On July 1st, the Court of Appeal of Aix-en-Provence made the decision to accept the extradition request that was submitted within the framework of the European Arrest Warrant by the Republic of Cyprus. The case’s development has caused reactions in the occupied territories, from both the so-called progressive wing and those who act as Ankara’s second voice in the occupied territories. Tufan Erhürman, Ankara’s incumbent, and the President of the Republican Turkish Party, Sıla Usar Incırlı, were also outraged at the arrest. What was it they concluded about the occupied territories? That the occupiers would be able to exploit Greek Cypriot properties, sell them and make a profit. As if the land belonged to them. They consult the so-called Property Committee and the “comprehensive solution”. There is no individual right, they say. Why? Because their logic walks in like with the position that has bee promoted by the Turkish side for a long time: the Turkification of Greek Cypriot properties. The president of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP), has claimed that “the insistence of the Greek Cypriot leadership to abuse the European Arrest Warrant and take the Property Case to criminal courts does not aim at delivering justice, but turns the law into a weapon and tool for achieving political goals”. How is this any different than what the so-called Prime Minister of the separatist entity Unal Ustel said? Ustel stated that this development “politicises European Union law and international judicial cooperation mechanisms,” warning of a reaction. He stated that it constitutes an attempt by the Greek Cypriot side to “to intervene in the sovereignty, legal order and economic life of the ‘’TRNC’”! Erhürman also noted, in a written statement, that ‘Cypriot administration’ continues its efforts to “turn the law into a policy tool in matters concerning property.” He ruled that the law should not be “turned into a policy tool,” or in other words, have anything to do with the law? Can politics work against the law? Only in occupation regimes. Fighting against usurpation is seen as an abuse of national law in the Turkish side. It seems to be the new view of International Law that only the Turks have ever heard of. We cannot be indifferent to looting, ransacking, buying, and selling of the spoils. The occupiers, by wasting time, slowing down efforts to solve The Cyprus Problem, just consolidates occupational fact. The usurpation of Greek Cypriot properties just creates a false ‘reality’ that begs to be ‘taken into account’ in a negotiation. And potential mediators and facilitators repeat it too, they cannot ‘ignore the building development’ in the occupied area. And what about the illegality? The human rights? Prosecuting usurpers will continue as long as illegality continues. It constitutes pressure to the occupiers. This policy should have been adopted in the 70s. It was initiated by the current government. If it was implemented from the beginning, the situation today would be unrecognisable in regards to the exploitation of properties. The separatist entity is a pirate ‘state’. That is how it works. That is how its administrators behave. The entire system is served by the usurpation of Greek Cypriot property. And they get rich with the loot. Since so much is heard in free areas about the persecution of usurpers, by those who believe that the occupying power should not be… disturbed, we must point out the obvious: Any property agreement respects this basic human right and not the legalisation of illegality, of usurpation. In cases like this, the rights of the owner are not equal to the ‘rights’ of the illegal user.
