They already have the testimonies which say it was the work of the Turks. So, your hopes for passing it off on someone else are futile.

They are not just reports, there are testimonies as well.

Besides, why would the Turks reject requests if they were innocent?

requests by the government for exhumations to take place in the region have met with rejection by the regime in the north.

So u claim that no GCs were killed by Sampson and his gangs?

I believe in CMP.

he underlined Turkey’s responsibilities and called on the Turkish army to allow access to its archives to help efforts to establish the fate of missing persons, especially those who were last seen in Turkey.

Where in the articles it mentions "requests by the government for exhumations to take place in the region have met with rejection by the regime in the north." ?

Reports of new mass grave in Lapithos

By Stefanos Evripidou

THE GOVERNMENT is aware of the existence of testimonies referring to a mass grave of Greek Cypriot missing persons in occupied Lapithos, said government spokesman Stefanos Stefanou yesterday.

Asked to comment on press reports that a mass grave of hundreds of Greek Cypriots could be found in occupied Lapithos, Stefanou said: “We have also seen the press reports. They are not just reports, there are testimonies as well. The government is working with discretion on the issue of the missing persons as well as on the promotion of the procedure, which is underway, for exhumation and identification of remains.”

According to press reports, the existence of the mass grave was first raised in a testimony made in March, 1977, three years after the Turkish invasion. The same reports say Greek Cypriots were buried by Turkish soldiers in the area, and that requests by the government for exhumations to take place in the region have met with rejection by the regime in the north.

When asked whether President Demetris Christofias would raise the issue with Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat on Thursday, Stefanou said the two leaders were discussing a number of similar issues apart from the negotiations on the Cyprus problem. He called for care and caution, noting: “There is a lot of pain on behalf of the relatives of the missing”.

Foreign Minister Marcos Kyprianou yesterday said the issue of missing persons was a humanitarian issue and should proceed as such, regardless of the course of the direct talks.

However, he underlined Turkey’s responsibilities and called on the Turkish army to allow access to its archives to help efforts to establish the fate of missing persons, especially those who were last seen in Turkey.

Even there could be mass graves of GCs in North who were killed by Sampson and his gangs before Turkey intervened.

I don't think so! Sampson only lasted 3-4 days during which he and his men were very busy trying to take control of important buildings such as RIK, the presidential palace, police stations, newspapers, etc. The total casualties (fatalities) of the coup were just under 100 and everyone involved well known by all.

Unfortunately for your argument, there’s only so much a coupist can do in just 3-4 days!

First of all, exhumation is CMP's job... I don't think any GC official is that stupid to ask exhumation of the alleged place while exhumations r done by CMP.

Yes, Oracle. Finally u worked it out. It is being investigated. Let's follow the news... and not use them for propaganda purposes.

Sampson arrested a few hundred people, had them executed and then moved the bodies to Lapithos and buried them there inorder to discredit the Turks who would be invading a week later. Now that takes some prize in thinking things through!

We had relatives arrested during the coup, some are very close relatives, and we know what happened during the coup and where. The heaviest fighting was around the CYBC building and police HQ. ALso major fights took place in Limassol police station and Paphos. There was no serious fighting in Larnaca or Famagusta. A friend was wounded at Limassol, it was tragic at the time but it is funny because he was shot in the buttock, just like Forest Gump.

Anyhow, DNA testing will show who is buried in these mass graves and all nonsense will be finished. These were soldiers and civilians from the Kyrenia area.

There is also information that a massacre of prisoners happened near Famagusta in a bombed national guard camp and they were buried in a mass grave there.
