Its interesting to note that the Polish government are compensating the people who lost their land with small amounts of money and have decided not yo Demolish great swathes of Warsaw to return them to the birch trees that use to grow there.

The Turks settling thousands of mainland Turkish civilians into North Cyprus and the English settling thousands of Scottish civilians into Northern Ireland in the 1800s.

In my book the Turks have have more right!

Turkey allowed all this to happen. They must pay any compensation to the alleged rightful owner.
