[01] CMP to request from Turkish army to go ahead with exhumations in
three military sites
The Committee on Missing Persons is ready to proceed with the exhumation
of remains in three specific military zones in the occupied part of
Cyprus, if the Turkish army gives the go-ahead, outgoing Greek Cypriot
member of the CMP Aristos Aristotelous said here today.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkish troops invaded and
occupied its northern third. Since then, the fate of hundreds of people
remains unknown.
A Committee on Missing Persons has been established, upon agreement
between the leaders of the two communities, with the scope of exhuming,
identifying and returning the remains of missing persons to their
relatives.
