I posted this question by accident over an hour and was so full of rage I went a little over the top[intending to revise it completly which i have done.I am new to posting on the Forum although I have been reading for a while on and the off. I really like this forum as it connects me to cyprus issues. my question is a sensitive one and i am not making generalizations. Please forgive to me if this is long winded.

We all know that Turkey illegally invaded and commited mass theft by stealing 38% of Cyprus. We all were in dismay about the ECHR decision(on the IPC- or Turkish theft and compensate a little commission) several weeks ago. But can we still go to the ECHR , not just for loss of properties but for loss of the thing that we need to even get to the IPC, Title deeds.

Turkey invaded and as thousands of murderous troops were rampaging across northern Cyprus many Greek Cypriots escaped with their shirts on their backs as in my father's case. My Greek Cypriot father was in a W African country, (where I was born) at the time building up a succesful business but his title deeds were all left in a North Cyprus attorneys firm office. Several years later he also lost all his African property and business due to a Coup. He sadly passed away in West Europe, (almost pennyless) without getting any of his title deeds back.

Are the GC title deeds not still kept in the illegally Turkish occupied Famagusta, Kyrenia land registry office's ? If So why cant the Turks come clean and allow people to get their title deeds. They have provided an incentive for ratty people with contacts , of all nationalities to illegally register title deeds into their own names

We all know that property was always a very sensitive point in Cyprus. My late father left Cyprus for A Africa in the 1950s one of reasons being that all his families land was taken by money lenders. This happened to thousands of families.

Does anyone know if there is a way to legally oblige Turkey to provide the title deeds left in occupied Famagusta and Kyrenia ? I want the property back not just for financial reasons but to honour my late fathers name. Sorry i could not spell check since an error was found in the server and I'm on shift right now.

It seems to me, you need to sort your deeds out in the roc first and then take them to IPC in the north?

Hi,
The title deeds which were registered in the Famagusta Land registry office where moved and re-filed at the Larnaca Land Registry office, certain title deeds if not all of the title deeds which were in the Famagusta Land Registry Office. I was just there awhile ago and picked up copies from the Larnaca Land Registry Office, we (me and my family) decided to hire attorney Mr. Achellias Demetriades (I am sure you heard of him) to submit our claim vs. Turkey to the ECHR the case was admitted, submitted, and given an index number to be heard, but due to the recent ECHR decision that the Immovable Property Committee (now under the administration of Ankara rather than the TRNC) has become legal the claim is being diverted to the IPC for a settlement Mr. Demetriades is handling the matters.
Contact the other Land Registry Office for a copy, they have been refiled and computerized into the system safe and sound (start with the Land Registry Office in Larnaca).
I hope the information is helpful.... Alex C. Alexandrou

have replied to this on another thread.

No you can oblige Turkey to do anything. Unless you are Bin Laden and nuke the MFs you are shafted.

Sorry to hear of your fathers plight, your story is similar to many others.

On your earlier post (before u re-edit your writing) u said that some of your family members were some how they were converted the deeds on them. When did you find out this information ? why u needed to delete this information ?

I live in Kyrenia discrete, every title deeds have copies in Nicosia land registery office u can easily u get your copies from them . with them u can apply to IPC . But do it with solicitor.
