Wonder if the door from my grandfather's house is there among the other "antiques". The door and windows were taken off the house and then they demolished the rest of it. The roof timbers (viligia) were also taken away.

The stuff has added value because my grandfather was the village engineer and had high standards in construction. The door especially was admired because it was heavier than most and the ironwork was specially designed.

They asked where one can get old objects for restoring their house, so I told them of one place in Kyrenia. I do not know where the objects came from, although it is quite likely that some of the items are from old Greek Cypriot houses. It is a great shame that your Grandfathers house was demolished, especially as nearly everything can be reproduced to look original these days without destroying old properties.

what is more ashame is that the British, Irish, Israelie's and Rusians are encouraging it by supporting the illegal activites that take place each day in the occupied areas. What is more ashame is that people do not take responsibility to kerb violation of human rights. I do not expect you to understand Tess.

Humanist, I have said so many times that I do not support the selling off of Greek Cypriot properties. I agree that it is up to the individuals concerned to look to themselves when deciding to purchase objects, properties or lands that are owned by Greek Cypriots. If I were restoring an old house, I would personally use reproduction rather than stripped items from original houses. However while there are buyers, there will always be sellers - and its like that the world over.

Humanist looting has been done at both side of the villages . Tell me what happened to collapsed TC's at your side . What happened to those doors and timbers at Istinjo village that you have visited . no one understand each other humanist . Next time when u come to Cyprus go and see those villages (TC'S) at south . and ask yourself what happened to these houses stones ..... are they disappear by itself . Both sides are quilty on this .

[humanist]

halil, I remember the very few years soon after the war visiting some villages n Paphos with my parents and whole villages were untouched. I supsect Instinjo fell apart from disrepair. There is no doubt that looting has occurred n both sides, however the exploitation of properties in the occupied areas is more prevalent and infact excused by the administration.

our ancestral home is currently occupied and I hope that it is by a TC family because they had to live somewhere after the war. to this end I accept this is how things are. however I would be very angry if it was sold like some other peoples on this forum.

the difference also is that you guys think its okay and because it happened to a GC. well i think it sucks and I will never accept your actions. I am all for TC's reclaiming the properties where as you guys say wel its too bad we won the war now get lost. at least that is the attitude that I get coming from the TC side.

anyway, you have made your stance very clear, I disagree and will never accept it so I don't know why we are even having this conversation.

Tess, thank you for not supporting the sale of second hand goods, however the fact that you live there you support the illegalities. and what saddens me more is the TC population rather deny an original owner the right of return to their propeties but allow the irish, English, Russian and jews to buy and occupy the very same home. what can i say if that is the world justice that people value, shoot me dead. because I would never do that to an Irish person no matter who took over the country or how beautifu Ireland was, apart from the cold ofcourse
