Now I am being as bad as you lot, don't any of you want peace and tranquility on this island? We have a beautiful island why can't we all live in peace have we learned nothing from wars!
I am sorry, but you do not understand much about the laws of the RoC, which respect property ownership rights of all legitmate owners, including TCs. The area around Limassol, for example, has been heavily developed. Go out to Polemidia, however, and you will see large tracts of undeveloped land still being used for agricultural purposes. The reason? This is Turkish Cypriot owned land. Walk along St Andrews Street in the very heart of old Limassol, and at the junction with Avgoustas Theodoras Street you will see a magnificent old town house that is visibly crumbling away. Yet on all the neighbouring plots shiny new multistorey buildings have been erected. If you ask why this old building has been left to crumble, you will learn that this is a Turkish Cypriot owned house and nobody can touch it. No, the situation here in the south is totally different. There may be some isolated cases where shady developers have sold stolen TC property to unwary buyers. If so - and I have never heard of any such cases - the buyers should have done due diligence and deserve to face the same fate as the Orams.
