NICOSIA - Collective action and unity of forces are essential for ridding Cyprus of the occupation, reuniting the country and securing the implementation of human rights, Minister of Commerce, Industry and Tourism Antonis Paschalides said on Wednesday, speaking on behalf of President of the Republic Demetris Christofias at the funeral of the mortal remains of reserve soldier Adamos Adamou, at St. Raphael’s church in Xylotympou.

“Thirty six years after the big tragedy of July 1974, Cypriot people continue to feel its impact,” he said, adding that “the humanitarian problem of missing persons constitutes one of the most tragic facets of the Cypriot drama.”

Adamos Adamou, who in 1974 was 29 years old, was a successful mechanical engineer and was living with his expecting wife and two daughters. During the Turkish invasion, Adamos was serving as a reserve officer at the 229 Battalion Infantry, which in August 14 was moved to the area of Trachoni Kythreas.

After a hard and unequal fight, a retreat was ordered and his whereabouts remained unknown ever since. His mortal remains were discovered in 2007, at a collective grave located in the area of the Turkish Cypriot village of Agia.

Paschalides paid his respects to the relatives of the missing persons and assured them that the government will continue its decisive efforts to determine the fate of their beloved persons.

Addressing the relatives of Adamos, the Minister wished them to find solace in the knowledge that “our people and the state retain his memory in their hearts and mind for ever.”

Remains of thirteen Turkish Cypriots who were executed by Greek Cypriot armed groups after they were taken as prisoners in Alaminyo village on July 20, 1974, will be laid to rest with a military funeral on Thursday.

Bones of the thirteen victims were discovered in a road-side mass grave and identified by the autonomous Cyprus Missing Persons Committee, which predicts that 2 more Turkish Cypriots remain buried at the same site.

We can make this into a missing persons thread. Any updates on the remains of Greek Cypriots recently discovered in occupied Mesaoria?

What is this, some kind of morbid tit for tat? Grow up all of you.

What is wrong with someone else balancing out the propaganda?

Aren't you going to answer Shah? He stated that there was nothing wrong in balancing out propaganda. Is that what i posted? Propaganda? Would you act in the same manner in a thread that talked about TC deaths? But its ok for these twits? This Amerikanaki doesn't give a shit about political correctness. I do not care what others think of me nor am i here to make friends. Don't tell me to grow up, i assure you I AM grown with fully grown BIG hands.

Shah, i am going to speak with my chest and like the bitch you are, i will let you have the last word. You are as backward as that shithole you call "trnc". Understand me? The purpose of this thread was to honor a fallen soldier of Cyprus. He served his country and fell for his country fighting the invading Turkish army. I assure you that i am not posting propaganda. I have great admiration for him as my father fought for Cyprus in 74 as well. So, if you have nothing positive to say for this individual then i suggest you SHUT THE FUCK UP. Thank you.

I was actually talking to Nikitas, but yeah thanks for showing your real colors Lit.

I always thought you were a piece of shit, not because you talk much, because you don't, but because of your deliberate choice of articles, is what I call propaganda.

An entire nation of people can be led simply by the choices of news from bias media groups, you are obviously too thick to know that.

If this guy really cared about his country then he should have shot racist arseholes like you, then Turkey could never have come.

Clearly you have not learned anything from what we have been through.

Those that die for the defence of their country are heroes. Heroes in anyones book.

Its a pity that many innocent non-arms bearer innocents were also killed needlessly.

It is only the decent thing that we acknowledge them and put them to rest.

We are all guilty. Lets leave it at that.
