Kammenos promises to make classified Cyprus Archives public

During his visit in Nicosia Mr. Kammenos said that the move would shed light on the fate of the missing Cypriot soldiers during the 1974 invasion, while he thanked the Cypriot national guard and all those involved for their efforts to divulge information about the missing persons adding that it was “a national matter that concerned all”.

He said that the nation could not stay silent or conceal referring to the Greek and Cypriot missing soldiers from the battles in 1974.

“It goes without saying that the Greek Defence Ministry cannot keep secret archives of the Cypriot Defence Ministry. We conducted a meticulous job in collaboration with the Ministry’s generals. Several unit logs have been identified, that are, if you will, evidence that had up till now not been released due to their top secret nature, will be made available after consultation with the General Chief of Staff, Mr. Apostolakis and the military leaders”, he said.

The President of the Pancyprian Organisation of the Relatives of Undeclared Prisoners and Missing Persons Nikos Sergides expressed the group’s gratitude and appreciation on behalf of its members.
