Dispute Over Turkish Cypriot Properties in Paphos
May 5, 2026
The case regarding the Turkish Cypriot properties in Paphos is in court, with heirs and the government disagreeing on the property's worth. The land is valued at €58 million, but heirs attempted to sell it for €11.8 million. The Minister of the Interior refused to approve the sale due to the land being used for public projects. The court dismissed the heirs' appeal and referred them to the civil courts. This court process involves properties that belonged to Turkish Cypriots before the Turkish invasion in 1974.
