North Cyprus Property | Afrika Newspaper | Akfinans Bank Coverage

Leave it to Afrika Gazetesi to do the right thing every time. The front page and page two show that Sener Levent has the sort of courage north Cyprus based press corps need to retain credibility and be worthy of the title ‘press.’ Publish and be damned or, in Mr Levent’s case, ‘shot at’ goes to prove the integrity and the courage of this man.

On page one the banks who so prominently feature in the ipotek (mortgage) scams are named. On page two there is more detail.

The above, in Turkish is taken from page two. Whilst I have no idea what it says I can recognise figures, 250% the amount that appeared on the mortgage document submitted to the Tapu on the 11th November 2005 stating that the security was land. A lie, in my opinion, since the bank had commissioned a survey which revealed the existence of property some five months previously in March 2005. Afrika Gazetesi have previously published these facts and published a copy of the report.

The photo on the front page looks suspiciously like Harmony homes another development with a similar problem but a different bank is involved.

There must have been times when the victims, all victims of property scams, feel very alone, marginalised even. Whilst there are newspapers like Afrika Gazetesi prepared to PUBLISH AND BE DAMNED, you are not alone. Turkish Cypriots do care, but first they need to know. Mr Levent is making sure they do.
