The cream of the Turkish Cypriot shops in Paphos ended up with millionaires, people who have party backs or are associated with MPs and even by bypassing the advisory committee, as complained yesterday by the chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for Refugees Christos Christofidis and Dimadon a lottery between the beneficiaries, in order to consolidate the sense of justice.
Referring to one of the most privileged stores, which, as mentioned by the mayor of Paphos, would like to manage the whole Paphos, said that this was given to a millionaire with party backs. In fact, the store was not granted on the recommendation of the advisory committee but after cooking the names of the applicants in Nicosia.
In total, he said, 11 of the 15 recommendations of the advisory committee were overturned when they arrived in Nicosia and the shops were given to other people, creating questions. were given to the son of an employee of the Turkish Cypriot Property Management Service and in fact for these he receives grants of tens of thousands of euros. He also referred to privileged shops worth hundreds of thousands of euros, for which (by interested) air could be given € 500,000 in the city center. & Nbsp;

In a case of a store, 34 refugees applied, from which we singled out (as an advisory committee) six applicants, but in order not to be wronged, we made a draw, said Mr. Faidonos, who added that everyone was happy. Eventually the lottery was overturned in Nicosia, as he argued that “the corrupt political system through which some people build careers by securing a clientele and voters” was not convenient.
which was given another 2,000 sq.m. as a courtyard of the house, because he was associated with an employee of the Turkish Cypriot property. And the explanation given by Mr. Faidonos: It was, however, a party executive with a party affiliation.
He also said that some are holding millions of Turkish Cypriots. There were, he said, 50 stores that were used as warehouses in the center of Paphos and added that the interest in managing them began when the area was upgraded. The mayor of Paphos praised Socrates Hasikos and Konstantinos Petridis for the cooperation on the issue of the Turkish Cypriots, to add that there is no cooperation with Nikos Nouris because he is not in the mood to proceed with regulations and transparency.
The most privileged
The most privileged store was given to a person who owns land which he rents in a supermarket chain, while he has his own stores and in addition he was given the most sought after Turkish Cypriot store.
They also gave the second best store to a woman with party acquaintances who owns a nut processing factory, while it has two other Turkish Cypriot stores in the inn in Paphos. However, the director of the Turkish Cypriot Property Management Service, Mr. George Mattheopoulos, stated that the specific woman expressed the desire to return the two stores.
They take them and sit … in a cage
During the meeting, the mayor of Paphos stated that a year and a half ago there was a process of conceding 26 stores and to date, only five of them have operated. According to Mr. Phaedon, this is because the cost of renovation is high, but it may also be due to the fact that some people submit applications not to operate the stores but to sublet them, something that is prohibited.
He also argued that in the case of the 18 stores that were recently granted, 5-6 will still operate. He also complained that since the advisory committee makes suggestions as to who should buy a store, and the majority of them are rejected, it simply means that it is not taken into account. He also said that applications are submitted by students or soldiers who obviously can not use the shops. He also complained that a shop was given to a person whose father is a millionaire and added that he has connections with a political party.
Complaints of the chairman & nbsp; and members of the Commission
Mr. Christos Christofidis spoke about “unworthy, rusfetological management by the Ministry of Interior”. He also argued that this management is done in recent years on the basis of party criteria, but also on the basis of serving major financial interests.
Referring to the concession of 18 stores in Paphos, he said that the relevant decision was requested to be revoked, but to his great surprise he was informed that “for the first time they ran very fast procedures and the contracts have already been signed”. He wondered why the rush, when the Government claims that it is a matter of time to submit regulations to the Parliament, based on which the distribution of Turkish Cypriot property will be regulated according to objective criteria. He hinted that the Turkish Cypriot shops were distributed on purpose, before the criteria in question were applied. He also referred to “specific cases of very wealthy people and relatives or politicians of the ruling party who took Turkish Cypriot premises and have been served, even overturning the decision of the advisory committee”. & Nbsp;
Finally, he said that in his letter he requested the intervention of the Auditor General, because, as he said, it is not possible for thousands of refugees to be wronged and at the same time to serve money and party attendees “.
DIKO MP Christos Senekis spoke about party in the management of Turkish Cypriot property in Paphos.
Ecologist MP Alexandra Attalidou, said that a family from Nicosia took three Turkish Cypriot houses in Paphos. At the same time, he stressed that the Turkish Cypriot assets worth billions should be used by the refugee beneficiaries or the owners of occupied properties.
