ECHR - TURKEY - DECISION

The European Court of Human Rights has asked Turkey to pay a total of
EUR 15,001,498 in respect of pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage and a
total of EUR 160,375 for costs and expenses with regard to 19 cases
submitted by Greek Cypriot applicants against Turkey.

Turkey has been found guilty of violating the protection of property in
all 19 cases and the right to respect private and family life in 11 of
them.

These cases concern the applicants complaints that the Turkish
occupation of the northern part of Cyprus following the 1974 Turkish
invasion deprived them of their home and properties.

In judgments of 22 September 2009 and one of 27 October 2009 the Court held in particular that there had been a continuing violation of
Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (protection of property) in all 19 cases
and of Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) in 11
of them. The question of the application of Article 41 (just
satisfaction) was reserved for a later date.

In its judgments today, the Court held that Turkey was to pay a total
of EUR 15,001,498 in respect of pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage
(sums ranging per case - from EUR 30,000 to EUR 5,125,629) and a total
of EUR 160,375 for costs and expenses (sums ranging per case from EUR
2,000 to EUR 15,000).

Question: If Turkey pays, does it also mean that they actually BOUGHT what was paid for?

[humanist]

Turkey has been ordered to pay before. She hasn't done it and will not do it, until the international community stand by their UN support and enforce Turkey to do it, through implementation of economic embargoes being implemented by the rest of the UN.

NO it don't mean that .... it means that someone out there saw that the invasion of Cyprus in 1974 is illegal and in violation of human rights. It has been recognised that these people whose fundamental rights were violated in 1974 and since then, have been wrongly done and the guilty party, in this case Turkey has to pay them.

And then Erdogan wonders why he’s not taken seriously by the EU! When you are unreceptive of your responsibilities nobody will trust you.

The question was if Turkey, or whoever, pays, does he finally get to KEEP the properties compensated for.....

I don't see Turkey owning any of these properties here before or after paying...

[boomerang]

it's gonna cost turkey a lot more and they have nothing to show for...the same as sinking money in the occupied, they have nothing to show off apart from asses sticking up in the air getting an expective tonsillitis examination from the back and upwards...and this the only free medical care the tcs recieve from their liberators...

one has to ask...is it painless this way?...

[PENPOINT]

why pay if they keep the property anyway......
