Lawmakers in Cyprus have a new plan. It is about houses lost in the north. This is a problem since 1974. A group met this week. They talked about a new law. This law will help people. They lost land and buildings. They are thinking about money. They will decide when to pay.
A war started in 1974. People left their homes. They lost houses and farms. The government knows this is sad. A good way to pay was not here. This new law wants to fix this. It will be a clear system.
The plan needs a small tax. It is 0.4% on house sales. This can bring in money each year. Also, they can use money from another group. This group helps with money problems. The government thinks they can pay people.
But, the money might not be enough. Nikos Kettiros leads the group. He is worried. He said the small payments are bad. He thinks some people get very little money. This is only €2 each month. People wonder if this will help.
Lawmakers must choose a start date. They can start paying from 1974. Or, they can start when the law is new. This is a big choice. It changes how much money is needed. New rules will come soon. They will show how Cyprus helps. This problem still hurts many people. The plan needs money to work.
