Nobody bought me a house

You can buy one for yourself in Kyreina, they are cheap and legal. Or you may want to put yourself up for adoption, you may well find a GC or TC family to adopt you. Our custom dictates that we provide you with a home, all paid for.

it depends mrfmong.
i ve been in the north, and if seen the adds :wink:

the prices varies, if the house you buy belongs to a tc , or when it belongs to a gc refuggee. :wink:

sometimes the first cost twice as much, bc they carry no risks.

its the invisible hand of the market , that adam spoke about.

Oh and one last thing Cypezokyli, when I said that I do not think all GCs will be able to return to their homes, I was talking about from a practical point of view. In my opinion, it may be physically impossible for some to get the same property back, BUT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LOSING A WAR. Your point was that we had to curb our demands because we lost the war. Therefore, there is a clear distinction from what I was saying and what you was. Certainly no paradox. :roll:

The TC and GC tradition is exactly the same when it comes to marriages.
When two people marry it is the bride's father who provides the dowry.Depending on how wealth or poor they are this dowry could be anything,from a house and car and money to just a chest of sheets and towels etc...In contrast,in Turkey it is the groom's family who pays for the wedding and the dowry.I don't know the custom in Greece...

So the whole Turkish/Greek Cyriot thing is about who pays for their daughter's wedding, right?

No worries there then, just apply for a EU grant.

Thank God for that, I thought there was a major problem here.

Lanaca Airport, yeah I know its your land but the misssus said the daughter wanted a bit of real estate as a bottom drawer gift, its alright mate you can have my dad's land in Lapithos, its on the deeds here, all the land between the 2 lemon trees and the well, to the west of the stream by the house that stands to the east of the stone roadgate.

I'm not mocking, some deeds state this or are similar in terms of reference. How can title to propery be decided on these terms, it sound more difficult than a wedding!

Cypriot property law is very complex. Especially when you have one group of as many as 5 people owning one strip of land and someone else having title to the lemon trees and someone else having title to almond trees on the land and then someone else still having title to the olive trees on the land.

Maybe its easier to be a refugee.

No Agios...it is not easier to become a refugee and an exile...
Try it if you don't believe me.
