The Turkish Cypriot leadership called on the Greek Cypriot side to support the Missing Persons' Committee (MMP) "instead of making unfounded allegations, propaganda and leaking confidential information from the Committee and the United Nations", as it claims.
According to the Press and Information Office, Vatan reports that the T/C leadership, in a statement, claimed that the excavations should proceed without wasting valuable time and that the T/C side continues to cooperate in order for the ICRC to have access to all possible burial sites.
"As a result of this cooperation, the ICRC excavation teams were able to carry out excavations in 1,184 different sites in the TRNC, 1,105 of which were in civilian areas and 79 in military areas, as part of the work carried out in accordance with the programme launched in 2006. The number of excavations carried out by the CMP in the south is limited to 271 civilian and 2 military zones, i.e. 273 sites."
