the missing

Over 1,500 people have been missing since Turkey invaded and occupied a large part of Cyprus in 1974.

This tragic problem of a purely humanitarian nature remains unresolved because Turkey, in full disregard of international conventions and declarations, does not allow effective investigations to be carried out. Persuasive information, which could determine the fate of missing persons, has not been revealed. Wives and mothers of the missing, like latter day Penelopes, have been waiting for news of their loved ones, living life in a state of limbo.


Of the people who were missing, over 350 have been found in mass graves but are as yet unidentified...

These are just a few of those still missing:
