August 2009
Five more soldiers were identified and their relatives informed. They are the five that made headlines in the news, when photos and video of their capture by the Turkish army, were screened. The hopes of their relatives that these five might still be alive as they were seen taken alive on video and photos, were dashed! They were executed in cold blood and their bodies found in a well with 19 other Missing persons in the village of Tziaos. They are Antonakis Korellis from Kythrea, Panayiotis Nicolaou from Exo Metohi, Ioannis Papayiannis from Neon Chorion Kythreas, Christoforos Skordis from Dali and Philippos Hadjikyriakou from Famagusta. If this is not proof of war crimes by the Turkish army, executing POWs, then what is?
Perhaps The Rt Hon David Miliband of our Foreign Office can give us the answer.
From our records, the identified do not seem to have any close relatives in the UK.
There have been thirteen more identifications in April – May 09 and the relatives have been informed. Five of them were members of the Souppouri family killed by Turkish soldiers in the village of Palekythro. They were not included in the list of the Missing, as it was known that they were killed. The other eight remains were of soldiers and civilians. The funerals of most of them have taken place. From our records we do not seem to have any close relatives of the identified Missing in the UK.
January 2009 - The remains of two more of our Missing have been identified and handed over to their relatives for proper burial.
They are those of Erineos A. Louca from Ayios Sergios, Famagusta and Yiangos M. Mama from Kalon Chorio Lefkas.
It is expected that more identified remains will be handed over to their relatives soon.
