A formal reply to his oommunioatlon has also been sent. 6. The Counoil 1s alro aware of the pledesof voluntary finanoial oontrlbution whloh I have already reoeived from aeveral Qovernmente, whioh anour’ the requisite finanoial support for the Unlted Nations Peace-keeing Foroe in Cyprus. I am most grateful to all theme Governments for their ready andgenerous response. 7. Mr. ROSSIDES (Cyprue) : My Qovernment has arked for thie meeting because we have had one of the most serious threat.9 of invaeion of Cyprus that we have been faoed with up to this time, in the form of an offiolal note dated 19 Maroh 1984 deltvered totheGovernment of Cyprue [S/b596,Anmx] whiohperemptorlly demands that a number of things bs done lmmedlately by the Government of Cyprue, failiag whioh the TurkishGo+ ernment rays that it will exeroise it6 alleged right of intervention in the Internal affair6 of Cyprus, by foroe. 8, Thlr ir prereated In the note a8 beingunrelated to the delay in the dirpatoh of the United Natlona Foroe but as b&g related-to the aotual situation ln Cyprus, whioh the Turkirh Government ohoores to desoribe in brmr that are ao unrealirtio Pndrooontrary to the Wual foot8 as to remind one-1 am afraid I muut rry tbir , with all due rrrrpwt ,to the Ciovernmeat of Turkey -0i the unirnq#nabl~ falrehoodr uttorad by Hitler oa flkwtoo~y thrtc the grtrter the llr, the more rrrily it tnwmd, folul Only think that tlut ii the mtive of the Twkleh Government in presenting this story here -and it la on the basls of tN8 etory that the Turkish Government oluims n right to intervene in Cyprus and IS threatening to 1ntorvono In various wnys, 9. In spIk3 of this note, we might not have requested this meeting tonight were it not for the fuot that the note hns been followed by other olrcumstances whioh m&o it abundtlntly clonr thut it bus been tmd it Is the lntentlgn of ‘I’urltcy to Inundu Cyprus. I am afraid the intention WIH to Invade Cyprus tonlght. If 11 is not in Cyprus, where the people are interepersed, 80 that, in order to oreate partition in that small island, the population would have to be ehifted by foroe, with all the misery that that would ectail. And then, after partition, there would inevitably be a greater struggle, inoreaeed hatred, deeper divieion and more bloodehed, reeulting In a greater threat to the peaoe of the ieland, the relations between Greeoc, and Turkey, and the eituation In the Mediterranean, 11. Therefore, it ha8 been realieed-quite rightlythat partition oannot be aohieved. Indeed, the resolution [S/6574] g adopted by the Seourity Counoil[ 1102nd meeting] makes thie abundantly olear. 12, I ehall naw give an aooount of what happened after the adoption of the resolution by the Seourity Counoil, in order to show what is behind these move6 of the Turklrh Government, itr deolarationr, itr aotionethrough ltr ageSto in Cyprur, rlnoe the adoption of the re8olution. and thir latent move, which har brought member@ oi the Counoil here this evening, 13. After ieeuing the note, tha Prime Mini&r of Turkey addreared a party meeting and raid, a8 reported by Reuters, that he would wait untiltoni~ht and that “if bur oondiMons procluoe no reaotion am&g the Qreeks of the irland. I will make a landitlp~. Thue. not to have aeked for the oonvening of a n%ting 02 the Counoil tonight would have oonrtituted a tremendous responribility for the Qovernment of Cypr~a and for me, a8 itr repreoentative. We could not have failed to ask for suohh meeting this evening in the faoe of explioit threat8 of the use of foroe against Cyprus and in view of the terrible oonrequenoea of ruoh Potion: the blood#hed, the fighting and ao forth, I OM tell the Seourity Counoil that every Cypriot who ir a Cypriot will at this moment fight for the territorial integr1t.y of hir oountry to the lart man, The Government ir determined to proteot the f&pity of Cyprus, whioh, throughout itr long history of 4,000 yearn, har been a ringle unit, Gouvernement de Chypre, et moi-meme, qui en auis le reprbBeentant, aurions araum4 une 6norme rerponsabllitb.

