“Upto three years imprisonment for Greek Cypriots and foreigners who bring notifications to `TRNC´ citizens”

Under the above title Turkish Cypriot daily KIBRIS newspaper (01.07.05) reports the following:
“A draft-law has been prepared which makes punishable the bringing notification to `TRNC´ citizens by foreigners regarding decisions of foreign or Greek Cypriot courts. According to the draft-law, which has been published in the official gazette after being approved by the Council of Ministers and which will be going into effect after its approval in the Republican Assembly, giving notification to `TRNC´ citizens regarding decisions of foreign courts without taking the permission of the `TRNC´ authorities will be regarded invalid. And those who gave out these notifications will be committing a crime. According to the draft-law, foreigners who act as judicial or executive officials and persons who give notifications regarding a decision of a foreign court on the immovable properties and regarding transactions of courts in Southern Cyprus, without taking the necessary permission from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will be regarded as having committed a crime and might be punished with imprisonment upto three years”.

Commenting on the issue, Turkish Cypriot daily AFRIKA newspaper (01.07.05) writes that “the fact that those who, in the beginning regarded that these notifications are in our favour and said that the Greek Cypriots will fall into the hole they themselves dug, recourse now to these means has caused amazement”.

The paper argues that the pseudogovernment is confused and does not know what it is doing. First they say “take these notifications and definitely go to the court” and announce that they will give a legal struggle, notes AFRIKA, and afterwards they changed their decision 100 % and they will be punishing those who hand over the notifications.

The paper urges the Greek Cypriots who have court notifications to serve to go ahead, because if they are put in prison Turkey will pay the price for it.

what does this mean?

what does this mean?

Demetre, it means that any GC or foreign national serving notice on a citizen of the TRNC that they will be taken to a RoC or 'foreign court' - meaning the ECHR - over possession of GC owned property in the north will face 3 years of imprisonment. Basically it's designed to deter the instances of GC solicitors and others crossing the buffer zone and telling people they are being prosecuted for illegal occupation of property.

Will that apply to DHL couriers though?
A crooky regime trying to protect other crooks and its own illegality.It floods me with contempt

[demetriou_74]

thats just plain scummy. it must be against one of the treaties or international laws. want to see how they explain that and try and get out of it

I guess if the DHL courier is a GC or foreign national, then they will be personally liable under this proposed law. Not sure if DHL have offices in the north. Not sure how it would work if the writ was faxed to an office in Kyrenia and then delivered by a TC...

Doesn't really sound workable to me, there will be a million ways around it, including by post via the Mersin 10 address.

[Viewpoint]

the situation will get a lot worse as things develop, as soon the first TC or GC is arrested then we will see the animosity and hate increase between our communities, is this what GCs want??? becasue thats what you are going to inflict on inter community relations you can feel proud.
I still have to go with the fact that all these legal cases are pure propaganda to effect development in the north and stop foreign investment, thus have a economical advantage over the north, these tactics are short term and will not pay dividends in the long run, the only way to solve the property issue is via a comprehensive solution which we seem to have drifted from to the current status quo, I want to stay in power position adopted by the Papa...

or how about a goverment built on the back of ethnic cleansing in the north of Cyprus and which still illegally holds properties of many Greek Cypriots...as well as ignoring the rulings of the ECHR.
