CNA/NMA/ECA/MA/2001 ENDS, CYPRUS NEWS AGENCY1850:CYPPRESS:04[04] Cyprus - Attorney General - Turkey - European CourtNicosia, May 10 (CNA) -- Attorney General Alecos Markides has described today's European Court of Human Rights decision finding Turkey guilty of violations of human rights in Cyprus as a "triumph" and said "it constitutes Cyprus' biggest legal battle against Turkey since 1974", when Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37 percent of the island's territory.Speaking to CNA from Strasbourg, where he went for the public hearing of the decision, Markides said "it is binding for all Council of Europe member states and is the biggest and most serious case ever to have been tried by a European court, since the establishment of the Council of Europe (CoE) in 1950". The case against Turkey was brought by the Cyprus government, which argued that the 27-year-old Turkish occupation of Cyprus' northern third violated almost every article in the European Human Rights Convention. Referring to the Court's decision, Markides said Turkey was found guilty, among other charges, for violation of the rights of Greek Cypriot refugees to their property and the right to return to their homes in the occupied north. He said the Court also ruled that Turkey has violated the right to life and the right for personal freedom of the persons missing since the Turkish invasion and for persistently denying an adequate investigation into their fate. The Attorney General said Ankara was found guilty of violating the rights of the relatives of missing persons because its refusal to inform them of their fate violates article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights. He added that Turkey was also found guilty of violating the rights of some 500 Greek Cypriots enclaved in the Turkish occupied north. Regarding the Turkish Cypriots living in the occupied north, Markides said the Court ruled that they have the possibility to seek remedies through the illegal "courts" as they are considered as remedies set up by Turkey.
