Turks claim their property in Crete

Dozens of Turks in Crete looking for the fortunes of their ancestors and how to claim. In recent months, Iraklion, Chania and Rethymno, and in other legal areas occurred mainly representatives, exploring the ability to record, first, the assets had Turkish Cretans grandparents, through contracts that were the state archives of the Turkish government, until 1898.

It says even the local newspaper, in some cases it seems that the search has come up in the archives of the Greek Foreign Ministry.

Impressive is the fact that the descendants of those who departed from the island before a century, or the exchange of populations after the Asia Minor catastrophe, knowing exactly where to find traces of ancestral property, which means that their research not starting until now, nor that it is only for historical reasons.

It is well equipped with search and data files then a translation bureau, which were all Turkish archives and acts made by the Ottomans.

Indeed, there are cases where the investigations concern even in areas where currently operating public buildings.

Representatives from Turkey "stakeholders" are clear, however, that it would not challenge the ownership of those assets will appreciate that legally transferred to the next owners. But surely this will happen as they, through their legal advisers, Turks and Greeks believe that they are legally transferred.

The investigation has been launched at all, almost all the local authorities in Crete, which those believing that there is any evidence that might lead them to establish property rights, which they intend to pursue even at international courts.

In the official census was done in 1881 by the Ottomans in Crete was 72,353, of whom about 33,000 are living in Iraklion, the 18,000 in the current prefecture of Chania, Rethymnon and 13 000 in 8000 to Lasithi.

After the liberation from the Turks, the autonomous Cretan state has its own inventory in 1900. The Turkish Cretans was about 39,000, as well as thousands fled to Turkey and even to America. In the census of 1911 found fewer than 28,000. Their population had declined further to around 1922, and the Treaty of Lausanne and the exchange of Christian and Muslim populations in January 1923 and left last.

Wait until the greeks start claiming in istanbul/constantinople

Most Greek property in Istanbul is held under a foundation controlled by the Greek Federation in Turkey (closely associated to the Patriarch) All property that has not been included in the foundation can be currently claimed by the owners or their legal descendents. In around 5 years time all unclaimed property will then fall under the Turkish culture ministry.

Since Greeks arrived in Cyprus.

But, Deniz, the Greeks did not invade Cyprus. When they first came bananiots welcome them with open arms, because they were the bearers of an advance civilisation. Or, as Jesus said, the time has come for the son of God to be glorified. That was his first reaction when he encountered Greeks. I heard he later had second thoughts and perhaps he cursed the moment he uttered those words. But, this has not deterred us one bit and today we have our own private God. The God of the Greeks!
