Relatives of the victims of an air crash, in 2005, that killed all 121 persons on board, will light on Saturday night candles in memory of their beloved ones, while they are still waiting for a court’s decision on the Helios Airways flight 522 tragedy in Greece on 14 August 2005.
The ceremonies in Nicosia, Limassol and Larnaka will mark the sixth anniversary of the fatal airplane crash.
However, six years after the tragic incident, the relatives are still waiting for the court’s final decision, casting doubts on whether the ones carrying the responsibility for the plane crash will be punished.

“We have been waiting for six years, we follow the processes in court but we are not happy, we`re not optimistic,“ he said.
