit and how I cannot envisage how all the infrastructure and integration of peoples in TRNC over the past 30 odd years can be simply be ‘reversed’. Repro. |

| the butler: "For goodness sake Macha, Fire starter & Juliet give it a rest. We have heard it all before many times over. The vast majority of land east of Girne, wasn't fit for anything other than grazing goats on. Six years ago the land was valued at less than £2000 per donum, so what was it worth in 1974? Sweet fanny adams, in fact they couldn't give it away. Stop your bleating and winding folks up. It will all work out in the end for everyone. So stop worrying and listening to these muppets and enjoy life." Many posters are "muppets" as you say, but they don't worry me in the slightest. Thanks for your concern Rest assured I will continue to post the facts about the TRNC that hundreds of Brits wish they had known before committing themselves to disaster. I've never heard someone try to justify ethnic cleansing, property theft and war crimes by claiming it was "only grazing land", but then again, wasn't a well-known Royal butler accused of stealing? Is it a butler thing? |

| deecyprus: "You are both really very silly." So says the person who claimed all the mosques in the south had been destroyed. You did say you'd apologise when proved wrong. We're still waiting... |

| Turtle: "Where were you born Juliet?" What business is it of yours? I note you're happy enough to speculate about others, but not brave enough to say anything about yourself. Shame about your development, BTW. Do you know who the legal owner is? Would you like me to tell you? |

| Erolz: "at least that is not an issue for I know what I truly am inside and what I aspire to be." What a pity that someone with such high ideals and opinion of himself seems unwilling to accept the same of another. Think about it for a minute, Erolz. You have never met me. Do you REALLY know my motivation on these forums? |

| REPROMAN I know the politics of North Cyprus very well.....and the way the minds of North Cyprus, Turkey and the Turkish armed forces work. 1.They cannot ask for everything to be knocked over and given back, purely because half of the population would be homeless.. 2. Turkey wouldn't allow for this area to be inhabited by Greek cypriots at a large scale, or anything more than 3% of the total population. The only solution there will be, would be compensation to be paid. Either the government, or current owner would be liable for this compensation. Nobody will be giving anything back......nothing will be knocked down, or over.....believe me. I know that those shifty estate agents told you the same thing, but for once, they are right. I advise you to continue on your purchase......buy an apartment or villa......and try to bargain, as this is the key time to do it.....builders are desperate to sell sell sell, the ecomonic turmoil is crushing down on them....use it as |
