    The Cypriot MPs asked their European counterparts to exert pressure on Turkey to alter its stance and open the archives of its army, to determine the fate of the missing persons, and generally to change its intransigence and cooperate for a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem.

    Chairwoman of the Committee, Skevi Koukouma, noted that the Committee views the political aspect of the issue of missing persons in Cyprus as a very serious one.
