A ghost town in Cyprus’s Turkish-controlled north will be resettled and thrown open to investment, in an apparent bid to win international recognition of the self-declared Turkish Cypriot state as Ankara pursues energy claims in contested waters off the island’s shore.
Greek Cypriots who dominated the area before its 1974 takeover by the Turks will be among those able to reclaim lost property as the plan -- branded as an economic stimulus program -- gets underway.
