[01] Greek Americans - Turkey - Court
Nicosia, Aug 18 (CNA) - Three Greek Americans have filed an application to
the European Court of Human Rights of the Council of Europe against Turkey,
alleging human rights violations.
The applicants, who have exhausted domestic remedies on their claims, base
their case on a similar case, Loizidou v. Turkey, on which the Court ruled
that Ankara is guilty of violating Loizidou's right to enjoy peacefully her
property in Turkish occupied Cyprus and of denying her access to it and
ordered Ankara to pay compensation amounting to 900.000 US dollars.
