I spent a good many years in Cyprus, during my RAF career and have many Greek Cypriot friends and a strong feeling for the South of the island. However.... people should be aware that the property problems on the island will, in my opinion, affect both sides of the island in terms of property. There were Turkish Cypriots that fled North, and Greek Cypriots that fled South, but all that left their homes will/may have claim on the land in the future. So although people that have bought in the North do so in the knowledge that there may be land issues, those that have bought in the South of the island do not expect any problems. But what will happen to buyers in the South when a Turkish Cypriot comes knocking on the door to say it used to be his land? I just see it as 2 sides to the same coin! I am NOT taking sides at all, and please don't bombard me with replies for voicing an opinion that I feel is valid. The property issue is as likely to affect buyers in the South as much as it may in the North. Personally, I see the island as one, I see it as 'Cyprus' with Cypriots... not Greeks and Turks.
