Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides is scheduled to meet with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman to discuss the issue of excavations in alleged military zones in northern Cyprus. This meeting, which is set to take place this week, aims to address the pressing need for investigations into suspected burial sites of missing persons.
During the discussions, Christodoulides intends to emphasize the importance of allowing excavations in these so-called military areas, areas under the control of the occupation forces where excavations have reportedly been blocked in the past. He noted that current excavation efforts are taking place in various locations such as Ayia, Ascia, Gerolakkos, Lapithos, and Exo Metochi, with more sites identified for potential excavation.
The President's initiative reflects ongoing efforts to intensify search activities for missing persons in Cyprus, with the discussions also likely aiming to facilitate cooperation between the two communities on this sensitive issue. The outcome of this meeting may influence the future of excavation initiatives and the broader dialogue surrounding the topic of missing persons in Cyprus.
