Cyprus v. Turkey

Cyprus v. Turkey (2001) (No. 25781/94) is a case raised by Cyprus against Turkey in 1994 and decided on merits by the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights in 2001. It concerns the situation existing in northern Cyprus after 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus and the De facto separation of the Mediterranean island.

On the accountability, the Court held, by sixteen votes to one, referring to its Loizidou v. Turkey judgment, that the facts complained of fell within the jurisdiction of Turkey and therefore entailed Turkey's responsibility.

On the merits, the Court held with differing divisions of votes (in most cases either unanimously or by 16 votes to 1):

Deciding on possible awarding compensation was postponed and the judgment on this issue was adopted on 12 May 2014, ordering Turkey to pay 90,000,000 euros to Cyprus.

Judges Palm (Sweden), Costa (France), Jungwiert (Czech Republic), Pantiru (Moldova), Levits (Latvia), Kovler (Russia), Fuad (Turkey) and Marcus-Helmons (Cyprus) expressed partly dissenting opinions to the judgment on the merits.

15 judges have expressed five concurring or dissenting opinions on the judgment on just satisfaction.
