i am generally puzzled:



it is obvious that in the hurley-burley of arguments about trnc property

those eu citizens who are the owners "now"

may have to defend themselves against those eu citizens who "blew it"



it could all be a false dawn for friends cyplad/pikey, juliet and mark and others



or with yet more sinsiter laws at the discussion stage

it could usher in a new compensation culture



but I don't quite see how all this agro would get back north cyprus for them?



perhaps I am being especially thick but I would have thought

these shennanigans will push the day that turkey leaves cyprus

even further into the distant future... if it ever happens at all



can someone explain the link if they think there is one?

Enjoyed reading this one - one of your funnier ones's .. must show it too a person I "know" who was also educated in the Soviet, Communist education system..



Funny thing is they end up pretty well educated and dislike most of the things the system stood for - but they miss the std of education and back then teachers were regarded very highly and weren't paid peanuts..



THINK you'll find "Commie Jim" has moved a long way to the right.. and may be we should be glad if he is "well educated" ;)

another small debate i watched on gak tv which may also help see which way the wind is blowing ,when the new government "the ubp" imo get into power ,if the orams lose then there is a great possibility the borders may be shut to stop the gc,s coming over ,or a new law may be passed to stop them from approaching people, so you can see which way the ,at least the tc,s wind blows.

Hi mmmmmmmmmmm,



The border was opened because a TC had made a case that he was prevented from travelling to/from work. Have you considered that the border might not be totally closed, but it might become "one-way". The RoC is obliged to allow EU/RoC/TRNC citizens free passage back and forth. No such obligation applies to TRNC. They could decide who they allow in and who they don't. TC's could travel freely across and back to work and everyone/anyone else may or may not.

Hi "TRNC"Vaughan, re msg 50



You've not thought this one through, have you ?!



The TC is a Medical professional who doesn't "recognise" "TRNC" - he still believed his govt should have been within the framework of the RoC ! He regards himself as a citizen of RoC. He won his case as his applications to attend seminars etc., were frequently refused or even ignored.



IF TR "closed the gates" it would be restricting the freedom of movement of EU Citizens AND it would be discriminatory. NOT a wise move by an EU accession candidate..



The RoC is obliged to allow EU Citizens to cross - "TRNC" Citizens who aren't citizens of the RoC - e.g. Turkish settlers would be told to apply for a Visa and enter Cyprus by a recognised port of entry ..



Interestingly enough, I heard Mr Gul- on Euronews this am - say that TR doesn't require GCs to have Visas !

It wouldn't be TR but TRNC that might choose to "close the gates" if the UBP come to power and the talks fail. One might say that TR pulls the strings but would have difficulty proving it.

Hi mmmmmm,



I'm not making myself clear perhaps.



How could preventing RoC citizens from travelling North be seen as something to be held liable for? I am not suggesting TRNC citizens with RoC papers couldn't travel back and forth, or that EU citizens who weren't RoC nationals couldn't travel back and forth. What I am suggesting is that RoC nationals might be prevented from travelling North by TRNC immigration. They could be asked to apply for a visa which may or may not be granted.

I have clearly demonstrated to you that TURKEY is held liable for most of the acts of "TRNC" govt.. if it "allowed" an attempted restriction of the freedom of movement of one set of EU citizens - it would be held liable..



Dear Dee re msg 54



"why do you always side with the RoC" ?



Do I? As you point out they haven't complied with thge spirit of an EU Directive, and now admit it



If you ask "TRNC" Vaughan he will certainly advise you that I was no "fan" of the last administration.



Sorry,to "disappoint" you, Dee, but you have neatly shown that I try to be on the side of what is legally correct - re freedom of movement and right where one wants to live.



My views are largely the foreign policy of my Govts' in resprect to relations with RoC / Turkey...



I would like to see TR in the EU and autonomous regions of Cyprus.



Hope that clears you misconceptions ..!

===> "TR in the EU"? We'll see.



===> "autonomous regions of Cyprus." Look again, Mark. That's exactly what you see and have today: two autonomous regions in Cyprus. We finally agree (glad you gave up!): we both see and have what we want...



PS. So, to update your knowledge/information: the Southern autonomous region is called RoC (Republic of Cyprus) and the Northern autonomous region is called TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus).

