STRASBOURG (Reuters) - The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ordered the Turkish government on Monday to pay 90 million euros (73 million pounds) in compensation to Cyprus over human rights abuses committed during and after Turkey's invasion of the island in 1974.
Ankara said before the announcement it would not be bound by the ruling, whose timing it said was aimed at undermining a fresh peace drive on the island. But a former Turkish judge at the ECHR said Turkey would have to pay the compensation.
