The breakaway regime is reportedly continuing the distribution of title-deeds for the occupied Greek Cypriot properties
Turkish Cypriot daily Ortam newspaper (22.04.08 ), under the title “The process of title deeds from rent continues”, reports that in spite of the statements of the Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat that the Turkish side is ready for a solution in the Cyprus problem, the breakaway regime continues to distribute title deeds to those who are “renting” a Greek Cypriot property in the occupied areas.
The paper notes, inter alia the following:
“In spite of the statements made by president Talat and prime minister Soyer that ‘we intent to solve the Cyprus problem until the end of 2008’, they close their eyes to the carrying out of procedures which will make the property issue, which is known as one of the most problematic issues in an agreement, more difficult. In spite of the warnings made before by Ortam newspaper on this issue, it has been found out that the procedures of giving title deeds to those who hold Greek Cypriot property continue. It is claimed that Talat and Soyer are implementing the orders they take during their one-to one meetings they hold behind the doors in Ankara. ...”.
The paper notes that the Turkish officials have demanded from Mr Talat and Mr Soyer to give title deeds especially to people from Turkey who “rent” occupied Greek Cypriot property and pointed out that this should be done very quickly. The paper writes that the Turkish officials threatened Mr Talat and Mr Soyer that they could re-evaluate the aid they send to the occupied areas in case this is not done quickly.
