LOBBY OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. On Tuesday 6th July 2010, like every year, we demonstrated in Parliament Square. Our picket was attended by MPs Theresa Villiers, David Burrowes, Alan Meale and Andy Love, as well as members from our community and officials from various political parties and organisations. Leaflets were distributed. After the picketing we moved into the house where newly elected and re-elected MPs spoke and promised to work even harder for a solution to the Cyprus problem and that of the Missing.

RALLY FOR CYPRUS. On Sunday 18th July we participated, like every year, in the rally from outside the Turkish embassy in Belgrave Square to Trafalgar Square. We walked behind our banner carrying photos of our Missing and demanding an end to this inhumane treatment by Turkey. MPs from all parties addressed the demonstrators and promised to increase their efforts to bring an end to the illegal occupation of Cyprus and to the abuse of human rights by Turkey including the problem of the Missing. The main speaker was Mrs Erato Kozakou-Markoulli, Cyprus Minister of Works and Communications.

TURKISH AUDACITY AT ITS BEST!!
The unbelievable Turkish propaganda has no boundaries or restraints. A photograph (right), which has been a symbol of our struggle in the search for the fate of our missing persons, is being used for Turkish propaganda in an unthinkable way. Not to justify their crimes; not to alienate or to turn attention elsewhere. But to load the crime onto the Greek Cypriots! A so called information document by the Turkish Foreign Affairs Ministry on Cyprus, promotes this photograph as a Greek Cypriot crime against the Turkish Cypriots in 1963. The photograph is that of the five Greek Cypriots captured by the Turkish invading forces at Tziaos in 1974 and ever since the Turkish invasion to this day is characterised as the most vivid picture of the invasion. It should be noted that the remains of those five captured Greek Cypriots has been found in a well in the occupied village of Tziaos and have been identified through the DNA method last year (2009). This development brought to the forefront again the story of Antonakis Korellis from Kythrea, Panayiotis Nicolaou from Exo Metohi, Ioannis Papayiannis from Neon Chorion Kythreas, Christoforos Skordis from Dali and Philippos Hadjikyriakou from Famagusta.

Here’s the picture of the five Greek Cypriots captured in the occupied village of Tziaos and who where soon afterwards murdered in cold blood, ........now used for Turkish propaganda (see article on the left).
