00:00Hundreds of people are still missing in Cyprus 50 years after the Turkish invasion of 1974.
00:10The Ireland's bicommunal committee on missing persons, which is made up of both Greek and
00:15Turkish Cypriots, continues to search for these people.
00:20We are looking for our missing. It doesn't matter if we are looking for Greek or Turkish
00:24Cypriots. I mean, it doesn't matter. We are looking for ours, all of them. It belongs
00:29to Cyprus.
00:30Of the 2,000 missing people, almost half have been located, but hundreds of Greek and Turkish
00:37Cypriots are still being sought, with scientists struggling to identify the bones being discovered.
00:43And the archaeologists recovered the remains that you can see on these tables. The case
00:50was brought at the lab. Some of the bones were mixed together. We tried to associate
00:55bones together to create and complete the skeletons for each of the four individuals.
01:01Relatives of missing persons who have finally been located feel grateful and relieved. They
01:07say, for them, a deep and open wound has finally closed.
01:11But we are happy that he is found. He will come back and we shall bury him next to our
01:17mother.
01:18You are happy. It's wonderful. It's wonderful because he's coming home. He's back again.
