(Famagusta Gazette) - A popular Turkish television star has revealed how he personally shot dead ten Greek Cypriot soldiers during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.
The star, Attila Alkac, made the disturbing claims while being interviewed on a television show in Turkey.
The revelations have sent public opinion in both Cyprus and Turkey reeling, in particular the actor's graphic and clear recollections have left many in shock.
The actor said he first shot dead a 19-year-old prisoner of war, then another nine POWs.
He said said since the killings he has “not been able to stand the sight of blood or eat meat.”
It is thought that he may now be called before the missing persons committee, who describe the revelations as “shocking'.
