691 missing Greek Cypriots no longer sought

691 Greek Cypriots who went missing during the Turkish invasion are not being sought by the Committee on Missing Persons or the Republic of Cyprus. This is due to pressure from the Turkish side to reduce the number of missing persons and the belief that these individuals were killed during hostilities. The issue of 565 fallen and 126 removed from the missing persons list was raised in a parliamentary committee session. Testimonies placing some of the 126 in certain locations have emerged, leading to their cases being reconsidered for investigation. Relatives of the missing are frustrated with the lack of effort to determine the fate of their loved ones.
