Woman who sued Turkey burgled
Woman who sued Turkey burgled
A WOMAN who successfully sued the Turkish government for over έ1m has had her house burgled.
Titina Loizidou and her husband had gone on holiday on August 13 to discover on their return on Sunday that their house had been broken into.
The burglars had managed to enter the couple’s home in Nicosia by breaking the lock of one of the side doors.
After turning their home inside out, they managed to find the key, which opened the safe in the bedroom.
Inside the safe, the culprits discovered bracelets, earrings, rings, watches and a gold pen.
The cost of stolen items, according to Loizidou, amounts to around έ40,000.
The Loizidou v Turkey case was a landmark legal battle, dating back to 1989, regarding the rights of refugees wishing to return to their former homes and properties.
In 1996, The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Loizidou, and consequently all other refugees, have the right to return to their former properties. The ECHR ruled that Turkey had violated Loizidou's human rights, that she should be allowed to return to her home and that Turkey should pay damages to her. Turkey initially ignored this ruling but then paid Loizidou the sum of EUR1.2m.
A nearby neighbour also had his house burgled during the August holidays with the burglars making off with around έ20,000 worth of his property.
A warehouse nearby was also broken into and around έ18,000 worth of copper cables were stolen. |
