He was president of many committees:
Cooperative Pancypriot Union of Carob Producers, Member
of the Cooperative Union committee of Nicosia, Member of
the Cooperative Confederation Committee and a colleague
and advisor to Andreas Azinas of the Development
Cooperative.
During the invasion he was enclaved along with other
fellow villagers. On 15 August fellow Turkish villagers
and Turks from Galateia rounded up the villagers in the
church yard and separated the men aged between 15-60.
Loukas showed them a letter from a doctor explaining
that he had a heart condition and a fellow Turkish
villager questioned why he was allowed to go free after
which he was arrested. On 21 August they
were made to lay face down and their names were called
out. Those of Loukas Kyriacou, Antonis Konis and others
from Komi Kebir were heard. From conflicting reports it
is understood Loukas died as a result of the beatings he
sustained. Other reports are that he was executed on 23
August 1974 along with other fellow villagers and buried
in a mass grave in the area Miso Mili north of Galateia
and south of Eptakomi |
