Turkey's Housing Project in Occupied Areas: Strategic Implications
August 17, 2025
Turkey is attempting to solidify its control in Cyprus through a social policy program aimed at building 6,500 homes. This plan directly affects property rights and land issue, which aims to enhance settlement in the occupied areas. While it is presented as a solution to housing problems, it has strategic goals that undermine prospects for resolving the Cyprus issue. The areas targeted for this investment include well-known occupied villages. Such actions could impact future negotiations.
