UBP Secretary General Hasipoğlu: “GCA owes an apology and compensation for the delay of the opening of Maraş”


 

The Secretary General of the National Unity Party (UBP) Oğuzhan Hasipoğlu, said: “The Greek Cypriot Administration (GCA) owes an apology and compensation to all Greek and Turkish Cypriots for causing the delay in the opening of the fenced-off city of Maraş (Varosha).”

In a written statement, Hasipoğlu pointed to the news that has been going on for a couple of days in the media of South Cyprus on the sale of three hotels in Maraş and the panic that it has caused. Referring to the property sale in the closed city of Maraş or the fact that the property was sold to Turkish Cypriots, Hasipoğlu said that the Greek Cypriot Administration should be concerned not the vendors.

Oğuzhan Hasipoğlu said that the Greek Cypriot Administration, which pretended to want a solution, but refused all solution plans for 40 years, was also the reason the fenced-off city of Maraş, which is the most significant tourism region of the Middle East remained closed.

Hasipoğlu continued as follows:

“They have chosen imaginary mayors for this region, and have given hope to their citizens. The fenced-off city of Maraş has become a symbol of inconclusive negotiations. How can they prevent their citizens from living under our administration or disposing their properties as they wish? Have Turkish and Greek Cypriots not waited long enough for Maraş? If the negotiations for a federal solution continued today, it would not have been possible to open the city and the judicial effectiveness of the Immovable Property Commission (IPC) would have not been possible as Maraş was an important element of the territorial chapter of the negotiations.

Therefore, the Greek Cypriot administration in South Cyprus owes an apology and is accountable to compensate all Greek and Turkish Cypriots for causing the delay in the opening of the fenced-off city of Maraş.
Once the improvements and investments are carried out and a desired level is reached and the region has become livable, in terms of infrastructure, and security is attained in public areas, with the support of our motherland, decisions regarding private properties will be finalized and commercial and social life will begin.

In conclusion, while we offer remedies to Greek Cypriots for the properties they left in the North, through the Immovable Property Commission (IPC), accepted as an effective domestic remedy of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), what remedies has the administration in South Cyprus yielded for the properties of the Turkish Cypriots in the south? They have deprived you of even the possibility of disposing let alone acquiring the title deeds. Their ‘guardianship law’, invented domestically and which is not found anywhere else in the world, has virtually frozen any transactions related to properties. Just as in the past, the administration in the South fails to be sincere at any negotiation process and continues to do its best to make life difficult.”
