“Efkav” was Ottoman-CONFISCATED Cypriot land throughout the island, supposedly “set aside for Allah” but in reality it was being commercially exploited to the max by the corrupt and oppressive Ottoman community, at the expense of Cypriots.
Ever since the 1944 "Immovable Property Law” came into force, most of this stolen land was returned to the rightful indigenous Cypriots over successive counter-confiscations conducted by the British administration of Cyprus so what the hell do you think is left of “Efkav land” today? Not much…
It’s the surrounding back yards of Mosques, Muslim cemeteries, and other special religious places like that of Tekke, etc. Big deal!
This is one of the funniest posts of today for sure!
One Empire calls the other Empire a thief and tells them to give the land back while holding on to land half way around the fucking world
Even better, they claim that the Ottoman's were "commercially exploiting the island", I am still living in the shit the CMC left behind and that is just a drop in the ocean of British scumbags exploitation of this island!
And to top it all some poor GC supports all these claims till the end, bitches about his lost heritage when caring not for the heritage of his fellow Cypriots.
Yeah take whatever you can get, very noble of you
What was it that you said about "wank" GR?
The Ottomans confiscated Cypriot land for THEIR benefit (how convenient! ) whereas the Brits gave it back to the natives!
Which of the two is more honorable?
"Gave back" does not quite fit in with existence of EOKA does it?
If the British scums were to just "give things back" we would not be in this mess in the first place, don't play the fool GR you do know better I am sure...
Maybe we should also talk about everything the Ottoman's actually "gave you" ?
