European court fines Greece for violating Turks' property rights
4 July 2012 / TODAYSZAMAN.COM
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has fined Greece for violating the property rights of 14 ethnic Turks living in northeastern Greece.
According to the court's ruling in Buyan and Others vs. Greece, the Greek government has been found guilty of nationalizing the properties of 14 ethnic Turks near the village of Glyphada, in the region of Rodopi, and of delaying the payment of compensation.
The ECtHR ruled that Greece violated the sixth article of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which concerns the right to a fair trial, and the first article of Protocol 1, which is related to the protection of property. Greece will be required to pay nearly 37,000 euros to eight of the 14 plaintiffs.
