Turkey fails to execute ECHR ruling over Loizidou
Nicosia, Oct 7 (CNA) Turkey has set a number of conditions in order to
implement the decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to
pay damages worth nearly one million dollars to Greek Cypriot Titina
Loizidou for human rights violations in Cyprus with regard to property
rights, during a marathon session on Tuesday at the Council of Europe.
As a result, European Union member states intervened and postponed the
session for next Wednesday, demanding that a warning be sent to Turkey
to comply with the ECHR decision, while the government of Cyprus,
together with Greece, submitted a resolution condemning Turkeys
behaviour, Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides told CNA.
Reports said that during the Committee of Ministers' meeting, Turkey
appeared ready to pay the damages, demanding however that the committee
should not re-examine the implementation of the decision concerning the
unimpeded access and peaceful enjoyment of Loizidous property until
after 2005.
