§ 15. Mr. Raceasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations his Department has made since 20 July to the Government of Turkey concerning those Greek Cypriots who disappeared during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.
§ Mr. HurdWe do not believe that representations to the Government of Turkey would be effective. The right place to solve this distressing humanitarian problem is the intercommunal committee on missing persons, set up under United Nations auspices. We hope that a solution will be found to the procedural difficulties which have so far prevented the committee from investigating individual cases of missing persons. We have made this view known to both communities in Cyprus and to the Government of Turkey.
