What I would like to know, is why a "Greek" Lawyer sees it fit and appropriate to represent a bunch of carpetbaggers with their claim against Turkey/"trnc" when the lands they supposedly bought were probably stolen from the GCs!

Reading through the cyprus44.com link it seems there are three women involved. Because of the stress of losing their life savings, one woman has lost her husband while the other two have husbands whose health has deteriorated badly. I'd say they have already paid heavily for their stupid and opportunistic misdemeanour.

They are now on a quest for "justice". The damage the publicity from this case will do to the "TRNC" is immeasurable and all the carpetbaggers know it as they are desparately trying to dissuade the women from pursuing.

We must consider the possibility that this is some kind of way of pressuring the Tnucland regime in long-running matters of dispute between some of the CarpetBaggers and the Regime.

In any event potentially exploitable cracks are appearing.

Next step the ECHR.

Hey Bill, I've noticed that "our Court" has not been sitting since before Xmas. I wonder if the old boys are "cogitating" Orams? Must watch the lists next week perhaps we'll get a date soon, I read somewhere they have to make judgment within 3 months.

Sorry Jerry, don't know whether there's a three month rule. Have been checking the lists daily.

It seems the women are also getting many emails from other people asking if they can join them in the US class action.

[denizaksulu]

A group of "cheated trnc" property buyers from the UK are joining in the class action against Turkey in their search for justice. It looks like they are being represented by a Greek lawyer, the TSIMPEDES LAW FIRM, in the US.

Here's a taster: - We have given the TRNC and its legal system every single opportunity to put things right over the last 6 years and now we find that we have hit the usual brick wall and mountains of lies. Therefore this offer has been made to us, and we have absolutely nothing financial to lose. We have no intention of ever returning to Cyprus and judging from the mountains of emails received in the last hour, we have many wishing to join us

The whole "debate" is "HOT" on thieves forum: -

I have the same sympathy for these people as they have for the displaced Greek Cypriots whose land they sought to occupy - none!

They are still carpetbaggers. Had the Northern authorities acceded to their demands (whatever they were) where would your sympathies lie then?

This is exactly how I am reading it also

An interesting side point is that the Lawyers involved are the same company who is suing the US Govt for the supply of Arms to the TRCN

Now in the short term this action may not help the GCs return to their property But hopefully it will put a stop to sales of property built on stolen land in the future due to more public awareness of the situation, and also stop the theives from making any gain from their illegally bought properties

Yes ok D, but even if Tnucland Regime gives in to their demands, there still remains the huge matter of what any court, (leaving aside the motives of the Carpetbaggers) would see as mis-selling based on worthless kochans.

Ultimately the dodgy kochans matter must come before the courts, in actions brought against Turkey by some of the Carpetbaggers.

As to where our sympathies lie, surely it is a case of being consistent in one's arguments and with me that consistency comes through a faith in legalities and the judicial system, no matter the end result.

Where did you think I got the info from

I was sure I recognised the name and went searching for your post (took me best part of an hour to find)

This is potentially another, quite serious, nail in the coffin of the "TRNC", RichardB. For so long Turkey has got away with propagating the myth that their swiping of northern Cyprus is a "Greek" verses "Turk" regional dispute.

These three desperate British widow/widows-to-be, with nothing to lose, are now driven to show the world it's something much more sinister.
