Remains of Greek officer handed over to relatives 46 years after the Turkish invasion in Cyprus

The remains of Georgios Katsanis, a Greek commander who was killed in Cyprus during the 1974 Turkish invasion, were handed over to his relatives today, following a religious ceremony, in Nicosia, which was attended by the country’s political and military leadership.
 
The remains of Katsanis were located in 2017 by the Committee of Missing Persons (CMP), along with seven other officers, in a mass grave in the area close to St. Hilarion castle and Bellapais, in the northern, Turkish-occupied part of Cyprus.
