Many Greek Cypriot realising that the Cyprus problem cannot be solved with Tpap or just plain fed up of waiting has applied to the Turkish Cypriot property commission in the North as the ECHR has suggested as a means for restitution but the Tpap hardliners for their so called "national cause" does not want this to happen hence the threats and looking to create laws to make it illegal.

Quote:

Evroko MP Rikkos Erotocritou said that his party is already drafting a legislative proposal to deprive any Greek Cypriot refugee who applies to the so-called commission from all of his rights as a refugee, including having to return any financial assistance he has received from the state.

And this is what is happening in the north at the property commisiion

Quote:

According to the Turkish Cypriot side, over 180 Greek Cypriots have applied to the Commission, which was set up last year, including one applicant who also has a case at the European Court of Human Rights.

Quote:

So far the property commission says it has successfully resolved 22 out of 182 cases.
In three cases, the commission decided to return property to Greek Cypriot legal owners. Two cases were resolved through property exchange and 17 were being paid compensation totalling $20 million.

But thats not good enough with SIGMA television passing over the names of 20 applicants to the Tpap admin in a bid to scare the people and gain favours or whatever the motivation behind it.
