Property and Human Rights in Cyprus: The European Court of Human Rights as a Platform of Political Struggle.

The article presents a study which examines the property issue and human rights in Cyprus. Here, researchers involve a detailed examination of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) proceedings on the property-related Greek Cypriot, individual or state, applications against Turkey. The primary objective of the study is to identify the way in which the two sides involved in the proceedings have attempted to advance the critical aspects of their political positions as well as to demonstrate how they have regarded the property issue as a major instrument for promoting their two different national causes.
