In answer to your question on property is simply this, the Property Issue has been described as one of the most horny of the elements preventing a UN Resolution to the Cyprus problem. A GC's property that may have been Abandoned in Northern Cyprus, and they really didn't HAVE to leave just like those in KARPAZ, is in the SAME possible as My family whom lost their Home in the Village of KOCCATI now on ther Greek Side. I went back recently and Found out the my property has been Destroyed, including its fields. What did I then do? I went to the "Immovable Property Commission" in the North and was compensated for my lost. This Commission is RECOGNISED by the EU and acts as a legal element helping to resolve the property chapter of a "UN" Settlement. Meanwhile, and I know what You are itching to say, if you want to return to Your so called Former property, like the Jew who used to own property in FORMER GERMANY pre1944, then it's tough - you need to seek an explanation from Your GC-ROC and Greece for messing things up on 15th July 1974 with the start of the Coup. You can receive Compensation for it ONLY, you can visit and observe it from a distance, but can not buy it back after receiving compensation from the Commission in the North unless you become a TRNC citizen, do the Army and pass its Constitutional test - of course, after Recognising it.
Blame your people, GC I believe, and not the ones whom are living in isolation. I received my compensation from my killed property in the South so stop bitching and start applying. There are Two States, Two administrations and the rest is a Bloody case of Bad mistakes and history. Every Country has gone through something like this - Live with it.
Opps, Sorry Bill, if You are British like me born and raised in the UK, then you will know all about this then you will not need any explaining! Or is your real name Bilos Gorbiastosmou?
Erm ..... at this late hour, all that can be said briefly is that you are very confused MrH.
