Claims of 80 Beheaded Greek Cypriots in 1963 and a Well-Tomb

Yusuf Kısa, General Manager of the Yeni Bakış newspaper, revealed a testimony about a horrific massacre allegedly committed in 1963 during the intercommunal conflicts in Cyprus. According to the testimony, approximately 80 Greek Cypriots were beheaded and thrown into a well in a Cypriot village by individuals linked to the Turkish community. Kısa claims the information came from a man who confided in him before his death and asked him to publicize it. This revelation is expected to provoke strong reactions and open new discussions about Cyprus's past.
