Turkey, acting on its own, occupied the northern 37 percent of the island and expelled 125,000 Greek Cypriots from their homes and villages. The Turkish occupied area of Cyprus is unrecognized by the rest of the world.

1691 Greek-Cypriots remain missing.


The Tampa Tribune, July 2, 1995, Sunday, Pg. 6

American man yearns to know fate of son missing in Cyprus

Seven years ago Costas Kassapis went to Washington to testify before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus. Kassapis had been an American citizen for 29 years at the time of his testimony in April 1988. In a voice choked with emotion, he explained that in 1974 he was visiting his native island of Cyprus with his 17-year-old son, Andrew.

It was summer and Costas wanted his American-born son to see the land of his father's birth and to meet his many Cypriot relatives during his summer vacation. Straining to keep his tears in check, he went on to say that he had not seen Andrew since that time.

Now, 21 years after that fateful visit, Andrew Kassapis and four other American citizens of Greek-Cypriot descent are still numbered among the 1619 "disappeared" persons who were taken prisoner when Turkey invaded the island in July and August of 1974. These five Americans have been identified as Kyriacos Leondiou, Chris Livertos, Socrates Kapsouris, Kyriacos Sophocleous and Andrew Kassapis, who, if alive, would now be 38 years old.

Andrew's Kafkaesque nightmare began on Aug. 20, 1974, when Turkish soldiers dragged him from his family's home for no apparent reason. The last thing his father was able to do for him was to press his American passport into his hands as he was being led away. Since that day, Costas Kassapis has not been able to get an answer to this simple question: Is my son Andrew alive? Nor have the relatives of the other four Americans, as well as the more than 1,600 other "missing" Cypriots (including 116 women and children) presumed to be rotting away in Turkish jails since 1974.

Ever since the invasion, the Turks have denied having any information about these "missing" persons and have said they are probably dead. "Probably" doesn't satisfy Costas Kassapis, who says: "I will never stop searching for my boy."

Kassapis blames the U.S. government for not demanding the release of his son and the four other Americans. Unfortunately, their names are not as well-known as those of Terry Anderson and William Buckley, nor has their situation enjoyed the glare of publicity that helped the Iran hostages obtain their freedom.

Kassapis wonders what U.S. reaction would have been had these Americans not been made to "disappear" by a country deemed "friendly" by American policy makers. "If communists had kidnapped my boy, America would have sent the Navy to save him. My boy is American. This country should do something."

Meanwhile, Turkey continues to deny having any knowledge at all concerning the fate of these "missing" persons, in spite of the hard evidence to the contrary, such as:

- Red Cross lists including the names of "missing" persons compiled during

visits to Turkish detention centers.

- Eyewitness accounts attesting that a large number of the "missing" were

arrested after the cessation of hostilities.

- Sworn testimonies regarding actual sightings of the "missing" in Turkish

prisons.

- Photographic evidence showing identifiable "missing" persons in the

custody of Turkish troops.

- Messages smuggled out of prisons by "missing" persons after their arrest.

In Andrew Kassapis' case, the very names and whereabouts of his abductors are known.

Turkey's intransigence in defying worldwide public opinion and countless U.N. resolutions requiring that the Turks remove some 35,000 occupying troops from the northern portion of Cyprus under Turkish domination since 1974 has, by now, become legend.

This matters, of course, to Costas Kassapis because Cyprus is the land of his birth. What matters more, however, is that Turkey adhere finally to the humanitarian norms set forth in U.N., Red Cross, Amnesty International and Council of Europe resolutions deploring Turkey's behavior in refusing to account for those persons its government continues to arrogantly refer to as "missing."

It is from Sophocles' tragedy "Antigone" that we learn of the terrible consequences to humankind brought on by the failure of those in power to observe the common decencies that separate us from brutes. It is for the observance of these decencies that Costas Kassapis cries out in anguish: "If my son is dead, let me bury him. If he is alive, let me hope for his freedom. Is this too much to ask?"

