Seminar: Cypriots sue Turkey, its illegal regime and HSBC bank in US courts

LOBBY FOR CYPRUS - Seminar

Date: Friday 3 December 2010 at 7.30pm ∙

Venue: Greek Cypriot Brotherhood, Britannia Road, London, N12 9RU ∙

Leading US lawyer Athan Tsimpedes returns to London by popular request for a follow up seminar on Cypriots taking mass legal action against Turkey's illegal regime in the occupied part of Cyprus , and the HSBC Plc bank.

The seminar will cover:

Why Greek Cypriots from the US , Canada, Cyprus, the UK and all over the world are registering their interest in this US class(mass) action lawsuit.

Other legal processes against businesses such as Turkish Airlines and REMAX which violate human rights in the occupied areas.

How US law compliments European Law and cases related to Cyprus .

How to Bring Turkey to justice for its atrocities in the courts of the U.S. through a landmark case, Kirkham v Air France , won by Mr. Tsimpedes

NEVER FORGET!

· Do you believe you have a right to compensation for loss of use of your property since 1974?

· Do you want to expose a global bank that is illegally processing sales of Greek Cypriot property?

· Do you want Turkey to be condemned for the atrocities committed in 1974 by the US court system?

Dear Compatriot, this is your chance, at minimal cost, to preserve your's and your family's rights in occupied Cyprus by joining this class action against Turkey and their illegal agents who are criminally selling your family's heritage. Join us at the Seminar and why not, Join the Class action too.

Wednesday 24th March 2010 - The case of ‘Apostolides v Orams’ and the rule of law in the EU

with Constantis Candounas, Meleteis Apostolides and Dr Kyriakides

INVITATION- IMPORTANT SEMINAR

Lobby for Cyprus is pleased to invite you to a seminar on

The case of ‘Apostolides v Orams’ and the rule of law in the European Union

Mr Meletis Apostolides and his lawyer Constantis Candounas will discuss the recent English Court of Appeal decision. This landmark case is of fundamental importance because the English Court of Appeal, in common with the European Court of Justice, upheld all the rights of Mr Apostolides in relation to his land and properties in Turkish-occupied Cyprus. In so doing, the Court of Appeal effectively upheld the rule of law and the rights of all of the dispossessed property owners in the Turkish-occupied areas of Cyprus.

Mr Constantis Candounas will consider the significant implications of this case for all those illegally trespassing and profiting from land and properties in the occupied areas of Cyprus who now face having judgments enforced against them and their assets in the UK and EU Courts.

We will also be honoured to have Mr Meletis Apostolides in attendance to provide his personal view on the case.

The leading lecturer, lawyer and academic, Dr. Klearchos Kyriakides, will conclude the Seminar by explaining how the case re-affirms the rule of law, the principle which obliges all EU states, including the UK, to uphold the legal rights of all European Union citizens, including those of the Republic of Cyprus.

“DEFINING SILENCE Famagusta-Cyprus 28.5 km/hr”, 15 minutes, silent, 2009.
Defining Silence’ political approach is against fuelled nationalism and militarism. Facing the given reality of Famagusta’s ghost town under Military Occupation, a grey wolf strolls in and out of the periphery.

The End? Without a word, the wolf went straight to the grandmother’s bed, where Little Red Riding Hood found him.
