Solving the Cyprus Property Conundrum

London School of Economics

Monday 15 March, 18.30 start

With the legal floodgates now open following the recent spate of court rulings on the Cyprus property dispute (Orams, Sofi etc), human rights group Embargoed! is hosting a seminar to review this complicated and emotionally charged issue. The event intends to provide a roadmap on how this problem can be solved fairly in the absence of a comprehensive political settlement on the island.

The event is in English. The event programme is:
• Introductions from the Seminar Chair – Fevzi ¬Hussein, policy advisor to the Communication Workers Union and Embargoed! chair

• Britain, Cyprus, and the Aftermath of the Orams Ruling – former British MP and current vice-chair of the TRNC British Residents Society Stephen Day

• Landownership in Cyprus, Property Disputes and Current Remedies – human rights lawyer Emine Erk

• Cypriot Attitudes to Property and their Bearing on the Cyprus Political Negotiations – researcher & academic Erol Kaymak (co-author of new, ground-breaking ‘attitudes’ research)

• Solving the Cyprus Property Conundrum – political strategist Ergun Olgun

• Question and Answer session – attendees can put questions to the panel

• Chair’s Concluding Remarks

Venue: Room D302, situated on the third floor of Clement House at the LSE, in Aldwych (nearest tubes are Temple and Holborn).
