[03] FM - Missing persons - Exhumations
Nicosia, Jun 23 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government calls on the Turkish Cypriot
side to cooperate in the investigations into the fate of missing persons
and deal with the issue as a humanitarian one, Foreign Minister Ioannis
Kasoulides said here today adding the government renews its appeal to
relatives of missing persons to come forward to give blood to scientists
and any information that might be of use to the process of exhumation and
identification of remains of the 1974 Turkish invasion.
Speaking at the 17th Annual Marathon of Love for Missing Persons Kasoulides
said the government decided unilaterally to proceed with the exhumations
after the Turkish Cypriot side raised serious obstacles in the
implementation of an agreement it had made in July 1997 with President
Glafcos Clerides adding that the this process has so far revealed that
about 26 remains are relate to cases of missing persons.
