How can people let this happen, that place is an absolute beauty and not worth any money let alone 15 million god dam pounds
Welcome back, Shah.
As I remember few months ago, this place was up for a sale again and Talat put a stop to it so not to hurt the negotiations. Sounds to me like those who are holding fake deeds to this place are eager to cash in before a settlement is reached. In the end, anyone who is going to lose, is the sucker who buys it, but somehow, no one is going to spend 15 million Pounds without investigating who the land really belongs to, which I suspect, will be state land belonging to the RoC.
Hello Kikapu,
Sounds like a dead end plan, and hopefully it will be so.
However I don't understand the part about it "belonging to the RoC".
Without going into the whole "who is legal and who isn't" argy-bargy; surely it belongs to the Cypriots as a whole and not only to the ones down South?
If it really is state owned anyways.
Don't think any GC owns the place, do they?
Lets not kid ourselves, Shah. RoC has sovereignty over the whole island according to the UN and the EU, where as the "trnc", has ZERO sovereignty over anything. Only what ever land the Turkish Army is holding for now which is not legal according to the UN or the International community in general. So, when I say state land belonging to the RoC, that's what it means, a state land belonging to the RoC government, by which it is owned by all Cypriots, TCs and GC and all other minorities alike. In the event of a settlement, I suspect most of the present RoC state owned land will become Federal Land, which once again will belong to all Cypriots. In a BBF of a north and a south states, then each of those state will also own state (public) land for their states, which will belong to all citizens living within those state.
As to who owns the land, which is the question you raised, this is what the article say;
"The land project consists of 178 privately owned Donums ( original esdeger kocan; i.e. title deeds issued against this family's own extraordinarily valuable Turkish Cypriot land in South Cyprus) and approximately 1,100 Donums of Long-term leased land from the Government for a total of approximately 1,280 donums. The Seller undertakes to transfer the Leased land contract to the Buyer at Closing at no extra cost."

Clearly it appears to be either GC land that has been "exchanged" for TC land in the south and RoC state land.
