Revelations in the Greek Cypriot media that another so-called Greek Cypriot missing person actually died on 24 July 1974 exposed the lies of the Greek Cypriot regime once again.

The DNA tests carried out in the Lakadamia cemetery revealed that Costas Menikou was buried in Lakadamia military cemetery in south Cyprus years ago.

Greek Cypriot regime, media and the Greek-Greek Cypriot lobbies in Britain and other countries, for years, used and still is using this humanitarian issue to achieve political gains and trying to get Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots condemned, have been using the so-called missing Greek Cypriots and their families as political pawns since 1974.

With the latest revelations, the Greek Cypriot media who used a picture of Costas Menikou to claim that he was a captive of Turkey, tried to cover up their deliberate misinformation by claiming that the picture used was someone who looked like Costas Menikou.

Fileleftheros, a Greek Cypriot newspaper reported that Costas Menikou, who was a sergeant in a Greek Cypriot commando unit, died on 24 July 1974 and was buried in the Lakadamia cemetery.

Cyprus Mail, taking extracts from Politis, another Greek Cypriot newspaper reported:

"POLITIS: 'When the grave talks'. As Costas Menikou's family is preparing a burial service for him in Melbourne, the paper said it had discovered that the Service for Missing Persons knew that he was dead and buried in a military cemetery in Nicosia years ago. They did not announce the fact to his family, who live Australia, and lived in hope that their long lost son might one day return from captivity."

Unlike the Greek Cypriot side, Turkish Cypriot side has never used the issue of the Turkish Cypriot missing to make any political gains. Their families admit that they were killed by the Greeks-Greek Cypriots long time ago. Their mothers, unlike the Greek Cypriot ones do not dress all in black carrying pictures and pretending that their sons are still alive. However we do not blame these people, after all they are lied to by their own political leaders, who actually caused the Cyprus tragedy.

Blame for the on going lies and the suffering it causes to the families of these people falls on the Greek Cypriot regime and their supporters in the EU, which unfortunately contains some British MPs and MEPs.

The right thing to do is, the Greek Cypriot side should tell their people that their loved ones died long time ago. Above all they should tell their own people and the rest of the world how many of these so-called Greek Cypriot missing was actually killed by the Greek soldiers and the Greek Cypriot terrorist during the coup against Makarios that took place on 15 July 1974 in the name of Greek desire for Enosis (union with Greece), the main cause of Cyprus problem.

Makarios himself, during his speech at the UN on 19 July 1974, a day before Turkey intervened, said that the casualties caused by the Greek Junta's coup were very high. Some European sources put this around 3000.

Old news my friend. Costas Menikou has been removed from the list of missing persons since September 2000. Plenty more out there to find though.

Idiot! .... what do the DNA tests prove other than the identity of the man?

Murderous barbarians ... who know nothing but how to kill and invade other's lands ... stop and go back to where you came from so that we can resume normality ....

You fail to comprehend your murderous invasive actions....

So we can not blame Turkey for this.

We can blame them for killing him. Also, the article doesn't say if he was buried as an identified person or if his remains were just buried as an unknown solider. Obviously, if he was unidentified at the time of burial and was only identified years later by DNA test then there was no deliberate deception on the part of the RoC authorities.

It says he was buried in Lakadamia military cemetary. This is because he was a soldier. Just because he was buried there does not mean he was killed anywhere near there.

If there are graves for unknown soldiers at Lakadamia, he may have been one of those. After all, if they didn't know who he was until they DNA tested him they wouldn't have been able to return him to his family.

If you're going to insult me at least try something more creative than 'idiot'.

So Greek Cypriots go missing at the hands of Turks...

Years later, they may be identified as having being killed ....

How does this not correlate with the fact that Turkey invaded , killed or kidnapped hundreds of Greek Cypriot men, women and children, if some decades later, some of them have been found and confirmed by DNA tests to be those of the missing ...

Are the Turks really thick, or just stupid .. or imbecilic or is it just soyer ....
