1 Memorandum Ownership Status of Hotels and Other
MEMORANDUM OWNERSHIP STATUS OF HOTELS AND OTHER ACCOMODATION FACILITIES IN THE OCCUPIED PART OF THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus hereby publishes a list1 of hotels situated in the Turkish occupied part of Cyprus. The majority of these hotels belong to Greek Cypriot displaced persons who were forced to leave their properties following the Turkish invasion of 1974 or have been built illegally on properties belonging to displaced Greek Cypriots, in violation of the latter’s property rights and without their consent. A number of hotels belong to Turkish Cypriots or have been built on land belonging to Turkish Cypriots. The European Court of Human Rights, in its Judgment of 18 December 1996, on the individual application of the Greek Cypriot displaced owner from Kyrenia, Mrs. Titina Loizidou, against Turkey, and in the Fourth Interstate Application of Cyprus against Turkey of 10 May 2001, upheld the rights of the refugees to their properties. In the Loizidou case, the Court ordered the Government of Turkey to compensate the applicant for the time period of deprivation of use of her property and to provide full access and allow peaceful enjoyment of her property in Kyrenia. The right of the displaced owners to their properties was reconfirmed in the decision of the European Court of Human Rights (Dec. 2005) regarding the application of Myra Xenides- Arestis v. Turkey, and has since been repeatedly reconfirmed in a multitude of cases brought by Greek Cypriot owners of property in the occupied part of Cyprus against Turkey]. It should also be reminded that, according to the United Nations Principles on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons (the Pinheiro principles) “all refugees and displaced persons have the right to have restored to them any housing, land or property of which they were arbitrarily or unlawfully deprived..”. -

Cypriot Greek As a Heritage and Community Language in London: (Socio)Linguistic Aspects of a Non-Standard Variety in a Diasporic Context1
CYPRIOT GREEK AS A HERITAGE AND COMMUNITY LANGUAGE IN LONDON: (SOCIO)LINGUISTIC ASPECTS OF A NON-STANDARD VARIETY IN A DIASPORIC CONTEXT1 Petros Karatsareas University of Westminster Abstract Cypriot Greek has been spoken in the United Kingdom as a heritage and community language for over a century by a sizeable Greek Cypriot diaspora. In this chapter, I describe Cypriot Greek as it is spoken in London, presenting some of its key linguistic characteristics and discussing aspects of its sociolinguistic status in the wider UK context. In terms of linguistic characteristics, I present older, regional features that are currently being levelled in Cyprus but which survive in London’s Cypriot Greek; Standard Modern Greek features that are increasingly used in London even in informal instances of communication; and, phenomena that are attributed to language contact with English. In terms of sociolinguistic status, I focus on the intergenerational transmission of Cypriot Greek in London and identify three key factors that threaten its maintenance in the diaspora: its minority status with respect to English, its non- prestigious status with respect to Standard Modern Greek, and also its non-prestigious status with respect to Cypriot Greek as it is currently spoken in Cyprus. 1. London’s Greek Cypriot diaspora: a tile in the city’s multicultural and multilingual mosaic The United Kingdom has historically been the principal destination of Cypriot emigrants (Constantinou, 1990). Christodoulou places the onset of migration from Cyprus to the UK in 1902 (1959; cited in Constantinou, 1990: 151– 152). Migration remained low until the mid-1950s and only began to increase in 1955–1959, when violence on the island intensified during the anti-colonial struggles. -

During the three trips conducted to Northern Cyprus in 2007, we found that three frog and toad species (Anura), 11 lizards (Lacertilia), 3 turtles (Testudinata) and 9 snakes (Ophidia) inhabit the northern part of the Cyprus Island. The distributions of a total of 26 reptile and amphibian species were observed and some ecological information on their biotopes was summarized, and the taxonomic states of some of the species determined discussed. Key Words: Northern Cyprus, herpetofauna, snakes, lizards Cyprus, with 9251 km2 area, is the part of the island has a mountain chain third largest island after Sicily and which is called Pentadactylos, made of Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea. It is mesozoic calcareous rocks, runs in east- located in 34o33’-35o42’ northern latitudes west direction and has the highest point and 32o16’-34o36’ eastern longitudes. -

N Cyprus There Are Few If Any Private Gardens That Are Open to the Public, but Most Major Towns Have Municipal Gardens, Which Vary Greatly from Place I to Place
n Cyprus there are few if any private gardens that are open to the public, but most major towns have municipal gardens, which vary greatly from place I to place. Until very recently Cypriot gardens were mainly courtyards with a few herbs in pots and perhaps a grapevine or fig tree for shade during the long hot summer months. Latterly, with more and more Cypriots returning to their homeland from years spent in other countries where gardening is part of the culture, more adventurous plantings have been taking place and landscape gardeners are coming into their own, as people realise how therapeutic a garden can be after the rigours of work. In the valley where I live, amongst the courtyards and tiny planted strips around the houses, there are several gardens of note. In the village of Agia Anna in Larnaca District, there is a wonderful Cacti and Succulent Garden planted out on a rocky hillside. In the next village Psevdas, a garden lover has pruned the trees in his front garden into the most interesting shapes. In the same village two gardens on the main street have been landscaped in a modern style containing very old olive trees, which are such a part of the Cypriot landscape. My own garden in Mosfiloti has a lavender par terre, which has matured over the years. It no longer needs watering other than the rain which falls during the winter months, as the grey leaves protect the plants from the fierce-some sun. Many gardens are hidden away behind courtyard doors. If you are able to peek behind them, you will find some real jewels. -
Security Council Distr.: General 4 June 2007
United Nations S/2007/328 Security Council Distr.: General 4 June 2007 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Operation in Cyprus I. Introduction 1. The present report on the United Nations operation in Cyprus covers developments from 25 November 2006 to 25 May 2007, and brings up to date the record of activities carried out by the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) pursuant to Security Council resolution 186 (1964) and subsequent Council resolutions, the most recent being resolution 1728 (2006). 2. As at 30 April 2007, the strength of the military component stood at 856 all ranks and the strength of the police component stood at 64 (see annex). II. Mission of good offices and other developments 3. On 15 December, the Security Council adopted resolution 1728 (2006), by which, inter alia, it expressed full support for the process agreed upon by the Greek Cypriot leader, Tassos Papadopoulos, and the Turkish Cypriot leader, Mehmet Ali Talat, on 8 July 2006, and encouraged active participation in bicommunal discussions as described in the letter dated 15 November 2006 from the then Under-Secretary-General Ibrahim Gambari, to which both leaders had responded positively, under the auspices of my Special Representative. The Security Council called for the early completion of the preparatory phase so that a fully fledged good offices process might resume as soon as possible. At the same time, the Council regretted the continued lack of trust between the parties, which had prevented the implementation of the 8 July agreement. 4. Over the past six months, my Special Representative has continued efforts aimed at facilitating the implementation of the 8 July agreement (see S/2006/572) through intensive discussions with the two leaders and their representatives. -
