The President of the Parliamentary Committee for Refugees Nikos Kettiros invited those refugees who have made minor interventions in their shelters, to report to the competent authorities from tomorrow and request the issuance of their title with a footnote.
Speaking after the Committee meeting, he said that if some people have erected an extra room or have closed a balcony, a note will now be added and the property title will be issued, as they were told by a representative of the Ministry of Interior.
He also said that there are cases where it is very difficult to issue titles because there are interventions in green spaces, on pavements, on foreign property. For these cases, he said there should be consultation to rectify any illegality and get their titles.
At the same time, he mentioned delays in the approval of lease certificates and titles in refugee settlements despite assurances given by government departments and political bosses. It was found, he said, that the problem cannot be solved if they continue to work at this pace.
He noted that some 9,000 lease certificates and title deeds are pending in self-housing and refugee settlements. Last year, he added, only 180 were issued. He wondered whether a "cybernetic Interpol fugitive would wait so many years to get his property title."
He also said that the problem of delay will never be addressed unless the issue of staffing in the land registry is moved forward. He also expressed readiness to support an increase in the 2023 budget of the budget for the cadastral staff dealing with the issuance of titles in refugee settlements.
