I sure hope that at least one of those 'angels' in the photo was a relative of Piratis' ... that's enough justification to have executed any or all of them. Regardless, there is no proof that they were executed by the Turkish Army. They could have been killed by GC's for all we know.

Hey jelly-brains… had you seen the entire set of those photos you would’ve seen the last one or two showing the vehicle slowly driving away while the onboard gun is turned in the prisoner’s direction.

And who was taking the photo, the prisoners?

I would like to see the whole set...

No disrespect to you GR cause you know I think the World of you, but your point is ?

Where are these photo's you speak of ?

Do they show any bullets coming out of 'Turkish" guns ?

And who was taking the photo, the prisoners?

Yeah, with a Polaroid!

I would like to see the whole set...

The Turks had a journalist among them taking the photos who was later captured by GCs and the film confiscated.

Gabira, please take unkie GR's word for it... they were shot from the vehicle as it drove away.

Sounds pretty fishy to me.

The only evidence that might prove what really went on there, just "happens" to be captured by the GC's, and we are yet to see these photos.

I am also curious about that one guy back there, you can just about see the top of his hair because he is in the back row, but another site which hosts this photo claims that all of them have been identified, I guess the guy must have very original hair considering he was spotted at an instant...

That is exactly what happen.

There was a Turkish Journalist who was there to photograph the Turkish soldiers shouting the POWs a cigarette. The photos were then to be used as part of Turkey's war time propaganda by telling the world how civilised they are and how well they treated their captives.

The Turkish journalist was then captured by the CNG and the film was confiscated.

The POWs were then executed. Their remains were discovered within a mass grave containing 19 GCs, and not all of them were soldiers. The family had to provide numerous DNA samples to the Missing Persons Committee so that the data could be used to identify any remains that were found.

GR! is absolutely correct... I know this story very well because one of the 5 is my wife's Uncle (Ioannis Pappayianni) from Kythrea. He is the kneeling closest to the armed Turkish Soldier.

You see Shah, Cyprus is a very tiny place and all these events have left just about every single Cypriot family scarred forever, in one way or another. We all have a story to tell.....

It's a small world and Cyprus is just a little speck within this world.

That is one thing we can aggree on Paphitos, but does not seem to take us anywhere constructive...

When will the world realize the only when Turkey and it's barbarians are eliminated and returned to their nation of Turkinmenstan then Europe will enjoy eternal peace. Did the Turks know that Turkish Cypriots are blood related to the Turkish people? I learn that from a Turkish Cypriot in Cyprus this summer. He says the Turks of Cyprus are really Greeks who did not want to be harassed during the Ottoman Empire. They converted to Islam. That is why a true Turkish Cypriot cannot speak Turkish. They want the Turks to leave Cyprus with their settlers. But, are afraid of harassement. There is no freedom even for the Turkish Cypriots by the illegal occupation of the Barbaric Turkish government. If they complain they are killed. Many Turkish Cypriots are leaving the North to go to the south to live with the Greeks who enjoy freedom. Democracy was invented by the Greeks. Tyranny and ethnic cleaniesing was invented by the Barbarians of Turkinmenstan the homeland of the Turks. That is why Europeans do not want them in the EU. They are not Europeans. They are Asians. Go back to their homeland and fight for their rights and leave us alone.
