European court rules against Turkey in deaths of Greek Cypriots
Under the above title Turkish daily Today´s Zaman newspaper (25.06.08) reports the following:
The European Court of Human Rights yesterday ruled against Turkey in the deaths of two Greek Cypriots in 1996 on the divided island of Cyprus, sentencing Ankara to pay almost 400,000 euros to relatives of the two for both pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages.

The claimants in the case were relatives of Anastasios Isaak and Solomos Solomou who died in 1996. Isaak had participated in a Greek Cypriot demonstration organized by the Cyprus Motorcycle Federation (CMF) to protest the Turkish military presence in the northern part of Cyprus. Tensions arose when the authorities of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC) announced that they would organize counter-rallies with the participation of the Turkish extremist Grey Wolves group and that they would fire at Greek Cypriot demonstrators. The claimants as well as the Greek Cypriot government alleged that during the demonstration Isaak was kicked and beaten to death by Turkish and Turkish Cypriot policemen and counter-demonstrators.
As for Solomou, having attended Isaaks funeral, he entered the buffer zone with other demonstrators near the scene of the killing and, in protest, climbed up a flagpole flying the Turkish flag. He was shot and killed.

Under Article 41 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the court awarded 80,000 euros to Anastasios Isaaks widow for pecuniary damages. For non-pecuniary damages, the court awarded 35,000 euros each to Isaaks widow, his parents and to Solomous father, and also 15,000 euros to each of Isaaks and Solomous siblings. The applicants in both cases were also awarded 12,000 euros for costs and expenses, a press release on the courts Web site said yesterday. In both cases the court noted that the Turkish government had failed to produce any evidence showing that an investigation had been carried out into the circumstances of Isaak and Solomous deaths.
DP!
PS Personally I would of ordered Turkey to hand over the criminals who did this as well as those who ordered the killings and we ALL know who that was!
Who let the DOGS out? Raulf! Raulf! Raulf! Raulf!
