Greek Cypriots donate 252,000 euros to CMP

THE Greek Cypriot administration of South Cyprus has donated 252,000 euros to the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP).

The donation was made on September 5 and brings the Greek Cypriot side’s financial assistance to the CMP to a total of 3,537,700 euros since 2018.

“In 2022, these funds will support the CMP Project on the Exhumation, Identification and Return of Remains of Missing Persons in Cyprus with its goal to end the uncertainty which has affected the families for so many years,” a CMP statement said.

“So far, 1,027 missing persons from both Cypriot communities have been identified and returned to their families for dignified burials.

“[The] CMP relies on donor support to implement its bicommunal project that alleviates the suffering of the concerned families. The European Union is the main financial contributor of CMP.”
