Events in Greece have shown precisely how being a member of the EU can get you into serious financial problems! Turkey should think twice about joining. Or at least follow the Swiss example who are not full members, yet somehow manage to get loads more money back than they put in!!!

When are people going to realise that the EU is only interested in the EU! Do really want a bunch of unelected bureaucrats telling you how to run your country? The UK pay the EU millions of pounds each year so that they, the EU can tell the Brits how to run their lives.The EU have still to provide a

Seriously, what is wrong with you? What kind of delusions are you suffering from that you think the EU Court of Justice ruling in favor of the legitimate Greek-Cypriot owner of the land is controversial? What legal precedent can you cite from any court ruling anywhere in the world that has ruled in

In the 21st century there are property rights respected all over the world. In the 14th c century any strong nation moves takes over a weak one and makes it his land ,people, heritage and all its time for therule of law

A lot of rubbish. The Greek Cypriot Judge in Nicosia broke every rule in the book and gave judgement against the Orams without any defence. It is a long story but the fact is that the Court Registry kept the defence waiting for official forums to put in an "Appearence" whilst the judge in the meanti

I also agree WHAT about the Turkish Land Property on the South Side, No mention of that, especially Larnaca Airport which is built on Turkish owned land. No mention of the Genocide against the Turkish population on the South & North side, EU needs to recognise this Genocide (ethnic cleansing), and w

North Cyprus DOES EXCIST; and will not go away like ISREAL WONT LEAVE ISREAL. The Turkish Army did not invade, but in-fact went to save the Turkish Population from being slaughter, GENOCIDE, The Greeks are not different from HITLER, and what did TO THE JEWS. THIS IS A FACT. The Island was owned by t

if eu was to really stick up for human rights ,they should force all the turkey turks off the island and send them back where they belong.

What about turkish land in south cyprus? My parents have land thats built on, they have been in court for over a decade. Larnaca and Paphos airports are built on Turkish owned land. Varosha is built on STOLEN Turkish evkaf land. There is no justice.

I dont Think a lot of people understand the laws in nothern cyprus people bye property and land in good faith ,the orams or any one else who has a home in north cyprus should not loose it ,this ruleing by the ECJ stinks there is land in south cyprus that belongs to the turks Larnica airport bulit on

Why don't the Greek-Cypriots do what the Turkish-Cypriots have been doing? Just take the matter up with the 'Guardian of Turkish Cypriot Properties' in the Republic and get their property back. Oh, its been sold or given to Turkish settlers? That explains why, at the recent 'elections', Turki

How can you even try to put a racial spin on this. Its only called Justice. Oramms deserve to lose everything.
By:Alan on May 15, 2009
To Terry and all, I know history well, that's why I purchased my holiday flat in the south Legally, where lots of Turkish Cypriots live and their property and rights are protected.In the North the 2/3rds majority including 'Eroglu' are illegal settlers from Turkey.

To Hasan and the rest of the Turks using English names. Its not Muslims that are shit,the EU has many good muslim people, eg Hungary, Bulgaria. Its Turks that are the problem. A history of ethnic cleansing and genocide (Armenia). You can lie all you like, but not in a courtroom!! Cyprus is not for

Hi Suzan Nuri. You have turned this issue of 'conspiracy' into a nationalistic issue with bad language from some. You did not include my comments earlier this week, but accepted hasan's. You are bias and pick whatever and from whoever you choose. The problem with the Turks is that they think they be
By:Sol on May 14, 2009
The Orams and many other like them where just profiting from the misfortunes of others and they got caught out!! The judgment of the court is correct, as are the judgments of the court of human rights.

Well, this would stop the Brits from plundering the island.
By:Terry on May 11, 2009
John & Alan obviously knws nothing about the history of Cyprus. Greeks carried out genecide to get where they are today and if it wasnt for Turkey stepping in there would be no Turks left on the island and this would make the Greeks happy. Stole and murdered inocent human beings to get the whole i

The Orams new what they were doing as do all other buyers of stollen properties in North Cyprus. How would they and other illegal occupiers feel if someone forced them out of their UK home at the point of a gun. The ECJ made the correct judgement but it should have been made years ago.
By:Alan on May 8, 2009
It's simple, the north has been profiteering from stolen property. Dealing in stolen property is a criminal offense. Now the noose is tightening around the neck of the illegal occupiers and the criminals who support them.
By:Harry G from Toronto on May 6, 2009
The Orams should not have aquired stollen property. This is why the ECJ voted in the way they did.

YOU HAVE TWISTED THE REAL TRUTH
By:GEO on May 2, 2009
You thought that you could get away with the looting and profiteering of the property of the lawful owners(the Greek Cypriots) because your 'mother land' is powerful or it has powerful friends with complete disregard to the legal system. JUSTICE AT LAST
By:James A on May 2, 2009
Its really very painful that this case will leave a very bad precedent.The ruling of the Oram's case is unreasonable and is bias.This is not Justice.If there is a higher court then the case should be appealed.I dont see any reason why the Orams should loose their home.The court should have atleast e
