A Turkish Cypriot committee has awarded damages of 54 milion Turkish lira (almost 25 million euros), to be paid from Turkey’s budget, to two Greek Cypriots for property they were forced to abandon in northern Cyprus during the 1974 Turkish invasion. According to reports in the Turkish media, the ruling sets a precedent for similar claims by many Greek Cypriots who have in the past viewed the Turkish Cypriot “property committee” with suspicion or who have doubted its legal status.