I, clearly say autonomous *regions* ... not nations . I refer to a bi-zonal , single, federated state made up of autonomous ethnic regions - with EU norms on freedom of movement TEMPORARILY "restricted" to ensure stability .



I welcome a Turk living / working in Limas(s)ol and a GC doing the same in, say, Anatolia !

The Irish and Brits need to buy a visa on arrival in TR.. The Irish get charged less !



But let's not digress, you were "trying" to tell us that Turkey ( or "TRNC") could refuse entrance to "TRNC" to RoC citizens..

Changed Tack? On the contrary. In msg 51 you stated:

"IF TR "closed the gates" it would be restricting the freedom of movement of EU Citizens AND it would be discriminatory."

Discriminatory.

We have agreed that TR applies different entry requirements to different EU citizens (Irish, British & Germans), and that this is clearly discrimination. So why couldn't they apply a different entry requirement (i.e. No entry) to RoC citizens?

Different is different. Discrimination is discrimination.

It is off the tack, but visas for entry into Turkey is a tit for tat situation. Turks entering Britain have to pay a visa fee Germans don't. Hence British passport holders have to pay on entry into Turkey. No bias as far as I'm aware. Maybe the Irish charge less for Turks to enter Irland?

Hi ROBIN HOOD,



I don't agree that it is off tack. I think it demonstrates that different states CAN apply different (and therefore by definition discriminatory) visa regulations to different EU citizens, for whatever reason, be it "tit-for-tat" or any other. In days gone by the US required UK citizens to apply for a visa and on one occasion I was denied one, whereas the UK applied no such requirement to US citizens. If various states can legally require a visa, and on occasion deny them, why can't TR do the same with RoC?

Juliet - if you are going to talk down to people you really must learn how to write the English language

Their = refering to belonging or association with a person

There= refering to an object or place

North Cyprus really is a great place - especially the people. All you have to do is to spend a day in Nicosia - first in the North as a guest of the TC's, then cross over to the south and compare the treatment you get fro GCs. Not what you want to hear, but the truth.

===> Thank you for your unsolicited help, joseph. I have broken the link to the article on my server now, because I like to control my server and its visitors myself. And rule # 1 is that I don't allow people on my server who are in one way or another unsympathetic to the TRNC. That's why *I* have sent the link to this article via email (including you) myself. I think I made the procedure in the postings about this subject clear enough. Oh well, I'll find a safer way to inform people next time.

Sorry to bring this back to the top but...



Would it not be a good idea for this article to be scanned and placed on the Forums homepage under one or another of the directives.



I think this is such an important statement of assurance for expats and all buyers in TRNC both past, present and those considering buying in TRNC.

After all having such a clear statement given by such a senior politician surely puts paid to all the misleading (accidental or otherwise) recollections of who said what and when?



Dutch has unearthed a real important gem of news so surely this deserves to be out in the open... or am I wrong

Thousands of British families who bought cheap houses or land in Northern Cyprus were told yesterday that their investments were secure, even if European courts ruled that their property was stolen from Greek owners during the 1974 division of the island.



Ferdi Soyer, the prime minister of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus - which is recognised only by Turkey - gave a "state guarantee" that their ownership could not be successfully challenged.

The political stand-off between the Greek and Turkish sides of Cyprus would ensure that court claims were not enforced, he said.



On a visit to London, Mr Soyer said: "There is no chance that they will lose their property. The British people who buy a house or who want to take land in north Cyprus do not be afraid: everything is under our state guarantee."

First of all the DeputyPM gives a guarantee and now in the Telegraph article his boss the P.Minister is adding the same?



Then... some detract from this by saying... this is only given by TRNC ministers who are recognised by Turkey alone.



If so... can I now read that Turkey is also adding a guarantee.



Result ... we have a guarantee by the TRNC Prime Minister by his deputy and now... thanks to those pointing this out... by Turkey also?



This guarantee seems to be getting better and better

Hi No1..



Well this is what I am trying to ascertain by the posts above?



1.. DutchC found and revealed a statement of guarantee by Deputy P.M

2.. The Saints then revealed that his statement was backed up by the P.M

3.. Then dt kindly points out that Turkey backs both statements?



So I asked; have I read this correctly... because... like you...it seems to me that the original single guarantee has now become a triple guarantee?



Simple enough question... What do you think

if the case goes against the oram's, which it looks like it will.

