Now that the city is occupied by the Turks, why haven't they used it? It's a bit late now (and many buildings are no doubt no longer safe), but why didn't they use it then? There's a lot of investment in the structures in the city.

Turkish never intended to use the city, actually army didn't want to push this far neither. When they were able to, they just wanted to use Varosha as a bargaining chip to keep Turkish population in north safe in the negotiations -since city was important for Greek Cypriots-

None expected negotiations would take decades.
