Ministry of Interior launches digital portal for reporting illegal use of Turkish-Cypriot properties

On October 19, 2026, the Cypriot Ministry of Interior announced the launch of a new digital service designed to enhance transparency and accountability in the management of Turkish-Cypriot properties. Citizens can now submit reports and complaints regarding illegal use or administrative irregularities directly to the Service for the Management of Turkish-Cypriot Properties through a dedicated electronic form available on the government portal.

This initiative is part of a broader ministerial effort to modernize procedures and ensure lawful administration of these assets. According to official statements, all incoming reports must be submitted with identity verification. Once received, these formal complaints will be investigated with high priority by competent officials to detect and address potential abuses. The government emphasizes that this digital tool serves as a mechanism to empower citizens to actively participate in the monitoring and oversight of state-managed properties, ensuring that the management process remains efficient, meritocratic, and transparent.

The project reflects the government's commitment to strengthening control mechanisms. By providing a streamlined, accessible channel for information, the Ministry aims to improve overall governance and curb long-standing issues related to property management.
