Hi everyone, Im new to this and dont understand the word "carpetbaggers" that was referred to the cyprus44 site. Can anyone explain. My husband and I were thinking of coming out to live in Cyprus but after reading articles posted on cyprus44 and in particular an article entitled " should I or shouldnt I" which was also posted on other sites, has got us confused about the housing situation regarding getting deeds. Is this statement true or is it inflated

I think the members of CF should make donations to get C44 up and running again.

I already miss my morning fix of laughing at the petty squabbles and outright ignorance of the Carpetbuggerers©.

In United States history, carpetbagger was a pejorative term Southerners gave to Northerners (also referred to as Yankees) who moved to the South during the Reconstruction era, between 1865 and 1877.
The term referred to the observation that these newcomers tended to carry "carpet bags," a common form of luggage at the time (sturdy and made from used carpet). It was used as a derogatory term, suggesting opportunism and exploitation by the outsiders.

This word is used for the foreigners that buy property in occupied Cyprus because they buy properties which were stolen from Greek Cypriot refugees. The real deeds in occupied Cyprus are owned by the Greek Cypriot refugees and even if you are given a "deed" for property in occupied Cyprus it would be worthless as the pseudo-government in the north is not recognized. Only the Land Registry in the free part of Cyprus can issue to you a real deed for any part of Cyprus.