1619 Greek Cypriots and Greeks are still missing

In the summer of 1974, Turkish troops invaded and occupied more than a third of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus. There are 1,619 Greek Cypriots and mainland Greeks who were taken as prisoners of war, and are still missing; among them, there is a large number of civilians including women and children. Despite appeals to the Turkish government and to other International Organizations, and contrary to International Law and Human Rights Conventions, Turkey refuses to provide any information about their fate.

There is hard and indisputable evidence establishing, beyond any doubt, that the disappeared persons were alive and well at the time of their arrest by the Turkish army. This evidence is founded on:

Eye witness accounts and sworn testimonies stating that a large number of the missing were arrested by Turkish military personnel after the cessation of hostilities,
Sighting in captivity in mainland Turkish prisons and other detention centers in the occupied part of Cyprus,
Photographic evidence from the Turkish and international press showing clearly identifiable missing persons in the custody of Turkish troops both in Cyprus and in mainland Turkish jails,
Messages from missing persons which were broadcasted by Turkish radio after their arrest,
Red Cross lists including the names of missing persons compiled during visits in Turkish detention centers.

Doesn't this sort of faecal matter in red make you sick? Doesn't it want you to throw up in disgust? Doesn't it shame you?

There is no other side of the story. Is there another side of the story of the Holocaust? Is there another side of the story for the Palestinian Genocide? Is there another story for the annihilation of the Turks in Crete? Is there another story of the annihilation of the Turks in the Peloponnese?

I still can't understand how greeks ( and chase) can speak againist other nations (like Turks) by ignoring their BLOODY history ?
- They ignore the massacres from 1950s till 1970s .
- They ignore the slaughters and butchery in Aegean territory agasinist Turks .
- They ignore how many(lost numbers) Turkish village are destroyed by them .
Greek Style o' Slaughter :
--> They fulfill mosques with Muslim Turks and BURN it .
It is not changed !!! In late 19th century , In anatolian invasion , in enosis- roum cheauvenism thought . You are the same and eternally not about to shut it up .
SUMMATION : You and Your bloody history can never been illuminated !!! First clean your garden then look @ ours .

[HBK]

And I don't understand how the Turks can ignore or lie about their bloody history.

They ignore or lie about the Turkish slaughters of Kurds from 1923.

They ignore or lie about the Turkish attempts at total destruction (cultural genocide) of Kurdish culture.

They ignore or lie about Turkish atrocities since the 1980 coup.

They ignore or lie about the "disappearances," extrajudicial murders, impunity by Turkish security forces, torture and rape under detention by Turkish security forces, ethnic cleansing, destruction of Kurdish villages, etc, etc, ad nauseum.

They ignore or lie about how many caves they filled with Kurdish villagers and then set the entrances on fire so they were suffocated en masse.

They ignore or lie about how they shoot a Kurdish father and his 12-year-old son in the backs, in cold blood.

They ignore or lie about how they allowed Kurdish children to die of bird flu.

And yet they go and WHORE themselves to the West as the eternal VICTIMS of big, bad KURDS.

YOU and YOUR bloody history of genocide WILL be illuminated for the entire world to see.

TSK OUT of Kurdistan NOW.

[Mordoth]

ROFLMAO LMAO
no document from an ignorant 1 ... no proof ...etc enough We are discussin' Cyprus and you are defending greek who raped your bros' mummies and tortured your bros ? You are actually an assimilated Kurdoropean .

[Iranian]

Sorry to break your heart, Heart Break Kid but if you dont like Turkey then move.

[concheet]

It certainly is difficult to ascertain who is massacring whom.

I guess the only way to figure it out is to look and see which country is most militant, Greece or Turkey?

[Mordoth]

yeah concheet ,
You might have so many logically based(!)questions . And i 'll reply you with a question " Who bought Eurofighters for 23 billion Euros ? Who confirmed the treaty ? Who armed the peace - zones of 12 isles of Aegean ? "
