Turks told to pay

BRUSSELS - 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).
