A delegation of the Committee on Missing Persons visited Tuesday a site at Afania village in the Turkish occupied areas where in the nineties decade, the remains of 100 missing Greek Cypriots are thought to have been moved.
The information for the site was given to `Politis` newspaper by a Turkish Cypriot and the newspaper`s Chief Editor, Sotiris Paroutis, accompanied the Greek Cypriot representative to the CMP, Nestoras Nestoros and his adviser, Xenofon Kallis to Afania where he pointed out the burial site.
Nestoros told CNA that the fenced area is located opposite a Turkish military camp, adding that the site is known to the CMP.
He also said that the delegation visited the Turkish Cypriot representative at the CMP where she was informed about the actions that will be undertaken.
Nestoros told CNA that during the CMP`s committee meeting on Thursday, he will submit a document about the case.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkish troops invaded and occupied its northern third. Since then, the fate of hundreds of people remains unknown.
A Committee on Missing Persons was established, upon agreement between the leaders of the two communities, with the scope of exhuming, identifying and returning the remains of missing persons to their relatives.
