According to reports, a pressure group known as the European Property Association of North Cyprus (EUPRO), has been established to assist foreigners who have purchased property in the North to fight the claims of Greek Cypriots who may return to reclaim their former homes lost as a result of the 1974 Turkish invasion.
“We are building a war chest, and we shall use that to good effect,” a spokesperson was quoted as remarking by Northern-based publication, Cyprus Today.
“The long silence is over, and from now on Greek Cypriot claims will not pass by default. Their propaganda machine has been successful in alarming owners and potential buyers in the north, but those days are over,” the spokesperson added.
The group’s treasurer Ian Betts, elaborated in a Cyprus Mail report that EUPRO would provide a “focal point” for anybody with property issues in the North.
Mr Betts added that the group has already signed up around 200 members of various nationalities including Britons, Americans and Germans. Turkish Cypriots living overseas are also thought to be among the group’s membership.
