This Luxury home in "occupied" northern Cyprus, pictured above, looks real nice doesn't it? The house is owned by a British couple. Just one major problem. No, make that several major problems.

In the first place, the property on which the home was built, legally belongs to a citizen of Cyprus, Meletis Apostolides, who was forced to flee his property during the Turkish invasion and occupation of northern Cyprus in 1974.

In 1974, the military junta of Greece staged a coup to overthrow the government of Cyprus. Turkey used this as a pretext for invasion and occupation. In the wake of the onslaught over one hundred thousand Cypriots were forcibly expelled from their homes and land in northern Cyprus.

The Turkish military remains in northern Cyprus to back up their puppet Islamist government there. 

When a "Right of Return" is legitimate: 

"The invasion and occupation has had disastrous consequences. About 142,000 Greek Cypriots living in the north – nearly one quarter of the population of Cyprus – were forcibly expelled from the occupied northern part of the island where they constituted 80% of the population. "

"These people are still deprived of the right to return to their homes and properties. A further 20,000 Greek Cypriots enslaved in the occupied area were gradually forced through intimidation and denial of their basic human rights to abandon their homes. Today there are fewer than 600 enslaved persons (Greek Cypriots and Maronites)."

[ Don't hear much from the Islamists or their Dhimmi allies demanding this "right of return".]

It's an ill wind that blows no one good. The moslem tyranny on Cyprus was one of the major obstacles to Turkey's gaining EU membership and opening the floodgates of islamic filth to over run the continent.

I love the outdoor shower in the pic...but I don’t think I could live with THAT much blue and beautiful all the time.

POI...this does not appear to be one private home. I think what is being shown is a private community pool area. I see what looks to be at least 3 separate residences sharing a common pool area.

Doesn't really detract from the essence of the article...just illustrates a bit of "stretching to make a point" by the author/editor.

I NEVER said anything in my post about this being ONE residence and of course I have NEVER traveled to Turkey or Greece and surrounding areas.

I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't too clear in my comment. It was not really directed at you...So I apologize for any confusion. I just happened to click to post and it went to you.
As I stated, my comment was just a general 'point of information' type comment. It was not meant to distract from the main gist of the article.

By the way, Cypress is a very nice place to visit. As is Greece and most parts of Turkey. And parts of them all look just like that blue sky/blue sea vista shown in the picture.
