Excavations for missing persons at occupied Trachonas to continue this week

Excavation works at the occupied village of Trachonas will be continuing this week at a different location, approximately about 70 metres west of the point  where human remains were found recently.

Nestoras Nestoros, the Greek Cypriot member at the Committee on missing persons (CMP) told CNA that the excavation works are expected to begin within the week and they will be carried out at the so called `point 2` which is west of `point 1` where human remains belonging to 20 people were found.

He also said that the Turkish Cypriot side has been requested to submit information on a third point.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