I should like to mention anoiher faotor whioh has tnade this meeting neoessary. I have had a telephonio oommuniontion with the Aotlng Foreign Minister of Cyprus, Mrs. Soulioti, who said that, in reply to the Turkleh note, she had delivered n note from the Government of Cyprus to the Government of Turkey. The Ambnssudor of Turkey in Cyprus would not take the note. She therefore read it out to Mm, hut. having heard it, he &ill refused to aooopt It. These high- 15.

L’Amhassadeur de Turquie h Chypre u refus6 d’nccepter cetle note. Mme Soulioti lui cn n n6nnmoins donnB lecture, 17, What arethefaots?Thbdefaots have beenrepca’ted by oorrespondents in Cyprus of the United States Presb, _ whioh oannot be regarded as biased in favour of the Cypriot view. The faots, as they have been reported, are these: for hvo days after the adoptionof the resolutlon, oalm prevailed. The time was used in giving different interpretations of the resolution, Cyprus saying that it entirely upheld the prinoiples for whioh Cyprur rbod, and Turkey saying: aYor, but 1t also ensures what Turkey wants.” Everyone seemed quite satisfied, But what happened on the third day-that Is, on Saturday7 We heard from the Foreign Mtnlrter of Turkey-and thir was quite oontrary to the spirit of the resolution-that the only solution of the problem of Cyp~a would be partition and federation, by the rhifting of populatlonr; he added that no other oolutlon was aooeptable. Am I have oald, this is oontrary to tbe wholo concept of the Seourlty Ccnmoil resolution, which calls for the appointment of a mediator to mediate between the ti+% rider and find a solution. The Turkirh Government by saying: *We want federation through the shifting of populations” wanted to prooludo any negotiation, any mediatton. 18, At thtlr point I should like to olarify the meaning of Y&ration” and “partitiona. aFederatlonm is used in tbir cane beoause it sounds better than apartitionnt but it mean0 oxaotly the aamo thing. In ite proper rrnae, federation irr a unifying movement, a pooitlvo movement, For inrtanoe, in Switzerland the oantonr woro origlnaliy Merent Staten, with oomplotely &ftment Qbrwrr. wi Aioles, ogposod to oeoh othor and at timer ?i oaoh OtluPl eventually, aa the world doirp&prd krwudr poooe and underrt@ding, they united and -formed a federation. That 1s quite &ffer&t from forcing the people of an Island, who are Interspersed and have been living togethar almost everywhere, to olltit and form different prrrts of that island, to breuk it up into different unlts and than saying; *L,et us now federate.@ Touse R rough simile, it IR like the difference between tuklng two vases and Joi:lIng them together, wbloh 15 federation; and taking one vase, broakhg It into two plocos and then saying; nNow thut we huve broken the VUYO, lel lis federate it.” 17.

They now say that the Cyprus Government has proceeded to a massaore of the Turks. But what happened? For two days all was quiet, On the third day there was a premeditated attaok by Turkish elemente-Turkish terrorlete-in Paphoe, an attack by machine-gune and heavy weapons, with firing from the top of a minaret against tha population who on a Saturday were lnnooently making their purchases for the week-end, This attaok resulted in the killing of #even Greeke, the wounding of thirty-eight and the carrying-away a8 hostages of over 200, with no oaeualtler on the part of the Turk8 and no retaliation whateoever on that oooarion against the Turks. 21. TN8 was not even an attaok, it was not even a olaeh between fightera. Itwae a murderoueunprovoked attack, by those who now olalm to be the viotlms. It was an attaok after the paoifylng effeot of the resolution of 4 Maroh, an attaok in whloh-I repeat-seven Qreeks were killed and thirty-eight were wounded, with over 200 oarried away an hostages without any provocation or retaliation on their part. 22. I would take this oooaaion to say how regrettable, how ead it was to see a saoredplaoe Iike the minaret of a mosque, a plaoe revered and respeoted by alI re- 22. A cette oooaalon, je voudrale dire comblen 11 eat trlste et regrettable qu’un lieu aussl saord que le minaret d’une moequ&e, r&&r&e et rerpeotbe par toue, quelle que coit leur religion, paroe qu’il e’agit d’un monument Brig6 h la gIoire de Dieu, ait gte utllls6 non pas pour eervlr Dieu, malr pour tuer de8 gtres humainr.

