Turkish actor confesses the killing of ten Greek Cypriots during 1974 invasion

Turkish actor Attila Olgac confessed yesterday the killing of ten Greek Cypriots during the 1974 Turkish invasion to Cyprus, which resulted to the occupation of the island's northern third.
''I killed ten people,'' Olgac said in a shocking revelation to Turkish channel Star TV.
Olgac, who served in the Turkish army during the invasion, added that the first person he killed ''was a 19-year old prisoner of war.''
''I shot him at the forehead and he died,'' he said in a shocking revelation.
Olgac, who stars a well-known TV series ''The valley of the wolves,'' said that after he killed the Greek Cypriot soldier he killed ''nine more.'' However, he did not clarify whether the other nine killings were against prisoners or during a battle.
Hundreds of Greek Cypriots have been missing since 1974.
To date, the remains of over 466 individuals have been exhumed while 110 have been identified and returned to the families concerned. Additional missing persons will be identified and their remains returned to their families early in the coming year.
Article 13, of the Geneva Convention, stipulates that ''prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful act or omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited, and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention.''
