Hundreds of refugees to get title deeds after Easter
MORE THAN 800 title deeds to state-built homes will be handed to refugee families immediately after the Easter holidays, Interior Minister Neoklis Silikiotis said.
Silikiotis said title deeds would continue to be handed to families every three months to meet the government’s target under an existing deed transfer scheme.
The scheme foresees the transfer of 13,500 title deeds for refugee homes built on state-owned land by the end of 2008.
Silikiotis said his ministry has already contacted lawyers and administrators of Turkish Cypriot-owned property on which settlements have been built so that the state can purchase the land.
He said new legislation will be put forward granting refugees use and possession certificates for homes built on Turkish Cypriot property.

Scrutiny

Authorities would ensure the certificates stand up to legal scrutiny.
More difficult and time-consuming plans are underway to divvy up state-owned land into plots that would be given to refugees who live in homes built on Turkish Cypriot land.
Silikiotis said legal difficulties associated with expropriations have made the government opt for purchasing land from Turkish Cypriots willing to sell.
The minister said he had already informed cabinet colleagues about all refugee settlements built on Turkish Cypriot land in the first days after assuming his post.
The government initiated title deed transfer plans last year to defuse mounting frustration among refugees unable to return home following the rejection of the UN reunification blueprint.
That frustration was compounded by runaway illegal development of Greek Cypriot land in the occupied north.
Under the deed transfer plan, plots carved out of 4,000 donums of state land would be divided up among 8,556 refugee families living in homes built on Turkish Cypriot property.
Another 4,956 refugees living in Turkish Cypriot homes would be allotted plots demarcated from 2,000 donums of state land.

Dispersed

Those plots would be dispersed throughout the government-controlled areas – 200 donums in Nicosia, 800 in Limassol 900 in Larnaca and 100 in Paphos.
The plan is estimated to drain more than £150m from state coffers.

So whats your problem?

If you ask me, since you stole twice the land than what belongs to you and you forced us to live in an area much smaller than what proportionately belongs to us, then at the very least we are entitled to do whatever we want with that remaining land, until you give what you stole back.

However the super greedy TCs like you, want to illegally keep just for themselves twice as much than what belongs to them, and at the same time share the rest! Greediness at its best!

So say there is a TC that owns 10 donums of land in Limassol and a GC that owns 10 donums of land in Kerynia. After the invasion the TC was given 20 donums of land in the occupied areas, while the GC refugee was just given a temporary home to live in, build on part of that TC's land.

Now according to Zan and some other greedy ones, the TC should keep the control of those 20 donums that were illegally given to him, plus keep control of the 10 donums he owns in Limassol, while the GC refugee should stay with nothing.

Sorry my friend, but RoC, the only legitimate state on this island, has every right to use all legal means a government can use (including expropriations) to try to protect the country and its citizens as best as it can from those outlaws and criminals that are trying to harm our country and its people.

Piratis whilst agree with some of your coments aboove in relation to the unethical confiscation of refugee property by the turkish speaking leadership and citizens, I disagree that turkish speaking cypriot land ought to be given to refugees, i believe as an intelligent society we need to live by example. I do agree that refugees ought to be given titles for their purpose built units/ homes just after the war. perhaps those occupying turkish speakind cypriot homes, could be given deeds of Greek speaking cypriot land or better still church owned land.

If we take turkish speaking cypriot land then we give them the opportunity to say they will never give it back and that has implications for human rights and the freedom of choice.

Two wrongs do not make a right my friend.

You are totally wrong and have learned nothing about what TCs and their views about returning land.

I think the ice you are walking on is thinner than a thin thing that has been thinned out. You want to excuse and cancel your crimes and take and take again from us and then you have no shame in trying to blame it on us once again. Lets make it perfectly clear that once again you are trying to blame Turkey and punish us the TCs. We will hold on to what we have got and you can do what ever you like with the land you have. The refugees are fast becoming non-refugees and your government giving them our land is proof of that. You cannot even see that the RoC is taking the cheep way out and does not want to compensate its own people for its own crimes. How you can turn this into a victory when it is clearly stuffing the people with less than their greed wanted is amazing. Nice try though. Your Government has given in to partition because it is the cheapest way out. Tpap wins again.

Maybe you should call it a day Zan, aren't you tired yet?

Thanks for your concern but I feel fine today. I take it that with your supper intelligence you have picked your words with care and from that I can only deduce that you agree with me as you chose not criticize what I am saying.

Seems like a political party and its head wants to stay in power...that's how I analyse it, electioneering and social engineering in its most naked power play
