British Couple Must Demolish Cyprus Home, EU Top Court Says

[Onur]

Onur, Dora Boykoyanis is saying that Greece is a good friend of Turkey and that they will give the green light for EU entry once the issue with Cyprus is solved. She also says that Greece is the most honest friend of Turkey and that Greece is not a threat in anyway

Prolet, we all know that the only solution for them is complete Hellenization of Cyprus and "preferably", a Cyprus without even a single Turk in it. This is just like Macedonia`s name issue. Only solution for them is complete elimination of the name Macedonia in ROM and "preferably" complete destruction of ROM itself.

Also, Turkey will never be a member of EU. We all know that too.

So, Dora`s words means nothing. Also Greece was never a good friend of Turkey and never will be `till they set themselves free from the grasp of EU`s big guns and their puppet politicians in Greece. I didn't even understand what she meant by saying "Greece is not a threat"??!! Who said Greece was/is a threat to Turkey? Greece was never a threat to Turkey and never will be one in foreseeable future. No one in Turkey sees Greece as a threat to us since WW-2 days. They weren't a threat to us in 1974 Cyprus conflict either, since they couldn't even dare to shot single bullet to us.

Makedonche, All the Cyprus property cases in EU court of human rights has been set up and leaded by Greece and Greek Cyprus governments. These are not simple cases of ordinary Greek Cypriot landowners. Their aim was preventing British or Turkish people to do any change to the previously Greek Cypriot owned homes, fields etc. So, they don't care much about getting rent fee or something. They don't even care about getting their lands back at all cuz in 2004 UN peace plan, Turkey accepted to give them money or give their lands back to them but they refused it. This is partly because Turkish Cypriots was living in southern side of the island too and Turkey demanded from Greeks to pay compensation for these previously Turkish Cypriot owned properties. It`s easy for us to give back their property to them cuz we protected most of their lands but on the other hand, Greek Cyprus demolished all Turkish Cypriot property in southern side and confiscated all Turkish land registers and then built roads, schools, public buildings on top of all. Now, they just want Greek owned properties back but they are not that fancy paying compensation for the property of 15.000+ Turkish Cypriots who previously lived in south side before 1974.

They are also happy about current situation cuz while Greek Cypriots have a right to apply to the European Court of Justice and ask for money from Turkey but Turkish Cypriots cannot do the same cuz they are not recognized by EU or any other international institution. If there would be an agreement in Cyprus, then Turkish Cypriots would gain same rights to ask compensation from Greek side but this is not something they want. If it`s necessary, Turkey have enough economical power to pay billions of Euros but tiny Greek Cyprus cant pay back the compensation for 15.000+ Turkish Cypriots since they demolished all of them.





It`s the European Court of Justice not the Greek Cypriot court. Turkey doesn't recognize a country called Cyprus and Greek Cyprus government doesn't have any authority at north side but we do recognize the European Court of Justice thanks to the fcking EU membership negotiation process since 1960s.


Btw, in regards to the Macedonian properties in Aegean Macedonia; You would be stupid to not apply for a compensation case to the European Court of Justice if you still have land register information and papers from 1940s. Why you don't sue them in the European Court of Justice if you have a right to do that?

Thanks for the explanation! If I understand correctly the EU court has enforced a Greek Cyprus Court decision over land in Turkish Cyprus - is this correct?

[Soldier of Macedon]

The plan was created by your buddies ( UK and USA ).

Quite an ironic statement. Where would Greece be without its buddies (UK and USA) during WWII and the 'Greek' civil war? You should be more thankful to the English, I have heard many Greeks speak unfavourably about them, but the fact is, they have been involved in your development, sustainment and survival as a state and modern nation from the very beginning. The only thing is that they haven't always supported your expansionist ideas.

makedonche, the way i see it, the EU court case was between the UK courts vs Greek Cypriot Court. No longer was it directly Apostolides v Orams. It was the British decision vs the Greek Cypriots decision. Read below.

The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg today said that a judgment from a judge in the Republic of Cyprus in the south must be recognized

The ruling, which can’t be appealed and has to be followed by the U.K. court

Clearly the EU courts now give the Greek Cypriots jurisdiction over the Turkish part of Cyprus. This issue is bigger than the Apostolides v Orams case, no longer is it a civil matter and the EU had no intention in it to be. It has now to do with international law, which effects the sovereignty of the Turkish Cypriots. This is a major major development.

The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg today said that a judgment from a judge in the Republic of Cyprus in the south must be recognized by EU countries even if it concerns land in the northern part of the island.

The hi-lighted section is clear, Sth Cyprus has power over Nth Cyprus. What is more alarming, does this now open up a can of worms. Can the Republic of Greece courts for an example rule over disputes related in the Republic of Macedonia or the Republic of Turkey? acording to the EU courts (above) EU member rulings must be recognized by EU countries no matter how wrong or right it is, even if a dispute is in a non EU member territory.
