The Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP) wishes to express its deep appreciation to the European Union (EU) for its financial contribution of €2.6 million which was received on 31 January 2024.
The CMP was established in 1981 by an agreement between the Greek Cypriot and the Turkish Cypriot leaders, under the auspices of the United Nations. The CMP Project on the Exhumation, Identification and Return of Remains of Missing Persons in Cyprus became operational in 2006 and is co-funded by the European Union. Thus far, the EU has funded €38,5 million of CMP’s operations and is the Committee’s largest financial contributor.
So far, 1,044 missing persons from both Cypriot communities have been identified and returned to their families for dignified burials.
CMP relies on donor support to implement its bi-communal project that alleviates the suffering of the concerned families.
