Cyprus church sues Turkey over occupied north

The Greek Orthodox church of Cyprus has sued Turkey in a European court for allegedly preventing worship at religious sites in the divided island's breakaway Turkish Cypriot north, a church lawyer said Monday.
The lawsuit with the European Court of Human Rights concerns 520 churches, monasteries, chapels and cemeteries the church lost when Turkey invaded in 1974, after a coup by supporters of union with Greece, said Simos Angelides, a lawyer representing the church.
The Orthodox Christian faithful cannot worship at these sites because they are either derelict or have been converted into mosques, army barracks, stables or nightclubs, Angelides said.
Turkish officials were not immediately available for comment.

Couldn’t have thought it through much because only straights can breed… I guess Adam was the first joke that backfired!

Is it not unreasonable to assume that their views on the issue are not going to be ignored by the government?
What do you mean? When did land in the north of Cyprus stop being Cypriot? How did that happen? And did the owners give their permission?
Only one way of getting it back peacefully...a comprehensive solution.

If the Church is influencing the secular government in an overt way - particularly in regards to the Cyprus Problem - would it then be fait to say that the Republic of Cyprus resembles more of a theocracy than a democracy?
God's communist after all.
Oh no he is not. He is a Muslim.
