Tufan Erhürman's Reaction to the Missing Persons Monument
October 26, 2025
The proposal to establish a monument for the missing persons in the European Parliament has sparked reactions from Tufan Erhürman, the new leader of the Turkish Cypriots. Erhürman called the decision unacceptable and argued that it highlights the erroneous practice of filling the two seats in the European Parliament with Greek Cypriots that should belong to Turkish Cypriots. He claims this prevents the truth about Cyprus from reaching the European Parliament. Erhürman stated that he will take necessary initiatives to address this issue.
