GREECE: WERE GREEK CYPRIOTS USED BY TURKEY AS GUINEA PIGS IN WMD TESTS?!?

‘No concrete evidence’ that Turkey used missing in tests

According to news reports appearing in the South, the Head of the International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA), Gregory Copley had previously reported that Turkey had used Greek Cypriot prisoners captured in 1974 as guinea pigs for chemical weapons experiments, he said yesterday that he had “no concrete evidence” that such allegations were true. He refused to withdraw the claims that allegations existed but none of the allegations had been confirmed. These unsupported allegations are apparently being taken seriously by Greek Cypriot officials, and prompted Cypriot Minister of Foreign Affairs Lillikas to say on Monday he would be opening an enquiry into their validity. In statements at Larnaca Airport on departure for Paris where he would meet with French Minister Delegate for European Affairs Catherine Colonna, Lillikas said the government, as in various other cases, will try with all means to cross information and to verify the facts.

Called to comment on the role of Greece on the issue of missing persons, he said that according to information in 1989 there were Greek Cypriots alive in Turkey. He pointed there was always bilateral information and cooperation between the Greek andCypriot government.

So Copley makes accusations, he has no evidence to back them up and yet he does not withdraw the accusation?!? Are we missing something here?!? Does Copley know more than he is willing to disclose at this time?!?

I am quite sure that Turkey will not be forthcoming with information, after all they are still in denial about the Armenian Genocide they perpetrated in the early 20th Century and they seethe at any nation that brings up the subject...
