Together again after 52 years - Exodios Order of Fallen of the Turkish invasion and his wifetranslated

November 13, 2026 · 1 min read

With deep emotion and respect today, on behalf of the President of the Republic, Mr. Nikos Christodoulidis, the Commissioner of the Presidency, Mr. Marios Hartsiotis, attended the funeral of Kyriakos Kkoutis, who fell during the Turkish invasion of 1974, and his wife Eleni, at the Holy Church of Agios Eleftherios in Latsia. Fifty-two years after their violent separation, Kyriakos and Eleni Kkouti, who passed away a few days ago, were taken together to their last residence.

Their shocking story captures the human tragedy of the Turkish invasion, the pain of loss and the strength of families who for decades lived with the absence of their loved ones.

In his funeral speech, the Commissioner reaffirmed the Government's firm commitment to efforts to ascertain the fate of all our missing persons, stressing that the passage of time makes our debt even more compelling.

Forever the memory of Kyriakos and Eleni Kkoutis.
