Nicosia, May 20 (CNA) -- Cyprus' Permanent Representative to the UÍ in
Geneva, Alexandros Vikis, has handed over to UN High Commissioner for Human
Rights, Mary Robinson, a letter referring to the 4th Inter-state
application of the Cyprus Republic against Turkey in the European Court of
Human Rights (ECHR) as well as the Court's recent judgment.
In the letter, Vikis notes Turkey has been found guilty of massive
violations of human rights of the people of Cyprus, including the rights of
Greek Cypriot refugees to their properties and their right to return to
their homes, the rights of the missing persons, the rights of the relatives
of the missing persons and the rights of some 500 Greek Cypriots who have
remained in the northern areas of the island occupied by Turkey since 1974.
