The monumental outcome on Tuesday the 19th at The Royal Courts Of Justice not only has it endorsed the irrefutable authenticity of the RoC CLAIM OF SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE ENTIRE ISLAND , but at the same time has fortified the claims of the dispossessed to their legitimate properties in the occupied part of Cyprus.
Such an historic conjuncture in the History of Cyprus since the 1974 Turkish invasion , one that without membership of the EU could not have been achieved , so the doubters concerning Cyprus's entry into the EU ARE SILENCED FOR EVER , and so are those that considered a war as an option in resolving the Cyprob . So much has been achieved without a bullet fired without one drop of blood shed , the political war is our option .
Turkey has been sent a clear message in that the legalities that she so flagrantly ignores will impose the rule of law regardless.

Much has been written about this Court decision , let there be no mistake that the law equally applies to the RoC and there is much that is required to be done if we are to avoid similar actions . T/Cs have to satisfy the conditions placed in reclaiming their properties by having to live in the RoC for six months. We must ask ourselves as to how will they survive this lengthy period without assistance from the government. Furthermore let us remember that we have thousands of foreign buyers in the RoC WHO HAVING PAID THEIR MONEY ARE STILL TO RECEIVE DEEDS TO THEIR PROPERTIES !
We have celebrated the victory of Mr Apostolides but let us emphasize that this was not a victory over our compatriots the T/Cs but a victory for justice law and order , and law and order must be strengthened in our backyard .

Well said Kitchen Blender, but am still unhappy with the 6 month residency rule. It's outlived its time, and it discriminates against a small group of the EU Citizenry.

It wouldn't hold water if challenged outside the Republic.

All Europeans now mate, but you know that. Refer you to RoC passports RoC ID Cards, RoC National Insurance etc etc

If anything it should be extended to 5 years before a TC can sell property in the unoccupied area otherwise many will take advantage of the situation and sell off just to live happily ever after in the occupied territory while their GC counterparts can’t enjoy the same rights.

Sorry to say but this will have as much effect on Turkey as the un sanctions had on Saddam. All it will do is hurt ordinary TCs economically and that is the real shameful part of it.
Even after the talk the lawyer gave regarding attacking another sector (tourism) in the north, do you really in all honesty still believe that this is a case of human rights of this man?

Then someone who isn't lazy should challenge it and stop expecting things simply to be handed out on a plate. Freedom isn't free.

Things don't work like that and the quicker the TCs learn this the better because they will be in for a major, major shock when they are compelled to operate in the real world. The only way to avoid being treated like a second class citizen is with first-class effort and thinking.

Quit moaning. Get up off your arses and do something for yourselves. The writing's on the wall. Energy, effort, quick-wittedness is what's needed if you're going to come out of this with any dignity intact.

The north is going down, YFred. There will be pain. But no pain, no gain.

The pen better be mightier than the sword only because we have a "mother" which is nothing more than a tin pot nation of cowards that can't even look after itself. If anyone is of the opinion that Turkey is going to voluntarily withdraw from Cyprus because the international community only recognize RoC sovereignty over the entire island or due to agreed peace settlement or EU pressure, is seriously deluded.
