    [01] Cyprus - Missing persons - Identification effort

    by Maria Myles Geneva, Nov 5 (CNA) -- Members of a team working on the process of exhumation and identification of remains of missing persons in Cyprus are currently in Greece in a bid to collect blood and information from relatives of Greek nationals missing since the 1974 Turkish invasion and occupation of 37 percent of the island's territory.

    The team, comprising among others anthropologist Dr William Haglund and psychologist Sarah Khan of the Nobel prize winning organisation "Physicians for Human Rights", will also seek to gather as much information as possible about the missing persons as well as any witness accounts of the circumstances of the disappearance.

    Nicosia, Nov 05 (CNA) - Approximately one in five marriages in Cyprus end in divorce according to the Statistical Service's demographic report for 1999 during which marriages were on the rise and the general population was also on the increase.

    The total divorce rate showing the proportion of marriages expected to end in divorce, was calculated at 208 per 1,000 marriages while in 1980 the divorce rate stood at only 42 per 1,000 marriages. The number of divorces in 1999 reached 1,193 from only 852 the previous year.
