"Turkish Cypriot judge wins Supreme Court battle
By John Leonidou

A TURKISH-CYPRIOT judge who was ordered to abandon his job has won a Supreme Court battle to claim unpaid wages and pension money dating back to 1966.

Although unconfirmed, legal sources say the appellant could be getting as much as £100,000.
According to the appeal, which was accepted by Supreme Court Judge Myron Nicolattos on March 21, Ulfet Emin was forced out of his office on the morning of June 2, 1966 by Greek Cypriot police and moved into the Turkish section of the island despite his protests."
