The Greek Cypriot population expressed outrage yesterday after the remains of five missing Greek soldiers were found in an abandoned well. The well is situated in Northern Cyprus, claimed by Turkey after its 1974 invasion of the island. The issue of the island's division has been among potential obstacles to Turkey's bid for EU membership, and tensions over Cyprus continue to flare up between Turkey and Greece. The internationally recognized Southern part of the Cypriot nation, inhabited mostly by Greeks, gained EU membership in 2004.
