Kann jemand erklären, was diese Zeichen in Türkisch in Varosha, Famagusta, sind?

ChatGPT:

This picture is an information board in Cyprus, showing the history of a piece of land/property called **“Çay Bahçesi” (Tea Garden)** in **Maraş/Varosha**.

Here’s the explanation in simple words:

* The land was originally donated (vakıf property) in **1571** by Ottoman philanthropists.
* **Vakıf property** means it was dedicated for public/charitable use and **cannot legally be sold, given away, or turned into private property**.
* The board shows documents (land registry/tapu records) from **1913, 1923, 1937, and 1947**, proving that the land belonged to **Abdullah Paşa Vakfı** (a charitable foundation).

The timeline:

* **1913:** The land was registered under Abdullah Paşa Vakfı.
* **1923:** Still under Abdullah Paşa Vakfı.
* **1937:** Again confirmed as vakıf property.
* **1947:** Suddenly, Abdullah Paşa Vakfı’s name was removed, and the property was shown as private (which the board says was **illegal**).
* After that, in **1958**, it was being used as a municipal tea garden (Çay Bahçesi).

The message:
The board emphasizes that according to **Vakıf laws and international law**, vakıf property like this **cannot be sold, gifted, or transferred**. It must stay vakıf property forever, but in 1947 it was wrongfully changed into private property.

👉 In short:
This sign is showing proof that the **Tea Garden in Maraş was originally charity foundation land**, but it was **illegally converted into private property in 1947**.

It is the latest invention of Turkish propaganda to find a pretext to violate the purely Greek Cypriot-owned area of Varosha.
They dug up Ottoman documents that supposedly prove that these specific plots belong to Evkaf, which is the foundation that manages waqfs in Cyprus, so that in any dispute over compensation for loss of use brought by a Greek Cypriot displaced from the area in question before the Immovable Property Compensation Commission, which then refers the case to the European Court of Justice as a final resort , so that the EVKAF can intervene as an interested party in the dispute between the Greek Cypriot owner and Turkey, which is liable for compensation for loss of use, and complicate the situation by claiming that it has this (i.e. the foundation) had prior ownership of the property and complicating the proceedings with delays for the purpose of perverting the course of justice.
This claim has been refuted in two cases so far, where there is a precedent from the European Court of Human Rights, according to which ownership was not recognized to the EVKAF because there is documentation from the United Kingdom in the protocol of the Zurich Agreements that in 1960 the Turkish Cypriot community was compensated in two equal instalments by the British Colonial Office for the expropriation of specific plots of land in the Varosia area that were waqfs, and there is even written proof of the deposit of the sums of money into the account of Dr. Fazil Küçük, who was the first Vice-President of the Republic of Cyprus and the official head of the Turkish Cypriot community under the 1960 Constitution.

Essentially referring to Ottoman documentations about how the said plot was a vaqf property. Although they refer to British misconduct on there; they do not talk about how they actually forgave all those in exchange of lump sum and also before that they burned old documents in their own archives soon after British ended intervening to leadership to Evkaf; what you see there is whatever Evkaf leadership was able to dig in last decade

It says what you’ve learned about history is definitely wrong and their road sign is right and you should believe it /s

Proof that all Varosha belongs to Turks and it will not be returned

That is why Turkey does not belong to the European Union and should be treated the same as Russia.
