Hope for Identification of Bones of 32 Soldiers
February 28, 2026
For the first time in decades, there is hope for 32 families of soldiers who went missing in 1974 and have not been identified. Their bones had undergone chemical treatment, making identification difficult. However, a successful trial identifying a femur has sparked optimism for the overall effort. The Commissioner of the Presidency has requested approval for funding the process, which is estimated to cost one million euros. The government deems it significant to push forward with the identification process.
