announced Government declaration [01] Measures to prevent sales of properties in occupied areas to be announcedInterior Minister Socrates Hasikos has said that the Government will soon announce a series of measures and actions in order to prevent the selling of Greek Cypriot owned properties in the Turkish-occupied areas of Cyprus.Speaking at a memorial event organised by the occupied town of Trachonas, the Minister called on all refugees not to sell their properties in the occupied areas via the "Immovable Property Commission" (IPC) set up in the occupied Cyprus.
