Shameful echo of a forgotten holocaust

Article Abstract:

People of Armenian descent were among those who were harshly treated when Cyprus was invaded by Turkey in 1974. Gaspar and Astrid Aghajanian, for example, who now live in the UK, were forced to leave their home in Cyprus, and received no compensation for the loss of their possessions. They were full British citizens, but the UK government has not been willing to raise their case with the Turkish authorities. They are still campaigning for compensation, but the UK government has stated that their claim will not be met until there is a political settlement on Cyprus.

Turks refuse to pay for lost lands of Greek Cypriots

Article Abstract:

Turkey has ignored a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that it must pay compensation to Titina Loizidou, a Greek Cypriot woman, for land and property that belongs to her but is located in what is now Turkish-controlled northern Cyprus. Her case could spark off many further claims from dispossessed Greek Cypriots. The Turkish Embassy in London, England, claims that Turkey has no jurisdiction on Cyprus, but this does not explain why northern Cyprus now contains many Turkish troops and settlers.

Shameful end of Serb dream

Article Abstract:

Serb soldiers are withdrawing from Kosovo, Yugoslavia, defiantly, indicating to the province's ethnic Albanians that they will return. It appears that Nato bombing has done little to damage the power of the Yugoslav army, with none of the T-72 tanks now leaving Kosovo bearing any signs of shrapnel damage. Serb civilians are also leaving Kosovo as Nato advances. It is believed that around 20,000 have already left, and it is expected that more will follow.
