There is a statement made in Sydney and attributed to Pres X that the Republic will be taking court actions against the Illegal Settlers (and presumably the Carpetbaggers).

Only seen it reported once here...

http://www.sofiaecho.com/2011/05/31/109 ... -president

This is what Pres X is reported as having said...

"There is an expectation on the part of both the Greek and Turkish Cypriots that there would be a swift resolution to the problem, but the continuous flow of Turkish migrants to the north part of the island, which is under Turkish control, is destabilising the island's demographics and causing "catastrophic" problems for the future, and for the Turkish community in particular, Christofias said.

"The demographic situation of the Turkish Cypriots has changed dramatically and this is a military crime," he said.

"We must launch court proceedings against tens of thousands of Turks who have forcibly taken the property of Greeks and expelled from their homes in the north part of the island. This is a crime," Christofias said.

Yes, but the statement is so out of step with what's been said and done in the past by CY leaders, who time and time again have said these things will be settled at the talks.

Dunno what to make of it really, would be nice if it were confirmed from other sources, and if it were followed through.

Don't tell me they let Pres. X make a speech in English again?

He could have meant anything!

[Viewpoint]

Thats so funny.

The crime was and still is committed by Turkey. It is Turkey that should be taken to whatever court you want. These people are just dumped there.iMO.

Yes, regretfully the Republic has already taken Turkey before the ECHR and despite a winning judgment in its favour, has really not got anything of real substance from it.

Also regretfully The International Court of Justice (?), which is really where some aspects of the matter should be decided isn't open to the Republic cos (as all will know and for obvious reasons) Turkey isn't obliged give a defence or to stand by any rulings from this Court.

So that would seem to leave actions on two levels against individuals.

One level might be against past and present members of the Regime and Turkish leaders for their role in a war crime; and on another level, against individual settlers and carpetbaggers for violation of the Republic's Criminal Code (as opposed to civil actions for trespass) for their part in criminal transactions involving property.

As to whether to have sympathy for any such individuals... not in the least, these are profiteers from the misery of others. Some will be members of the TA who have been rewarded for past services, the CarpetSwaggers who have bought off the back of a lorry, members of the Regime awarding themselves the choicer swag etc.

Just hate wasted money and time which is I'll afforded.

As to sympathy
Most may have been ethnically cleansed from the eastern provinces.

They will do as they are told or else......