I have just now hoard from a very rospucted friend asking why the Government of Cyprus has not aoted to restore law nndorder in Cyprus. I quite agree wlth him: It is the duty of the Government of Cyprus to restore luw and order. I’llis IS part of tho resolution of the Security Counoil of 4 March 1964, whloh III Its seoond operative paragraph 23. Un ami pour leyuel j’~l beaucoup de respect vient de demander pourquol le Gouvernement de Chypre n’ovolt rien fult pour rsstaurer I’ordre B Chypre. Je auis nbsolumont d’ucaord nvec 1111: c’est le dcvolr du Gouvernement chyprlote de restaurer l’ordre. Celn est cl’aillturs @vu dans In r6solutlon odoptbe 1s 4 mars pnr le Con&l de s6curit6, qui nu paragruphe 2 du dlsposltlf: wAslts the Government of Cyprus, which hus the rcsponslbillty for the mnintenanoe und restoration “Deniancle au Gouvernement chyprlote, qui est respononble du malntlen et du r6toblissement de 26. So if psrfeot law and order does not exist,, it is due to the faot that the Government of Cyprus has not been able to use all its foroes to seoure law and order due to the oiroumstanoes; and we hope thatwhen the United Nations foroes arrive there, it will be easier and more DOadble for the Government of Cyprus, with the a&sianoe and oontribution of the United Nations forces, to establish peaoe and order in aooordsnoe with its responslbilities. 26. Now, oan this be oalled a massacre? We might well oall it a massaore, but a massaore of the Greeks in Cyprus by the Turks, Rather, let me oorreot myeeli, I should not say “by the Turks” of Cyprus, beoause we reepsot the Turks of Cyprus and oonslder lhem a part of the population. I should say that It was a massaors by extremist elements who have, for the time being, the upper hand among the Turklshpopulation of Cyprus and who, acting on instl,,* Jon from outside-and I need not mention where the - :igatfon oomes from; it Is quite clear-are doing the<Je things in this way In order to promote the idea of partition, 27, The next thing that may have given Turkey the right or provided it with the osueeof sending this note and of threateninrrto intervene in Cyorus was that there wae trouble at %lallia, a villagiin the distriot of Llmarrol at some diatanoe from Paphos. There was oome trouble and the aeourity foroea intervened, They disarmed all the people in the village without bloodabed-only two were allgbtly wounded-and .?eaoe and quiet was re-eatubliahed at Mallia, And at Kaaaphani, the Turk8 there who had been preparing to fight gave us their erme, and they were dioarmed without any I . ourely, ihe dlrarming of the paople and of= ttrc) jmpk to Witrsg @eul arms ir t should Owe anyone dtrpbrsure~ on aot that they had given up their arms should be a matter for satisfuotion, conslderlng that sfter the delivery of their BPI;IS there was complete calm. 2fl. These, thercforc, arc the events that have taken place In Cyprus 8iIJCe the paLMing of the IW4OlU~iOn of 4 Mnroh 1964, events rosultlng, as I have snld, in oasunltit the Greeks alrd not to the Turks. Yet we get this I,,~JI* which tells noomI~letely different story, a story ubout “mnssacron and ~Lellmination~, wlthout, of course, monlionlng any figures or places but using just vnguo words which mny im&rcss those who are uninformed ns to the situution. 27. Quell-s autre raison auruit pu donner h 1aTurquio le droit de d6oIder d’envoyer oette note et de menacer d’intervenlr h Chypre? Lee inoidents qui se sont dBroulbs B Mallia, un village dana larbglon de Llmassol non loin de Paphos? Dee troubles ont &clot& et lea foroes de 66ourit8 sont intervenues.

