many others have been paint-marked by the Turkish forces for oncoming demolition.... [A]fter the houses of the Greek Cypriots are demolished, the plots of land are offered to settlers from mainland Turkey, in addition to financial assistance for the construction of new houses (ROCPRUN, 2007: 1).This is not propaganda: UNFICYP 'confirmed... and protested' against the demolition (UNSG, 2007: 6 - Para. 28), and the New Cyprus Party defined it as a 'destruction policy' (Kanatlı, 2007).
Tragically, Rizokarpaso building 7a was very good evidence: not only was it destroyed, but also its X-mark for destruction was still visible on some of the standing remains.