Dear dt.. re msg 106



Whilst I understand your feelings, you MUST be aware that G.Cypriots should not rely on the Ormas' case alone - and we don't even KNOW the outcome, yet - it certainly won't get your properties back - it would just inconvenience - the "owner" if he/she/they have assets in the EU.



The GCs have the right to use the current RCHR approved local remedy that TURKEY has been ordered to provide.



IF - as I suspect - GCs don't use it - if they *did*, I believe the findings would have been subject to ECHR review, as TR has historically been "under" re valuation and not keen to allow occupied properties to be handed back - you will find that the ECHR will not treat GC cases as you'd wish..



GCs can't ignore ECHR judgements when they don't suit.. the RoC govt was MAD to make GCs who DO use this route feel "bad" - the wise thing to do would have been to LOAD Turkey's IPC with claims..

Assuming your response was directed at me I'm not quite sure why you felt the need to respond in such hostile terms. I wasn't suggesting that it was a good or a bad offer - I was merely looking to gain a better understanding of the basis for these figures.



Thank you for your subsequent posting extracted from another forum. This says that "55 people were asked for 56,826,000 pounds from the beginning of the agreements" Is there a press article that expands on this?



My point is that it's impossible to know whether the original £57M is an artificially inflated/unreasonable figure, whether the £8m response is the unreasonable one or whether indeed reality lies somewhere between the two. Property prices are notoriously volatile at the best of times.

Hi Vincehugo..



Your fair questions re property compensation and the huge variances might be explained by whether or not the value stated are current values or values as assessed in 1974... but I'm not sure... just a guess... but I am sure this difficulty was addressed by Annan and I think any agreed solution has to be based on the same... again someone like Mmmm could probably answer this far better than I



Because of your question... I ran a quick search just to see how this works, in reverse as it were, re a TC claim in the south. The most obvious case was the claim for the land used for Larnaca Airport. I think a claim for millions was reprised with an offer of £22,000 plus any interest accrued since '74 and only when and if a solution is found... anyway it makes interesting reading and here is one link... there are loads...



http://www.cyprus-mail.com/news/main.php?id=20288&cat_id=1



There is a second case on the link re Arif Mustafa?

Thanks for that. So he was claiming £100m and the RoC reckoned they would give him £22k. Even with interest that sounds like he was being asked to accept 1/1000 th of his claimed value! Shocking! What the hell is wrong with people!

Hi Mmm



re "you are letting your "bias" / reasoning slip ! - they AREN'T "recognised" international frontiers ( "borders") to most nations !



Reasoning perhaps certainly not bias... because I have no set thoughts as to whether I am passing through borders,barriers or whatever... all I know is I have to present my passport/ visa etc when passing from one side to the other and like most people accept the status quo. In fact I am so unbiased that when I am in the south or the north I respect the laws of both sides... surely you would not advise me to disrespect either... ?



I did not know Gary Robb was an elected official

What I do know is that the DPM and PM were both democratically elected and even those on here decrying the guarantee admit to that simply by saying... well he might not be after the upcoming elections... they cannot have it both ways?

YES, TCs had to leave, felt they had to leave, were paid to leave and PRE 74 - we must not forget that.





TCs can do and have reclaimed their land / property in the "south" - some never left...



TC land should not be sold for private gain



The RoC law is that a TC wishing to reclaim his land most live in the "rump" RoC for six months - which to me - sounds unfair - and could be challenged.



NOT perfect - but a HELL of a lot fairer than if you're a GC who lost out.. well until the IPC came along .. the "fairness" of which the ECHR have yet to decide...



More GCs should TEST it...

Having just returned from TRNC and experienced the vibrant level of political hustings. I am confident for the continuation and prosperity of the region as a democratic administration all be it supported by Turkish guarantee.



The property issues are becomming less of an issue to most inhabitants as well as myself. The level of political activity in and around the Eastern Mediteranean and Middle East will not prioritise upon the very solvable property issues.

Mr Obamas visit to Turkey and the reported interst of the USA in siting a military station in TRNC signify a distinct level of optimism for a Cyprus solution.



The path to acceptance and release from embargo for TRNC is clearly on the cards if TRNC and Turkey play their cards ( and they have a few aces) right.



