On 11 May, 1964, six Turkish Cypriots were kidnapped from work, home etc., taken to a place called Protaras, near Famagusta in Cyprus. They were shot dead and buried in a well. Their families waited for decades. They had children, little babies, who do not remember their fathers. After 43 years their bones were found. After DNA tests, identified and given to their families. One of those daughters who was 7 months old at the time happens to be my best friend. I was at the funeral this morning.
I believe Tasos Papadopoulos knew all about this and was at least partly responsible for it. Does he feel any pain or guilt?
Similar events are taking place on both sides of Cyprus. Isn't it enough that people have suffered such pain? When are we going to learn to live together?