JO. Well, that failed in the end beoause they did not manage to divide the town. The objective was to fight and dIvIde the town into two so that when the United Nations oame there lhey might find a divided Paphos as well ae a divided Nicosia, After they had failed to divide Limassol, they tried todo scmothings:sowhere. That failed hoouuse the people no longer wished to fight, and then they had to do something dynamic to bring about trouble and invade the island, So that IS the purpose of this whole story: to open the way to I,l;;.p, as may be seen from what I have already 31. Now the Turkish Government saya that it has a right to intervene in Cyprus under the Treaty of Guarantee. Thls is a matter which must he examined a little more closely because it is fundamental to the whole problem, The Treaty of Quarantoe, whioh1 have before me, first of all guarantees the territorial integrity and independence of Cyprus and the basio artioles of the Constitution. Therefore, any intorvontion-and I leave aside for the time being the question whether intervention should bo by force or by peaceful means-should he where there is a violation of the artioles of this Treaty. In the present case of Cyprus there has been no violation of rho independence and integrity of Cyprus other than by Turkey, Sc Turkey could not inrervono to proloot the indopendonoo and Integrity of Cyprus, which it is threatening to do, And there has hoon no violation of the Constitution whatsoever, and I challenge anyone to say that there hau hoon. 33. What the President proposed wao talks inordor to amend those provieions of the Constitutionwhiohwere unworkable and divlsivo. Thus there IO no ground for intorvoning under the Treaty of Guarantee, What I want to make olear 1s that under the Treaty of Quarantoo there are only two grounds whioh would allow intorvontiont a throat against tho territorial integrity and indepondenoe-of w&oh thkire 10 none apart from Turkey, and a violation of the Conotitution-of whioh tkoro ir nono, Turkey ha@ ueld. t&t it ir entitbd to Iritimne up&r the mu&y of C#wMeu h erdor. to W p” the Turkleh minority in 0 CU& I krve actdo or the time being whether the e % eats of Turkey’8 intervention or Turlct!yb interforenoo in Cyprus hnve really bceu the proteotlcn or the deetructicn of the Turkish minority, but I would sny thnt in this Treaty no right of intorvontion by virluo of prctootir~g any section of the poln~lntion is p;rnntecl. <SO if Turkey clulms the right to Intarvono for the prctoctlcn of the tnincrlty under the Tronty of GunrnntBe, it is working ctt the wrong prumiae.

