The handing over the deeds to the TC authorities is what the "original owner" deal is obviously aimed at. It is a peculiar situation to present an individual on one side obliged to deal with an administration on the other. Anastassiadis is an experienced lawyer, on this at least he formulated the phrasing accurately. Either they deal at the personal individual level or at the administrations level. At that level the situation will get sticky. If the RoC "nationalises" all GC property in the north inorder to deal as a representative of all owners, the acreage will be so much more than what the TCs left behind that any property deal will seem like a joke. At the individual leve we can all fool ourselves that there is some fairness to the process.
So we get back to the fundamental issue which is territory and not properties. For some reason neither side wants to commit to this issue, trying their best to skirt round it, delaying it as much as they can. Typical Cypriot approach.
