Greek daily Politis wrote that the Greek Land Registry Administration had announced the total amount of compensation to be paid for Greek property in Turkish Cyprus as 4 billion euros. The report said 81.4 percent of the land on the island belonged to Greeks and 16.8 percent belonged to Turks, while Turkish Cyprus Cyprus maintains that 71.5 percent of the land belongs to Greeks and 26.7 percent belongs to Turks (with the remaining 1.8 percent belongs to other property holders). Is there ever going to be a simple way to rectify this?

Cyprus is Hellenic 100% you little Turk!

What counts are the real facts and those are the ones that the Land Registry of Cyprus has, not whatever nonsense anybody else says.

Also why don't you tell us where this "Turkish Cyprus" is? What part of Cyprus belongs wholly or mostly to TCs to make that part "Turkish"?

All the land that TCs own is spread across Cyprus and they do not own wholly or mostly any part of it. Therefore there is no such thing as "Turkish Cyprus", and only criminals who want to artificially create some "Turkish Cyprus" by means of stealing and ethnic cleansing can support such thing.

Are you a criminal Expatkiwi?

Partition is a better choice than anarchy. After all, forcing a bitterly divorced couple to live under one roof is doomed to failure...

We never got "married" to any Turks. They came here without our agreement by invading our island and forcefully imposing themselves. If they don't want to live under one roof with the majority of the population of this island then they have the right to go back from where they came from so they can live among a majority of Turks. But they have no right to commit crimes such as stealing and ethnic cleansing.

Hello 1960 agreements we a form of union which is considered as a marriage of the 2 communites, ignoring it or denying it will not get you anywhere...is it the basis for any future solution.

The percentages are the GC figures which are not correct. The figures will be checked and double checked with unbiased international historians to see what the figures were before they were doctored by the GCs to suit them. You will find that the TC figures are nearer the mark. It will come out in the negotiations.

The land registry records go back to the British rule you moron. Or maybe you want to go to go back to the Ottoman rule? Then maybe we should check history even before that. You will find that you own 0% and everything you have today you stole it!

What you are saying is that the pieces of paper I have that says this is my land, is just in my imagination.
Who let you out of your cage; go back in and at double quick. Marsh marsh.

I can see there's not much doubt in your mind, except that I'm not a Turk, or little. I sympathise with the Turkish Cypriots, yes. Of that, I'm proud. It's folk like you that help vindicate my stance. Thank you for that.

Still, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that between 1963 and 1964, while the records were under GC control, that they were discretely altered. Now, that is just speculation on my part, but given the prevailing attitudes of that time, such a thing is not improbable.

On a personal note, Sotos: you accuse me of being very close-minded and insensitive to your view. If you can show me some independent sources (and I mean totally apolitical sources at that) which can show me to be wrong to support the Turkish Cypriots and you to be right, please let me know.
