Independent In-depth Paragraph by Paragraph Analysis of the Implications of the Annan Plan

Foundation Agreement

Article 10 Property

2. In areas subject to territorial adjustment, properties shall be reinstated to dispossessed owners.

Comments

By the route of omission this ideology of this paragraph is that in areas not subject to territorial adjustment dispossessed owners will continue to remain dispossessed contrary to human rights norms, and in direct violation of the judgements of the European Court of Human Rights and UN resolutions. In simple words Kofi Anann has no intention of respecting the rights of property owners.

As stated earlier there is no guarantee that Turkey will withdraw its illegal forces and colonists or return the territory it illegally occupies when this agreement comes into force therefore Turkey must remove its illegal troops and colonists from Cyprus soil prior to the enactment of this Agreement.

Paragraph 2 to must be amended as follows.

Amendment Required

“2. All occupied areas will be subject to return to the Republic of Cyprus to its full satisfaction before the constitutional, governmental and institutional changes foreseen by agreement can take effect. Properties shall immediately be reinstated to all dispossessed owners on the basis of ownership in accordance with the law and the register of properties without delay or deliberation”
