French Ambassador to Cyprus, Salina Grenet-Catalano, has stressed that a fair and lawful settlement of property issues in Cyprus, respecting the property rights of all Cypriots is key to resolve the Cyprus problem.
The Ambassador, who met on Thursday with Titina Loizidou, a Greek Cypriot refugee who won a case against Turkey in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) regarding her property in the Turkish occupied areas of Cyprus, wrote on her twitter account “I met today Titina #Loizidou to exchange on the current status of her case before the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe”.
“A fair & lawful settlement of property issues in #Cyprus, respecting the property rights of all Cypriots is key to resolve the #Cyprob.” the Ambassador concluded.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkish troops invaded and occupied its northern third. Turkey has ignored numerous UN resolutions calling for the withdrawal of the Turkish troops and respect of the integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus.
