Turkey and not Cyprus is responsible for the Turkish citizens.
Cyprus has every right to deport them, like they can do with any other foreigner.
The how the settlers will move out is also Turkey's problem (assuming that the Cyprus Problem is solved peacefully). The same way they will be responsible to move their troops out they will also be responsible to move their settlers. Obviously we will not accept any solution that does not include this.
You obviously fail to understand this part of the ECHR ruling last year.
As you know, and so far the Court has accepted the fact, restitution has only been granted in 2-3% of cases and I'm sure they did not involve evictions.
Even though the international community regarded Turkey as being in illegal occupation of the northern part of Cyprus, this did not mean that, when dealing with individual complaints under the Convention concerning interference with property, its discretion as to the manner in which it executed a judgment should not be respected. In the light of the many changes some 35 years after the properties were left, it would risk being arbitrary and injudicious for the Court to impose an obligation to effect restitution in all cases – which would result in the forcible eviction and rehousing of many men, women and children – even with the aim of vindicating the rights of victims of violations of the Convention. No problem therefore arose as regards the impugned discretionary nature of the restitutionary power under Law 67/2005, which addressed the lack of provision for restitution pointed out in the case of Xenides-Arestis.
