restitution can only happen with the liberation of the north part of Cyprus from the foreign invaders. Even if the invaders would be willing to allow a few Greek Cypriots to return to their lands, the Greek Cypriots would not want to do so under occupation and the oppressive rule of Turkey.
Therefore, until Cyprus will be liberated from the invaders, the Cypriot people will sue the individuals who are illegally trespassing on their land. This can be done for everybody who has assets in EU, including the TCs who have assets in the free areas of Cyprus.
Therefore there will be neither restitution (until a solution is found) nor a compensation in exchange for our properties. Most people will choose to apply to the courts of Cyprus against individuals in the occupied areas (foreigners and TCs) who trespass on their land and in this way receive what will in effect be compensation for the loss of use of their properties, while the trespasser, who is commiting a criminal offense, will not only have to pay the compensation and the legal fees, but he might also end up in jail if he does not cooperate properly.
