KKTC Reparation Demand Angers Greek Cypriots

An article on the demand in Haravgi newspaper, headlined ‘Immoral Demand’, included claims by local administrators in Larnaka that Bekirpasa’s water had not been used since the time of the British protectorate. Haravgi described as ‘nonsense’ the KKTC’s demand for restitution of 500 billion dollars.

Larnaka Water Institute Director Qaimmagam Kipros Mattheu stated that the Institute has begun investigating the KKTC claim and will issue an official statement only when the investigation is finished.
