pumpernickle, so what you are saying is that it is alright to commit a crime as long as you can get away with it?

Obviously this is the case with the immoral people and this is why so many crimes are committed. Not many would commit a crime if they believed they would be caught and punished.

Therefore those people that "buy" GC property in the occupied areas are immoral criminals. They think they can get away with their crimes against us. We think otherwise, and we will make sure they will be punished for their crimes in one way or another.

I feel dreadful for saying this, but how the hell are you going to get that land back? It aint happening. There isnt the military might or the hardware to kick their sneaky backsides back over to Anatolia.

What options do you have except to eat a lot of very hard cheese?

Whoever is right or wrong the fact is that there is a huge amount of aggression targeted at North Cyprus buyers - you can't even get into South Cyprus if the stamp is in your passport for g..d's sake!

Forgive me but I don't need the hassle.

Wrong, totally wrong. You are free to travel between north and south regardless whose stamp you may have in your passport.

Niki, I know of at least 50 expats that have sold up in the south and moved to the north. The reason I am given in all cases is "the houses are nicer and cheaper, the people are friendlier and the beaches ten times better".

Need I say more?

[Niki]

Maybe you're right!!

Without having experienced the effect the divide creates other than within this forum I couldn't say. The aggression it generates does concern me though.

Niki,

Don't let the aggression on forums give you the wrong impression. In reality there is no problem between the two communities. The tough guys on the forum are only tough with their keyboards. Click on this to see how the other half feel about Cyprus.

Thank you sotos, what we who are against the sale of stolen greek cypriot land & property should do is complain and protest to those greedy british and turkish estate agents who are exploiting greek land.
You can contact these greedy people to tell them what you think. Dont let these maggots get away with it, the more land and property they sell the more hard it will be to reach a settlement.

All the more reason for Mr Papadopulous to start talking to TRNC and stop giving you guys false hope.

As a potential buyer in Cyprus (moving in 2007) I have very quickly come to the decision that even though North Cyprus is a lot cheaper than South Cyprus I would in no way wish to buy a property there because of the history.

It is possible however that North Cyprus buyers do this out of ignorance rather than greed as the property agents are very 'hard sell'.

As far as the buyers are concerned they are getting a fantastic house for less money. Immoral to the poor Cypriots who have been turfed out but understandable - we are all human. It is not about deliberate provokation.

I only know of the problems after extensive research on the web. They wouldn't exactly have big banners saying "evil people buy homes in North Cyprus' at the overseas home exhibitions in the UK or in the property magazines.

there is no ignorance on the matter. it is as simple as that. you buy sth cheap that carries a high risk. the choise is yours, but dont go around complaining bc :

1. the are so many adds in the north that say : "with legal tc titles" - and they are more expensive. so unless someone is stupid, he would understand why a piece of land is cheaper and some other is more expensive, and why such advertisements exist

2. the british embassy in cyprus warns :

Property issues are closely linked to the political situation. There are a number of potential practical, financial and legal implications, particularly for those considering buying property in the north - these relate to the non-recognition of the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus", the possibility of a future political settlement in Cyprus, and claims to ownership from people displaced in 1974. There is also a risk that purchasers would face legal proceedings in the courts of the Republic of Cyprus, as well as attempts to enforce judgments from the courts of the Republic of Cyprus elsewhere in the EU, including the UK.

so , dont give me this ignorance stuff.
its a choise. it could be that in the end these people keep those houses, i cannot say that for sure , but if they loose it , i hope they dont go around saying : "but we didnot know" .
didnt you know ?
why didnt you ask ?

There is nothing to fear. All your investments are legal and secure. Which planet are we living on for heavens sake? Buy your house in the north and live happily ever after, in peace.