I ooms now to the next point; to show that there is no legality whatsoever in the claim of Turkey to intervene in Cyprus, Artiole IV of the Treaty of Guaranteev olearly states that: “In the event of a breach of the provisions of the present Treaty”-1 have already said what the provisions are-the three , _. 33, J’en arrive maintenant au point sulvant, B savoir montrer que les revendlcatlons par la Turqule de son drolt d’lntervenlr B Chypre ne reposent sur aucun fondement jurldlque. Sur ce point, 11 y a l’article IV du Trait6 de garantieu, qul dispose t&s nettement que, “en cas de violation des disposltione _ guarantors wundertake to consult together*. Wlth a : du present ‘l’ralt6” view to what? With a View to m&king nrepresentations” ! ces dispositions -, - J’ai deja dlt quelles staient les trois Puissances garantee or taking nmeasures necessary to ensure observanoo : “s’engagent h se concerter”. En vue de quci? En of those provisionsw. Therefore, any rlght of iaterventlon would be to make %epresentationsn or take vue “des dbmarches ou mesures n&cessalres* pour ameusurw necwseary to enuure observanct! of those assurer l’observation de oes dispositions, Par oonstjprovIaions~, namely, respect for the territorial in- : quent, tout drolt d’intervention conslsteralt B faire “de8 dbmarches” ou B prendreles “mesures nbcestegrlty and independence, and for t4e Constitution, : saires” Then the Treaty says: In so far as oommon or con- ; pour assurer l’observatlon de oes dlspooerted action may not prove possIblen sitlons, h 3avolr le respect de ltint6gr1t6 territorlale -now the word I ou de l’ind4pendance de Chypre, alnsl que de sa *aotionn here refers to what was stated before. What a Is the aotion? The aotlon is the ‘representations” or I pas possible”; le mot “action” se rap&te~ a ce qui a 6th declare auoaravant. De ouelle acUon stagitthe taking of the “measures neoessary”. That is the aotlon and nothing else. In oase this aotion cannot be obtained by concert, then “eachof the three guaranteeing Powers reserves the right to take aotion with the sole aim of re-establishing tha state of affairs created by the present Treaty”. So the unilateralaotion oannot be different from the oonoerted action,whioh is to make representations or to take the neoessary measures. 34, Now th6Se representations or measures cannot be but by peaceful means. That is the proper interpretution, partioularly a8 the Charter makes it olear that the obligation Of-Member States Is to respect the territorial integrity and independenoe of other States under Artlole 2,-paiagraph 4; Therefore, by vl.rtue of that Artiole, they are not entitled to intervene in Cyprus by foroe, It it is to be interpreted In the proper way, But if they are to interpret it in any other way-as for exsmple interpreting artlole IV of the Treaty as giving them the right to intervene by force-then that artiole would itself become void under the Char&r, by virtue of Arttole 108 ~?f the Charter, whioh spsoifioally providss that the obligstione of Membr States under the Water prerrtl over their sbll atlons under any other @qa+nhl agrmmont-like de TreatydOuaranm, 35. Eurthermore-and here is what I would like to emphasize-beyond these considerations whioh are very clear, the International Court of Justicu is not required to look into these matters booause we have the Charter. If in order to Interpret any Article of the Charter, such as Article 103, we had to go to the InternatIonal Court of Justice, thbn we would have to be there every day because there is not a duy that we do not have to interpret clear provisions of the Churler. This Is the clearest possible provision cf the constitution. Le Trait6 dit ensulte: “Dane 18 mesure ob une action commune ou concert&e ne s1av4reralt done? L’aotlon 6onslste en de; Id6marches” ou en l’adoptlon des amesures n(1oessaires@ et en rlen d’autre. Dans la mesure oh une action oommune ou oonoertde ne s’av4reralt pas possible, “ohaouns des trofr Puissances garantes se r4serve le droit d’agir dans le but exolusif du rdtabllssemant de l’ov.lre or46 par le prdsent Tralt6”. Ainsi, l’aotion unllat6rale no psut pan &tre diff6rente de ltactlonoonoert4e, laquelle oonslste B faire des d4marches ou ?I prendre les mesures n&essaires. 34. Mais oes demarohes ou ces mesures ne peuvent &re entreprlses que par des moyens paolfiques. Telle est l’lnterpr&atlon correote du Trait& d’autant que la Charte dispose clairement, au paragrnphe 4 de 1’Artlcle 2, que les Etats Membres ont l’obligation de respeoter l’int6grlt6 territorlale et ltlnd8pendance des autres Etate. Par oons&quent, d’aprbs oet artiole, la Turqule n’a paa le drolt d’intervenir ?4 Chypre par la foroe, al elle interprbte oomme 11 oonvlent ses dlsposltions, Mais sl elle veut leur donner une autre interprbtation, qul lui oonf&reralt le droit d’intervenir par la foroe, alors l’artlole XV du TraAt6 de garantie serait nut aux termes de 1’Artiole 103 de Is Charte, qui spQoiffs que ler obllf @lonr aorumbes par lee Etatrr Memhres en vertu gta ahme pr&talent aur tea oblt~atjonr qiri Iair Ikiiiombetii *fi vwtu iii tout autre ao6otiinteuatiwl, 6omme par exemple le Trait6 de garantfe. 35. De plus - et je tiens h lo soullgner avec force -, au-deltc de ces considbratlons qul sont tout h fait clalres, 11 n’est pas nbccssaire de demander h la Cour internationals de Justice son avis en la matlbro, parce que la Charte est lh. Sl, cn vue d’interprber un article quelconque de la Charte, 1’Article 103 par exemple, nous devons saislr la Cour internat\oride de Justice, nous serons obllgbs de nous adresser tow 10s Jours h elle, pnrce que, chaque jour, nous sommes appelbs h ihterpr&er de8 dlsposltlotis 86. Then we oome to the Se&rity Counoil resolution of 4 Maroh 1964 whioh m&es that abundantly olear. It rafers to the positions taken by the parties in J ~Iation to the Treaty eigned at Nloosia on 16 August 1960. What were the poeitions taken? The position taken by Cyprus wss that this Treaty oannot be interpreted aa giving the right of intarventlon by foroe. The resolution then prooeeds to say the following: “Havin in mind the relevant”-relevant to the imme& preaediny paragraph, the Treaty of auarantee--“provisions of the Charter of theUnitedNations and iis Article 9, paragraph 4, wbioh reads: ‘All Members shall refrtiln in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or politloal independenoe of any state, or in any other manner lnoonristent with the Purposes of the United Nationsl, “1.

