Turkey has been ordered to pay Cyprus a record £75million for its 1974 invasion and the island's subsequent division. The European Court of Human Rights said the passage of time did not erase Turkey's responsibility in the case, ruling that the country must pay £24million to relatives of those missing in the operations. It also ordered Turkey to pay £50million for 'the enclaved Greek-Cypriot residents of the Karpas peninsula' - the northernmost tip of the Turkish Cypriot part of the island where hundreds of Greek Cypriots still live. True cost: The European Court of Human Rights said the passage of time did not erase Turkey's responsibility for the invasion of Cyprus.
