A lot of work needs to be done to bring the missing persons issue back to its proper dimension, Presidential Commissioner Photis Photiou said on Thursday, noting that it is a humanitarian and not political issue.
Speaking at the International Coordinating Committee – Justice for Cyprus (PSEKA), conference, in the framework of the World Conference of Overseas Cypriots that is taking place in Limassol, Photiou thanked overseas Cypriots for promoting the humanitarian problem of the missing people and urged them to continue their efforts so that Turkey finally cooperates.
The goal, he said, is to make the world and the new generation abroad as well as foreign decision making centers, aware of the problem.
“It is not possible 48 years later to still have missing persons, this is unacceptable,” he stressed.
Photiou said that the international community has double standards, since it does not react at the same manner in the case of Cyprus as it does in the case of Ukraine.
