His position for the establishment of a "Truth Commission" for Cyprus in Nelson Mandela's South African model was reiterated by Presidential candidate Achilleas Demetriades in a debate held yesterday.
According to a statement, the debate was also attended by journalist Sotiris Paroutis, who elaborated on his own experiences gained through his journalistic activity, with particular reference to his recent revelations about 1964 at the OMEGA television station.
Achilleas Dimitriadis proposed that the terms of reference of the Committee of Inquiry on the Missing Persons (CMP) be amended to evolve into a "Truth Committee" along the lines of "Truth, Repentance, Amnesty" and said that relatives have the inalienable right to know about the fate of their loved ones, adding that the aim is not to punish but to establish the truth in the hope that better days will come to Cyprus.
