Sale of Greek Cypriot Land by Senar Elcil
August 3, 2025
Senar Elcil, the former head of the Turkish Cypriot teachers' union, sold Greek Cypriot land to businessman Simon Aykut, who is currently under trial. This sale has sparked significant discussions in the occupied areas because Aykut is facing charges of usurpation. Elcil, known for advocating for peace processes, has expressed readiness to guarantee for detained Greek Cypriots. The situation is further complicated by Aykut’s past and the recent sales of Greek Cypriot land.
