[01] Missing - Exhumations - Service
Nicosia, Nov 6 (CNA) -- The state honoured today eight people whose remains
were exhumed in the summer as part of the process of exhumation and
identification of war dead and missing persons from the 1974 Turkish
invasion of Cyprus.
Speaking at the service Defence Minister Socrates Hasikos apologised
to the relatives of the missing and the dead because in the havoc caused by
war their loved ones were buried in unmarked mass graves without the proper
honours.
