Kidney swap model floated as route through Cyprus property deadlock

Writing in Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris Postasi, Engin Kara argues Turkish Cypriots should return to and reclaim their rights within the Republic of Cyprus, with property the hardest part of that return. He points to the kidney transplant exchange system designed by economists Tayfun Sonmez and Utku Unver with Nobel laureate Alvin Roth, in which incompatible donor-patient pairs swap donors crosswise. For 50 years, property has sat at the centre of every Cyprus negotiation, deferred to a 'comprehensive settlement'.
