CYPRUS-UN-MISSING-FUNERAL
A grieving Turkish Cypriot woman (C) weeps, 12 July 2007, over the coffin of her loved one, draped in the flags of both Turkey and the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), as members of the Turkish Cypriot defence force stand to attention during a mass funeral for the first identified Turkish Cypriot 'missing' held in Turkish-held northern Nicosia, the capital of the self-declared TRNC. Turkish Cypriots, some weeping and wailing, laid to rest today 13 men killed in violence during Turkey's 1974 invasion of northern Cyprus, in the first such mass burial of people who have been missing for at least three decades. Scores attended the unprecedented ceremony in Turkish-held northern Nicosia for the men, the first identified among hundreds of people missing since the 1974 invasion and more than a decade of intercommunal strife that preceded it.
