"Turkish Cypriots want to return to Tylliria homes
By Jean Christou
TURKISH Cypriot villagers, originally from Tylliria on the north western coast of the island, are asking to move back and have made an official request to the government.
Reports yesterday said the government was considering the request and would given an answer by December.
According to Turkish Cypriot newspaper Yeniduzen, former residents of five villages in the area who currently live in Yialousa, are demanding to return to their ancestral homes.
This might also pave the way for Greek Cypriots to return to live in Yialousa, the group representing the Turkish Cypriots said.
The group is also demanding compensation from the government for being forced to leave Tylliria in 1964 and being forced off their land prior to that during the intercommunal troubles."
