"...for every Brit who now occupies a GC property there was at least one TC who owned it before them. If we accept that international law treats the original ownership as theft then the final owners are only guilty of receiving stolen goods..."

I believe that the whole property issue will reach a head in 2010.

It is quite clear that immoveable property remains a major issue of contention in the current talks. The Courts are yet to rule opon the IPC and its effect as a local and just remedy. The Orams case remains undecided, in part because of the major political implications.



Original land and property owners are either deceased or have moved on to new and often more fruitful pastures. Second and third generation refugees settlers and displaced persons are more likely to forget and move on. Claims for retribution, revenge and compensation will become weaker , less prolific and somewhat diluted with time.

It is the political agenda, particularly human freedoms, rights and representation that must become the basis for settlement.

My hope is that the IPC will indeed be ratified as a just and proper means to settle ALL property issues and that will be an end to that Chapter within settlement discussions.

hmmm...



the question is of course are cases like the orams'

or even the hypothetical tc who sold his exchange plot,

only about reclaiming this or that bungalow



or is there a wider issue?



you had the gc side arguing that they might almost recapture north cyprus

through individual court cases



coupled with "progressive" changes like the opening of the green line

by legal moves...

as well as the blockade itself, though that aspect is not "progressive"!



while the orams are innocent and brave victims,

and the darksiders clearly long for a precedent to be set,

I just can't see the map of cyprus being changed this way,

indeed it makes all the hopes and dreams of an amicable settlement

look rather silly, as it were



finally a thread like this would normally have attracted gc-apologists

and the host of ambivalent also-rans

I can only assume that the one euro fee paid for each anti-trnc posting

is no longer being dished out due to the massive deficit in south cyprus
