We are looking for missing Turkish Cypriots since 1963 and missing Greek Cypriots since 1974. We’re trying to figure out what their stories are and find out what’s happened to them. One of the reasons we come here is to tell you what we did, and to collect information about the missing persons from the British Cypriots. This is a common problem in both communities. Our aim is not only to help find missing persons, but also to work for peace for a better life in Cyprus. We can do this only by going back in Cyprus history, understanding each other’s sufferings and avoiding the tyranny of each other. ”
