Well this idiot carpetbagger's site is still working, he posted this last night:-


I have had many e-mails over the last 24 hours referring to the EU judgment in the Orams case. Some of them point me to articles in UK newspapers such as The Telegraph, which as always show biased reporting, with little or no research being done to the true facts of the situation out here.
The summary of the judgment is as follows:-


The EU's top court has backed the right of a Greek Cypriot to reclaim land in Turkish-controlled northern Cyprus that has since been sold to a UK couple.

This was the headline statement as a result of the European Court decision yesterday on the Orams case. The headline backs the original court judgment made 4/5 years ago and this judgment was exactly as expected from one EU court, namely in the Republic of Cyprus and the EU’s top court.

The European Court of Justice says a ruling in a Cypriot court that the villa must be demolished, is applicable.

But this subsequent statement is the important one.

Even if the EU ruling cannot be enacted because the land is under Turkish Cypriot control, it means Mr Apostolides will be able to pursue a claim for compensation in a UK court.

This clearly means that he can only claim compensation for the land and there is an EU sponsored “Compensation Claims Boardâ€￾ already set up for this purpose, here in the TRNC. Over 300 claims have been made by Greek Cypriots through this court and these have either been settled by compensation or had land returned to them that was still under government ownership. So the likely outcome of any claim through British courts is to have the action referred back to the Compensation Claims Board.

The court ruling has not said at any time that claims can be made against any property in UK.

In view of the fact that a number of Greek Cypriots have already made compensation claims points clearly to the fact that all the Orams case has been political posturing of the worst sort.

What everybody should be aware of is the fact that there are many Turkish Cypriots with land and property deeds for areas in the South of the island. I am reliably advised that some of these people have tried for the last 5 years to get their claims heard in the courts of The Republic of Cyprus, but have been constantly denied access to the courts. Because of the non recognition of the North, these actions can only take place in the South, before being further processed in other EU courts. Clearly Greek Cypriots are using their EU influence to their own advantage and the EU should be made aware of the very worst decision they ever made, to accept the South into the EU after they rejected the Annan plan in the 2004 referendum. Since that date the EU has never kept it's promises to the TRNC.

Time will tell what the ultimate outcome will be, but hopefully compensation in some form or another is the ultimate outcome.

He has his house on the market and intends to move to France (some hope now) for health reasons. He demonstrates his inability to know what he is talking about by refering to The Immovable Properties Commission as the EU sponsored (news to me?) Compensation Claims Board.

I did say "non-TC people" because I wanted to remove the emotional attachment and thus tolerance that locals have, but foreigners??? It's beyond me.

If you adopted a child, would you love them less than your own? Are you incapable?
