[01] GREEK FM - ATTILA OLGAC - MISSING PERSONS
Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs Dora Bakoyianni has assured that the
Greek government, in cooperation with the Cypriot government, and in
the framework of the UN and the EU, will utilise the confession of
Turkish actor Attila Olgac, who said he killed ten Greek Cypriots
during the 1974 invasion of the island, as an additional element in
shedding light on the issue of missing persons in Cyprus.
Speaking before the Hellenic Parliament, Bakoyiannis pointed out that
this evidence did not meet the necessary prerequisites to take Olgac to
the International Court of Justice at The Hague.
She said the issue of missing persons in Cyprus was a humanitarian
matter of great importance and that the Greek government was handling
it with caution and sensitivity, noting that the issue directly
concerns Greece, since there are also Greek families still living in
the hope that the fate of their loved ones will be determined.
