Another attempt by Turkey to close the supervision of a case, concerning the property rights of Titina Loizidou, a Greek Cypriot with property in Turkish-occupied Kyrenia, proved futile on Thursday, as the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe decided to pursue its oversight role. The same body, sitting in Strasbourg on September 14-16, also decided to adopt an interim resolution concerning the damages Turkey has been called by the ECHR to pay to relatives of Greek Cypriot missing persons and to enclaved Greek Cypriots living in the Karpas peninsula, in the northeastern tip of Cyprus.
Diplomatic sources told CNA that member states were not persuaded during the session that Turkey did everything in its power to enforce a 1998 ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for the restitution of the applicant’s rights.
