Unless Cyprus reaches a political settlement soon, we might reach the stage where northern Cyprus will resemble countries like Zimbabwe, South Africa and Australia: i.e. where the majority of land, acquired illegally, will be in the hands of a new-breed of European colonists.
The following was published today in the Cyprus Mail under the Greek Press Review section.
SIMERINI: "They are selling our properties"
The selling of Greek Cypriot properties to foreigners living in the occupied areas is on the rise, according
to the paper. Turkish settlers who took over properties belonging to Greek Cypriots after the invasion are now illegally selling them on to Europeans, mainly Britons and Germans. The paper says the partial easing of restrictions on movement has worried Turks living in such properties, leading them to try and sell them on for immediate financial gain before a settlement is reached.