This letter to the SeoretarPQeneral is in itself a violation of the Charter , a viol&on of the resolution and an indioation of disrerpeot for the Seourity Counoil. I OM oall it &hin# lur thin that, and unlasr a olearer warning than thlr is given to the Qovwnment of Turkey, I am afraid that we #ball be ooming here again to oomplain cd threatr of invarion agalnrt Cyprus, if not aotual lnvarlon, 88.

And1 wouldoallthe attentionof the Security Counoi!. to the ‘faot that although Cyprue is small and appears ineignifioant on the map, it has eg.ual rights with every other Stat8 Member of the United Nations.

The reperousa!.ons of ruoh a policy would be felt not only by the small Staten, but by all Member8 of thie Organization. 43. We put our trurt in the United Nations and in the Seourity COuncii. In faot, we have observed that the dieouaaion in the Seourity Counoil has already introduoed a new olimate, new Idrae; it has pointed to what ir right. That ir probably Turkey’s oonoern and what ha8 brought about there erratio, apuamodio moves whioh have followed the adoption of the reeolution of 4 March, 43, 1 M very happy to have heard from the Seoretary- General that arrangements for a peaoe-keeping foroe Ise prooreding ratiriaotorily, and it ir hoped that we r&all soon have that foroe on the island.

I donotwlshtodirouartheother porsible eolution. We rule it out of our mind8 beoouee we oonelder It negative. I refer to the eolution to the effeot that one of the two oommunities would leave the Irlmd, on the assumption that they were not able to ooexlet. This in something whIoh we do not believe, beoaure they have lived in peaoe and amity over the oenturien. It ir only during the lart eight yearn that the quertion of partitlon hra arisen and the polioy of oampaigning for parritlon In the irland haa orrated the clivirion. We believe that they OM live together. But if the ohauvinists and extremists and three who agitate for partition were to win the upper hand among the Turks and inelet that ooexiatenoe was ImposeIble, then the only solution would be the one 80 aptly desoribed by that wise dean of the Journalistlo oorps Walter Lippmann. He raId yerterday in the New York Herald Tribune that a solution would be that those Turk8 who feel that they oould not ooexirt In Cyprur rhould leave the irrland in order not to oauae further trouble and go baok to Turkey, and that those who wertt wiiiing to integrate ahould remain in Cyprus. But we do not oonrider that rolution to be a eatirfaotory one beoause it take8 hatred for granted, We believe that hatred 10 romethIng whioh rhould ba ruled out of our minds and we do not believe that it III not possible for any people to oompoee their differences and IIvo together, It would be oontrary to the rpirit of our time to believe that the Greek and Turkish people of Cyprus oould not live togathor, oould not co-operate ao p6rt of one and the eameoountry,having a oommon interest In the progrere of that oountry. 45. But to do that, and it would baa matter for nogotiation, we would have to amend the Conrtitition in order to make it leer divi&a and moreoo-oparative. That is what the Pm&lent of the Republio har requested, and that ir what ir ruid to have oaurmd thio trouble, 46. I Wi& to draw attintion only to two point6 from 4’1. One provided that, when the President was away, the one to deputise for him should be the Vioe-President. Although the Vioe-President is n Turk, IIke everywhere else, when the President is away, it Is the Vioe-President who deputlzes for him, and not the President of the House of Hepresentntlves, a body whioh has legislative authority and wlfoh has nothing to do with the exeoutive. This was an unomuly and it wus bcrsed on dlsorimlnntion. So the President said: “When 1 am tawny, I would hko the Vioe-President to deputixe for me, no mutter thnt he Is u Turk. We do not want disorimlnution. Let tlm be the President while I urn away.” The President Is often nwny, at times for one 47.

