Fahri Onbashi, son of Turgut Onbashi who, as he told the Turkish news agency Anatolia, was murdered in 1963 as he claimed has appealed against the Republic of Cyprus to the European Court of Human Rights, 59 years later.
Onbashi's statements to the AA were relayed by the Cypriot press and as the Press and Information Office reported in its review of the Cypriot press, one of them, the Vatan newspaper, said that Onbashi referred to the killing of his father along with three Turkish Cypriots at Strovolos in 1963 and said that he submitted the evidence to the Committee of Missing Persons in 2013.
According to Onbasi, his wish was to appeal to the Republic's courts but obstacles arose.
"After the rejection of his appeal by the judiciary in the Republic of Cyprus on 2 June 2022, the file of the Prosecutor's Office of the Republic was referred to the ECHR," it said.
Onbashi expressed his disappointment that his appeal to the Cypriot courts was not concluded.