It is the ROC whose hand of cards diminishes with time as they have far less international clout than Turkey. The ROC may well be driven into acceptance of a solution. One that will be far lesser than that of 2004

Hi Saints and Clayton,



VinceHugo asked similar questions re this issue and as pointed out above I also wondered the same, so did a quick search and the first link that came up was:



http://www.cyprus-mail.com/news/main.php?id=20288&cat_id=1



Bear in my mind there are many such links and therefore differing views but worth looking at just to give a view from the other side as it where.



For my own part it just shows just how difficult and intricate such land questions are/ have become and perhaps reflects the difficulties facing both sets of politicians when discussing the "Cyprus problem"

On the same link it reports:



"A landmark case last year, involving the return of a house to Turkish Cypriot Arif Mustafa, was put on hold when the Supreme Court suspended an initial order to return the property to its original owner. Though the court accepted Mustafa’s claim as rightful, it postponed execution of the order when the Attorney-general appealed the decision. The issue had deep political undertones, as the house is currently used by Greek Cypriot refugees."



To be fair...This surely shows how difficult this has all become.



In all honesty would any of us want to see a family, GC or otherwise, chucked out of a house that has become their home, where their children have been born and neighbours are friends etc. They could lose everything... and might not have a claim for land in the north to offset such loss.



This is why I think they can only deal with the status quo... on both sides ...

Otherwise we are back to '64 and 74 etc



Just my thoughts

Dear Warren, re msg 130



I hope when you reacclimatise and "smell the coffee", so to speak you'll realise how unlikely prosperity and continued support from Turkey - at even the continued level is going to be.. Turkey needs funds from the IMF... and the IMF dictate terms for loans.



"The property issues are becomming less of an issue to most inhabitants as well as myself" .. hmm, with he Orams' case coming up that REALLY sounds like someone in a different time continuum.



"the reported interst of the USA in siting a military station in TRNC".. well her's one poster that is prepared to bet you that will be EXTREMELY unlikely officially - while the RoC has official claim to the whole of the island.



The "release from embargo" in and always was in the hands of TCs .. who put themselves in the position of GCs being ABLE to "dictate" terms.. *I* don't see the UN resolution re the NON status of "TRNC" changing, US "support" or no, without some major progress from WITHIN Cyprus.

Hi Joseph Re Msg 141



I've raised the point you make before about the reciprocal activity which would surely take place if GC's took back land in the North. TC's (or those who have purchased off TC's) would/should be entitled to take back their land in the South creating many refugees in the RoC. I tried to have a grown up discussion with Juliet about it but, funnily enough, she didn't seem too keen to explore this aspect of a property solution!

I am one of the few and there probably are a few that would not fight to keep my place in TRNC if a GC had been forced of the land where my place is and had proven documented claim. If they wanted it back as they were going to live in it they could have it, or negotiate compensation on a scale that was brought in by the EU or who ever. IF it was proven to still belong to a displaced person or thier decendants, despite the fact that I purchased it in good faith.

" all I know is I have to present my passport/ visa etc when passing from one side to the other"



Well actually one can present an ID card, and I have to do this when flying from Bristol to Belfast, but I'm not leaving the UK.. ;) I certain;y don't recognise "TRNC" by proving who I am...

Does this count for Larnaca then or not ?, and to answer your ramblings ask yourself this if you had treated people with more civility and humanity this mess would have been sorted out years ago.

Thank you, know I wonder how many people actually would make a claim for the land and want to move back to the North or how many people are now resettled and just want money or then again how many people are settled have moved on and just want to get on with thier lives.

Anyway, I sincerely hope that the outcome of any talks or judgements etc allows people on both sides of the line to move on ammicably. It seems to be a difficult situation to solve.

Why do we continually keep have to referring to pseudonyms such as Pikey, Macha and Cylad. This is becoming ridiculous. Either Izzet allows a poster to be here under their real identity or not. I prefer that we post openly under our own identity.

You've not much up on the Geography / topography of Cyprus, are you, Turtle?



1/ When Nicosia International became a no go zone, the TCs took Tymbou ( Ercan)..



2/ The GCs were left with Paphos - 100 miles away...



Larnaca was a small airfield -far enough away from TR viewing points, and in betwen the UK SBA airport at Akrotiri and another north of the Eastern SBA



Do tell, WHERE would YOU have located the airport?

Mark, why do you continuously have to try and belittle people, perhaps its in your nature or perhaps you are just a person who has to have the upper hand but hey ho you have to live with this not me.





