Thalia IOANNOU CHIRA and Others against Türkiye
and 6 other applications
(see list appended)

The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 3 February 2026 as a Committee composed of:

Jovan Ilievski, President,
Gediminas Sagatys,
Hugh Mercer, judges,
and Dorothee von Arnim, Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above applications lodged on the various dates indicated in the appended table,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

1. A list of the applicants and the relevant details are set out in the appendix.

2. The applicants complained of a prolonged non-enforcement of the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” (“TRNC”) Immovable Property Commission (“IPC”) awards made in their favour, the absence of any statutory interest for such a delay in enforcement and a lack of effective remedies. They also alleged that they had been discriminated against on the basis of their Greek Cypriot origin. The applicants relied on Articles 6, 8, 13 and 14 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention.

3. On the dates specified in the appendix, the applicants and their representatives informed the Court that the IPC award in the applicants’ favour had been duly executed and that therefore they did not wish to pursue their cases before the Court.

THE LAW

4. Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.

5. In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention or its Protocols, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of the applications.

6. In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the cases out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to join the applications;

Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.

Done in English and notified in writing on 5 March 2026.
