"Ok, clever dick. Show me your pre-1571 Kochans and the whole of Cyprus is yours."

Perhaps back then it was not necessary to show a Kochan to prove your right to land. Different culture, different ways of doing business.

But now that we have Kochans, if we show them, do we get our lands? Or is this Kochan lark another one of those Turkish ploys, to be used whenever it suits the situation at hand? As I recall all KOchans were abolished in one stroke under the "consitution" of the TRNC and all GC land "nationalised" an act which does not show much respect for Kochans.

Absolutely right. You hve the Kochans, you own the property. Whether you are TC or GC. No one should have a problem with that, unless of course you are a partitionist, which I am NOT.

The point I was making, was that in those days, whether we likedit or not, the conquerer owned everything. What a great survivor was the Greek Orthodox church. Naturally when the Ottomans conquered Cyprus from the Venetians, The rulers properties reverted to the new ruling powers. This was the way it was in those days. Considering how 'bad' the Ottomas were, the Greek Cypriot population did very well (vis a vis property), dont you agree. Dont blame the TC's forall this, they did not exist then.

Our great thanks for the civilization, culture and Humanity, Ottomans / Turks and other animals brought us in Cyprus. We will be greatefull to you until we "CAN" sent you out of the Island.

You'll be lucky.

Now back into your own orifice.
