Recognition of Women Engaged to Missing Persons from 1974
June 5, 2025
The parliament has passed a law recognizing women who were engaged to missing persons during the Turkish invasion of 1974. These women, who did not marry anyone else while waiting for their fiancés' return, will now receive official recognition from the state. The stories of Ivi and Dimitra, who waited for years to learn the fate of their loved ones, highlight the injustice they have faced. This legislative measure aims to provide support to these women.
