The issue of property in Cyprus, which has been the subject of protracted discussions and negotiations from the Cyprus Peace Operation in 1974 up until now, has taken on a new dimension since the government of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) declared that the fenced area of Varosha would be re-opened to settlement. Re-opening the fenced area of Varosha to settlement would rekindle some international law debates as has been observed in the other regions of the island of Cyprus. In this regard, the objective status and erga omnes character of the Founding Treaties inclusive to the Treaty of Establishment and Treaty of Guarantee debates on the legitimacy of intervention on the island and the conformity of this intervention with international law, Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), and the Judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) on the property rights of Greek Cypriots will pave the way for new discussions on the future of Fenced Varosha. What is more, the critical claim by the Administration of Foundations in Cyprus (EVKAF), with respect to the whole area of the fenced area Varosha belonging to the Foundation Land, will lead the debate on the fenced area of Varosha in gaining another dimension. This study will first discuss, from an international law perspective, the debates on the intervention in TRNC covering the fenced area of Varosha, then the status of Varosha in the UNSC Resolutions, and finally the issues of the ownership of property and foundation land in Varosha in the light of Judgments of the ECtHR.

Uluslararası Hukuk, Birleşmiş Milletler Güvenlik Konseyi Kararları ve Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi İçtihatları Işığında Kapalı Maraş Uyuşmazlığı

1974 Kıbrıs Barış Harekatı’ndan günümüze uzun tartışmaların ve müzakerelerin konusu olan Kıbrıs’ta mülkiyet sorunu Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti (KKTC) hükümetince Kapalı Maraş bölgesinin tekrar iskana açılacağının beyan edilmesinden sonra yeni bir boyuta taşındı. Kapalı Maraş’ın yerleşime açılması Kıbrıs Adasının diğer bölgelerinde olduğu gibi, birtakım uluslararası hukuk tartışmalarını yeniden gündeme getirecektir. Dolayısıyla Garantörlük Andlaşması ve Kurucu Andlaşmaların objektif statüsü ve erga omnes niteliği ile adaya müdahalenin meşruiyetine ve uluslararası hukuka uygunluğuna dair tartışmalar yeniden gündeme gelecektir. Bu anlamda Birleşmiş Milletler Güvenlik Konseyi (BMGK) kararları ve Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi’nin (AİHM) Rum toplumunun mülkiyet haklarına ilişkin kararları Kapalı Maraş için de benzer bir hukuki zemin sunmaktadır. Kapalı Maraş özelinde bu zemini başka bir boyuta taşıyacak önemli bir mesele ise Kıbrıs Vakıflar İdaresi (EVKAF) tarafından ileri sürülen Kapalı Maraş’ın tamamının vakıf arazisi olduğu iddiasıdır. Bu çalışmada; öncelikle Kapalı Maraş’ı da kapsayacak şekilde KKTC’ye müdahale hakkındaki tartışmalar, daha sonrasında BMGK kararlarında Kapalı Maraş’ın statüsü ve en sonunda ise AİHM kararları ışığında Kapalı Maraş’ta mülkiyet ve vakıf problemi, uluslararası hukuk perspektifinden, tartışılacaktır.
