Dear P&S,
Sorry to read the problems in the village - I assume the village is located in the south. There are serious problems going on at the moment - been advising foreigners on land-property law myself for the last 2 years now from Alanya to Cesme. I am afraid there isnt much you can do with the government like that and you must have a lawyer to take those previous owners to the court for unlawful claims over the property. There are ways to stop them from refusing to sign over the titles. You have probably bought the land with a "Muhtar Senedi" (as most of the village properties have no proper title deeds due to the lack of cadastral planning) which should act strongly as in normal title deed (tapu).