The other polnte were all intended to do away with divirion-divided munloipolitier,dividedoourteof jurtioe, divirion in varlour waya, divided edmlnirtration of jurtioe, divielon in the Civil !3ervloe Commierion, tie wanted to do away with divirlone and wlth d.Isoriminetion. However, although he wanted to do that, he did not interfore with the right of the Turks to have a repreoentrtlon of 30 per oent in the Legislative Aerembly, thnt 18 in the House of Repreeentativee, although tbir numerioal strength in the populetlon le only 16 per oent. That remainedunaltered. It ir wrong, but the Prerident allowed the Turka to keep it. 60. The other thing to be ebolirhed ir the right of veto wbloh ir vsrtid ln the Preeident and tbo Vioe- Pratident equally, Both would diveet tb6mrelver of thie right, whioh ir l negative power, beoeure when a deoirion of the Counoll of Minirtera or a deoree oonoernlnq foreign effrlra or defenoe WM paered&nd wee vetoed by either the Prerident or the Woe-President, there was no alte~Wv& Tb 00~ntry was left Without law, So all there divisive elementa-the divided mrforitie8 in the Hours of Reprersntativess, wbiohrenulted An tb oountry having no inoomo tax-were to be abolirhed. The abolition of there diviirrive elements would not &foot the right8 of the Turk& Therefore, the idee whioh WIO ingrnined in people, by propagwla, that the Arohbirhop was proporing to take away the rights of the Turkirh minority lr not txue.

This meeting was also oalled on the pretext of a letter wNoh I submitted to the Seoretary-General with the annexed note whioh was addressed to Arohbirhop Makarioe. This note of ro-oalled warning, whioh has been deeoribed as an ultimatum, ir not an ultimatum, It doer not oontain any urgent deoirionthat must be put into effect immediately, It only envisages oertain oonditiona, and aekr that they be obrerved in the name of human rlghte and humanitarianoonrideratione, whioh still remain among the primary dutiee of any rerponrible Government. 67, Ambaaaador Roaddes haa attempted to put ua in the porition of the aooured.

The last paragnphof the message whioh I presented to the Seoretary- Goneral this morning snys: “Jc wus scrnls oblig6 do Men vouloir, uunform6ment h 1’Artlcle 54 de la Churte, informer le Consell de s6curit6 de la 8Ituntlon et falro la “1 request Your Exoellenoy to be good enough, in aooordunoo with Artiole G4 of the Churtor,to inform tho Socurlty Counoll of the eituntlon und to take the 4 rest length, Is he willing to have en impartial faotlndlng mlssion go to Cyprus and report to the Seourity Counoil on the truth? 66.

In the note it delivered yesterday to the Qovernment of Cypnrr, the Turklrh Government threatens, thlr time ti&t beotlng about the burh, to intervene Unilaterally in Cyprus, The reason given to justify tbir threat Is--or Turkey sees it-to proteat the Turkish oommuntty, wbloh is threatened wltb oomplote annibilatlon. 66.