What I meant *WAS* Paphos was a small airport nowhere near big enough to take the traffic and Larnaca was the obvious choice and a big poke in the eye for the north thats why it was built.

Now if you want score points on every subject that fine, but please act like an adult not some spoilt little boy who wants his own way all the time.

"why do you continuously have to try and belittle people" - well in YOUR case it comes EASY..



You offer "one line retorts" and never back 'em up with some facts..



I hardly think that having to drive 35 miles to an airport that was very third world was a "poke in the eye"..



Face it, it is easy to be "superior" when one's "opponent" spouts nonsense.. and is obviously CLUELESS.

Hi Lem... well said.



But... I thought everyone knew Macha's name etc because to be fair he did point to one of his articles, under his name, on another tag ?



Reading Macha's profile I noticed it claimed an expertise on:

"psychological operations and information warfare"



Hope you're kidding on that one Macha

Hi mmmmmmmmm,



Re Larnaca Airport.



What I think you and a few others are carefully not acknowledging is that the term "Compulsory Purchase" refers to the act itself. i.e. the state requires the land and you will sell it to them whether you want to or not. What it does not do is suggest that said purchase be carried out at anything less than full market value.



See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_purchase



Now, if the GC gov reckons that 22k was full market value in 1974, plus interest if applicable, this gives us a starting figure for compensation, when applied, of GC property in the North, does it not?



Also please note that the word purchase actually refers to money changing hands in exchange for that which is purchased. Has the legal owner of the land in question actually been paid anything?

Dear "TRNC"Vaughan, re msg 170



Maybe you missed it,on other boards but :



1/ assuming we can actually agree that the GCs had to locate and extend an airport somewhere



2/ and that the choices were very limited



They should have compensated the TCs adequately !

Hi mmmmmmm,



You haven't really answered my questions.



I'm not so interested in why the GCs built Larnaca airport where they did. What I am trying to point out is that a compulsory purchase is one that is often done between a "willing" buyer and an "unwilling" seller. What it is not is a purchase that is done at less than at fair market value, such valuation open to appeal and independant valuation.

The GC goverment has set a precedent by valuing the land in question at 22k, this being 1974 value, plus nominal interest.



Having set that precedent can we now assume that they will now accept:



1. There is a case for compensation rather than return under certain circumstances, these circumstances to be decided not necessarily by the owner.

2. That 1974 value, plus nominal interest is a fair valuation for compensation on GC land in the North?

Seems to be a significant amount of bantter relatting to Larnaca airport and the land it occupies.



The bigger picture is very clear. The Deputy Prime Minister of TRNC has felt secure enough to prenounce a security guarantee for property purchased in the TRNC.

Many will view this as a just another political statement from the Administration. Others will feel more secure in their assessment of risk. Everyone is entitled to their own interpretation of the said guarantee.



It is very clear to me that there is very little likelyhood of any return of land and properties to either TC's or GC,s. Of course the civil legal pedantics will continue but will continue to decline. The Property Commission, in my view, will emerge as the settlement route for the few remmaing claims.

Property issues, in the current political climate in the middle and near East will certainly be well down the agenda of the UN, EU Turkey and USA military aspirations.

Well, I thought we'd covered this, but if my opinion counts YES - public works projects count as a reason to receive compo, and I've already said the compo the the "rump" RoC are talking about isn't good enough..



Please note, as a member has pointed out - the "TRNC" ain't that hot at settling up fairly - so I hope we're communicating away from our glasshouses ;) ?!

I fear that it is you sir that is mistaken.

Civil litigation is not the driving force to a Cyprus solution. The Cyprus problem arose well before litigation became a potential ticket for material gain. The clear international and political will is the driving force for solution.

The Cyprus Problem is ill suited for resolution in the Civil Courts.



I fully accept that the TRNC is supported by Turkey. This is acceptable and correct. The Administration is not however a puppet of the Turkish Government. I am happy to read any definitive evidence to support your theory. I am not amenable to unqualified evidence from unqualified posters or persons that are unable to be definitive.

"In the instant case, the Court stressed that Turkey’s responsibility under the Convention could not be confined to the acts of its own soldiers and officials operating in northern Cyprus but was also engaged by virtue of the acts of the local administration ("the TRNC"), which survived by virtue of Turkish military and other support."



I think that is pretty definitive and I respectively ask, sir , WHO is the poster who is "unqualified"... !
