Site probed for 200 missing
NICOSIA: Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) is carrying a new search on land in northern Nicosia after fresh information was received about the possibility that 200 missing Greek Cypriots may be buried there.
Excavations were carried out in the area of Trachoni two years ago but to no avail. However, now an elderly Turkish Cypriot has come up with new information.
The excavation began about six weeks ago but so far found no remains have been found
The 85 year old Turkish Cypriot says that 200 were buried in the area although a dirt road that existed at the time may now be covered by vegetation.
Digging will continue.
If remains are found it may be the largest mass grave of the invasion.
