With these lawsuits, the State claims property and / or areas based on documents even since the Turkish occupation.
Will suspend for six months (until September 30th 2025) the exercise conductor by the Public to claim private property and the progress of pipelines already filed and pending, according to an amendment to be tabled in Parliamentat the initiative of the Minister of National Economy and Finance Kostis Hatzidakis.
This amendment, and in particular with the overall legislation to follow, addresses a major problem that has arisen for thousands of owners across the country, who were confronted with the ownership of their property.
With these lawsuits, the State claims property or even entire areas based on documents even from the Turkish occupation. The lawsuits have multiplied in recent months, in view of the completion of the Land Registry and the expiration of deadlines for the exercise of correction of the first cadastral registrations.
It is noted that in most cases these lawsuits are rejected as unfounded as the Supreme Court He has found that the documents of the Turkish occupation are not enough, but – in order to be accepted – the lawsuit is needed – a title or real law or occupation by the State is needed. However, lawsuits are still filed because they have not yet been formed with overall criteria for when they will be exercised and when not to guide the administration and the State Legal Council.
These criteria – in the case of the Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court – will be introduced next time with the overall legislative intervention under training. This arrangement will provide the administration and the State Legal Council the guidelines for the claims that the State will put forward and the cases in which it will not be opposed to citizens. Therefore, many of the pending trials, which are suspended, will end with the resignation of the State and avoid the unnecessary suffering of the citizens, the involvement of the services and the State Legal Council in cases that do not benefit the public, as well as the landowners.
Until the adoption of the overall arrangement, the arrangement for six -month suspension is mediated, which provides that no new lawsuits will be filed And that the progress of the procedure will be temporarily suspended for six months. There will be immediate information from the General Secretariat of Public Property on all the relevant Real Estate Services of the State.
It is noted that citizens wishing not to delay their proceedings may request the normal progress of the trial at their request to the President of the competent three -member Council. Thus, citizens who do not wish to await overall legislation, but expect their immediate judicial justification, are not affected by the amendment regulation.
