A
SECTION OF THE TURKISH MARTYRS
CEMETERY IN LIMASOL DESTROYED (24.10.02)
A
section of the Turkish Martyrs of 1974 Cemetery in Limasol was destroyed by
the Greek Cypriots.
This
was realised when a group of the martyrs’ relatives crossed over to South
Cyprus in order to visit the martyrs cemetery. The families who could not find
the graves of their relatives conveyed the situation to the Association of
Martyrs Families and War Veterans and asked for help
to get information about their relatives.
The
Chairman of the Association Ertan Ersan, yesterday receiving the martyrs’
families, conveyed what the spouse and daughter of martyr Raşit Osman had
faced with when they went to Limasol.
Stressing
that the family faced with unpleasant situation, Ersan said that in the
graveyard where the martyrs of the 1963 events and those that followed were
present, the graves belonging to the martyrs of 1974 were unknown.
On
her behalf, Sıdıka Alcin, the spouse of martyr Rasit Osman, gave information about their visit to
Limasol and expressed that they could not find anything which was present
before 1974.
