- An abandoned town in Cyprus is returning to life after almost half a century.
Greek Cypriots left the resort of Varosha in 1974, when it was captured by Turkish troops.
Now Turkish Cypriot leaders are pushing ahead with plans to reopen it.
Al Jazeera’s Andrew Simmons reports, former residents are still locked out.

Why don't you clarify the "conflict" in your opening line as an invasion. If they wish to open it to the international community as stated, you already have private ownership of the properties who have been refrained from returning to their properties.
Funny how they had a Turkish Cypriot speak for the report and not any Greek Cypriot to give the other side.
@@HowInformative not a government official who are part of the negotiating talks.
@@HowInformative usually that fact is mentioned in the report. Your opinion doesn't matter in this situation. It is about objective journalism and not uncalled for commentary from your mum's basement.
Turkey and UK are benefiting by having Cyprus divided. 🇨🇾 A united Cyprus means the british bases, UN and turkish army will have to leave an island with a strategic location.
It is not a political issue. The ghost town should be returned to its lawfull inhabitants as stipulated by United Nations Security Council Resolution 550 and Turkey should stop violating basic human rights and return peoples homes.
Same for the other side. I'm still trying to claim my family property in the South.
Continuous provocation by the Ottoman invaders.
Used lock down well didn't they ! Give it back to those who legally own Verosha!!
Misleading report, the occupied Varoshia /Famagusta was NOT abandoned by the Greek Cypriots, but were forced to flee to save their lives, trying to escape the civilian bombing and barbarian atrocities carried out by the invading Turkish army, on the civilian population...;
Cyprus for Greece🇬🇷
Jerusalem and Palestine for Palestinians.
Why Cyprus for Greece?
I mean if you do Jerusalem for Palestinians, you might as well say Cyprus for Turkey🇹🇷.
kuwait for Iraq 🤣IQ
Cyprus for the Greeks 🇬🇷 and Jerusalem for the Jews 🇮🇱
hey watch it..first one ok but 2nd..!
@@maxs.5112 you obviously don’t understand history pal…
wait,so you are saying that the Turks offered Famagusta to Greek Cypriots and they didnt accept it? Then why they didn't accept it? whats the explanation?
Greek Cypriots want to unite the country as it was before the war in 1974. Greeks Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots living together as one country. With any illegal settlers that came to the north after the war to return to Turkey. Turkey offered Ammohostos back but wanted to keep the island devided and keep itsarmy in Cyprus. Every plan of unification since 1974 till today has been rejected by greeks as it was unfair to the Greek side. Taking back Ammohostos would not sole the divided island.
@@rafidalmayyhi3440 ok but as it seems right now taking back Famagusta would be the best the Greek Cypriots could get,isn't it? Anyway the Turks will not agree to unite the island so taking back a beautiful city with beautiful seaside for sure would be better than nothing...i guess right now its too late and Turks will not offer it anymore...
*Cyprus🇨🇾 have problem in North Cyprus.*
😮😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
they should build a hospital, nursing college@fire brigade@ 911 emergency centre all along the border(under UN supervision) so that both parties shared the "task"
Did you know Troy was in Turkey?
and? turks are mongoloids
Did you know Turkey was not existed?
Turkey invaded Cyprus! End off!
Lebanon must join the EU 🇱🇧🇪🇺🇱🇧🇪🇺
Lebanon is not even in Europe 🤣🤣🤣 that will NEVER happen
Best Solution ...
International Community should Recognize Two separate States.
The international community will never recognise a UDI in Cyprus. No to two states. Yes to One reunification and Turkey OUT!
Wrong
Cyprus will stay divided.
Two different people two languages two religions its impossible to have one country.
Remember Malaysia and Singapore tried to be one country.
Race riots quickly brought the border back
You are totally mistaken. Tell me a place in any developed country in the world that doesn't have many cultures and languages and religions... e.g. London, Berlin, Rome etc etc.
This is a big excuse for Turkey and UK for holding Cyprus divided. 🇨🇾 A united Cyprus means there are no more british bases, UN, turkish army.
@@lenoseth rubbish. Wales is a separate country. The Welsh hate the English. The Irish and the Cornish also hate the English. The English also hate the EU.
@@lenoseth Exactly
Turkish Cypriots lived with the Greek Cypriots in peace for many years before Turkey and Greece got involved and caused this issue.
Usual carefully worded Greek Cypriot sided propaganda….one way street now of 2 separate states!
But of course the uk gov doesn’t want to step on Greek Cypriot led southern toes as we all know the so called ‘Sovereign Base areas’ are the main concern for UK.
UK gov doesn’t want a 50’s style war against the uk and their prized jewel in their crown!!!!
Recognition of the
Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is the only way!!
Slava Turkish Republic of Cyprus 😁
