THE FACTS

The problem: Over 900 people remain 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 600 have been found in mass graves but are as yet unidentified...

Some were listed as prisoners of war by the International Red Cross, but they have not been heard of since. Many were last seen alive in the hands of the Turkish army or Turkish Cypriots acting under the Turkish occupation forces instruction and responsibility.
