Giving Turkey a dose of its own medicine?
An Israeli NGO has assisted Cypriots in filing a war crimes complaint with the International Criminal Court prosecutor against Turkey over its occupation of Northern Cyprus. The complaint, filed on Tuesday and referred to as a communication, was made on the 40th anniversary of Turkey’s occupation of the northern part of Cyprus.
The NGO, Shurat HaDin-Israel Law Center, has been involved in a wide range of human-rights cases and substantially assisted in researching and drafting the complaint on behalf of Greek Cypriot groups, including Cypriots Against Turkish War Crimes (CATWR) and MEP Costas Mavrides.
CATWR is an association comprised mainly of Cypriots and refugees from the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.
The petitioners call on the ICC prosecutor to open an investigation into ongoing alleged Turkish crimes against Cyprus, in particular the continued maintenance and establishment of Turkish settlements in the occupied territory.
The complaint alleges that “the Turkish occupation is one of the most brazen settlement enterprises in modern times.”
Around 50,000 Turkish citizens lived in the now Turkish part of Cyprus in 1996. Since then, as a result of Turkey’s aggressive policies – including alleged forced “displacement” of Cypriots from their homes and the alleged “murder or disappearances of thousands of Greek Cypriots” – have increased the number of Turkish settlers to 100,000, who now constitute around half of the population in the self-proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
