probably need a lawyer on this one.

shahmaran has stated in one of their posts that Greek Speaking Cypriots have the right to return to the trnc and claim their properties. Is that a fact or a false statement.

can greek speaking cypriot come to the trnc and purchase land? turkish spaking cypriot land, with proper deeds and not land that was confiscated after 1974 from greek speaking refugee?

an informed response to my question will be appreciated.

Andrea, I believe that you cannot purchase land in the north if you are GC. I also believe that you can go claim your property, not sure if you will get anywhere. I guess I am not very informed on that am I now?

[humanist]

I am of the same opinion, though shahmaran made the sugestion in one ofm his posts that Greek Speaking Cypriots can go and live in the north and claim their property, I do believe she/he is misinformed but I wanted to double check.

thank you anyways.

turkish spaking cypriot land,

sounds like the land can speak turkish

gcs can go and live in the north, is empty words. there are a couple of examples, and they could at some point become 10 or 100. tcs wont allow that to happen. why the hell do they ask for bizonality ?

claim old property ? it is absolutely not clear yet. there were a couple of decisions taken by the famous "committee" - and since then and despite the claims that 10ths of gcs applied i didnt notice any new cases being solved. the first cases were simply made for the press and for tactical political reasons.

in any case, thats for both of us to listen : the land question cannot be solved in courts!

Humanist, first of all there is no such thing as "trnc". The question is: Do you want to be a refugee OR live under occupation and be treated badly and humiliated by those that illegally occupy our country?

After the invasion a few 1000s of GCs remained in the occupied areas. However the occupation regime forced most of them to leave by treating them in the worst possible way.

Only people that support the Turkish crimes and recognize their pseudo state are allowed to return to their homes, if the occupation regime feels like allowing this for a few people for their own propaganda reasons. Therefore no decent Greek Cypriot would ever do that.

We will return to our homes when the illegal occupation of our country ends.

Humanist,

up until recently not even the children of enclaved persons (14,000 initially 200-400 now) could not return.
Even the Maronites were faced with restrictions e.g they were not allowed to even cultivate their fields.

Entering the occupied they ISSUE YOU A VISA. It writes on it INVITATION TO VISIT FOR 3 MONTHS. HOLDER NOT ALLOWED TO WORK ANYWHERE.

So it seems you can only stay as a TOURIST.

Perhaps this GC guy who works for Bayrak (forgot his name) may give you how some very few exceptions, but they are just that, insignifigant exceptions...

vips, why only respond to sotos post.

why not show some of this unity you are talking about and respond to humanist post instead?

or is it a case where unity is only a one way stream?

Pits I was not responding for the sake of not giving incorrect infomation but as you asked so nicely I will tell him what I know. He will not have any problems residing here as there GCs who already do. As long as he finds an employer willing to employ him he can gain employment. He can also apply to the property commission for return or compensation. Buying land he will have to go through the normal procedure for all foreigners and that is getting government approval and this cannot be more than 1 donum.

If he wants us to clarify anything further then we can ask the relevent authorities on Monday but Im sure there are TCs more informed than me on these matters on the forum.
