[01] ECHR - MISSING PERSONS CASE
The family of a Greek Cypriot, missing since the 1974 Turkish invasion
and recently confirmed dead, has taken legal action against Turkey at
the European Court of Human Rights.
The wife and children of Stelios Savvides Charalambous, whose remains
have been exhumed and identified in 2006, demand that Turkey is
condemned by the Court for violation of Charalambous human rights.
This is the second such application against Ankara, filed by the family
of a Greek Cypriot who was included in the long list of persons missing
since the invasion. The first case was filed by Demetris Koutras family
in 2007. Koutras was shot dead and found with two bullets in the head.

The Republic of Cyprus has decided to grant 30 thousand euros in

An official statement said here Wednesday that the assistance, which
will be conveyed through the Red Cross, aims to contribute in the
international communitys efforts to support the people of Myanmar.
Myanmar was hit by tropical cyclone Nargis over the weekend, killing at
least 22,000 people and leaving 41,000 missing.