For, while yeeterday’e ultimatumoitee the event8 of the paet three days, it should not be forgotten that on 7 Maroh, the very day of the attaok on the Cypriot Greeks at Paphos and three day8 after the adoption of the Couno!llr resolution, Mr. Kemal Satir, the Vioe- President of the Counoil of Ministers of Turkey, deolared at Istanbul: “Turkey’s right to intervene under the treaty ie reserved by the reeolution and, !n any oaee”-I repeat--in any oaae, Turkey ha8 the ability to inkrvene”, Mr. Kemal Satir aleo deolared that the Turkish Government would not aooept any decision unfavourable to Turkey and the Cypriot Turks that might be taken by the medlatore appointed with Turkey’8 consent. 68. This ie how the Seourity Counoil’e resolutionhas been received by Turkey, wbioh, none the leee, !n Its note of yerterday, aoou5ea the Government of Cyprur of hav!ng interpreted it in a thoroughly irresponsible manner, But, we are told, the Turklab noto doe8 not apeally a date on which the unilateral aotion ir to be taken, Far from mak!ng matters easier, I am afraid that thir aggravate8 the eituation by holdlngaoonstant threat of an explosion over Cyprus and around Cyprue at a time when the United Nations and ao many of its Member8 are exerting all their effort8 and assuming heavy reepon8!b!l!tiee in order to help restore peaoe to the Island. 69, In any Oa8e th8 Turk!sh Government ha8 been notified bythe Greek Qovernr &at that should Turkeydespite the Seourity COUnOi1’8 rerolution and deeoite the-Seoretary-C&n&al18 appeals-deoide to Lnterdene unilaterally in Cyprus, it8 intervention would~automat!oally &d !m!i&!ately bring about intervention by Greeoe, wh!oh ie a&our to prOt8Ot the independenoe, eovereignty and integrity of Cyprur. 70, CJreeoe oontinu88 to hop8 that theoounrelr of w!rdam end prudenoe will prevail md tFw% Se~urlty threat of intervention which la eetforth!ndeta!l in thi letter addressed to the Secrotnry-Qensral by the Permanent Hepresentative of Turkey, n lettor whioh explains the duration of the mission of the foroe when it suys that a foroe will be sent from Turkey in the exeroise of n right deriving expressly from treaties nud will coritinue to ogernte until the Uuibd Nations Peace-keeping Foroe, provided for in pnragraph 4 of the resolution, reuohes Cyprus. Thereis a timc-llmlt, a dute has beer1 set, and I believe thnt the llermaneiit 1leprem~nt.n Hvo of Turkey kuew very we!1 whcu ho sent this letter to the Suaretary-Geuernl thnt the Intur- Cur 11 y 0. mennce dLinterveutiou, et cette menuoe est expos6e en d&nil dans la lettre adress& au Secrbtnlre g&i&al pRr le repr6seatnut perrnauenl de la Turquie, lnquelle Indlque lu dur6e de In ml+ sion do In force turque en disnnt cpe cette dcrulbre sern envoy!3e daus I’exercice d’uu droit bmnuant express6ment dus Irnltbs et op6rern Jusqu’nu moment oh ln Force des Nntlons Unles chnrgbe du mnlntien do ln pnlx, envlsngbe uu pnrngrnphe 4 doln r6solutIou du 4 mnrs, se rendrri h Chypre. La lettre flxe un termn et uuc dute, et je croio qua lo ropr6sontnnt 71. Mr. FtOSSIDES (Cyprur)~ I should like to ray a fuw brief worda in reply to tha Turkish reprerontativo. Ho asked whether I would guarantee that there would be no fightlng. or burning or anything of that rort in Cyprus, I would oak him to tell me how I or any reaeoaable person oould say that there would not be any fightlng, lf the Turks themrelvee keep provoking it ae they did in Paphor after the resolution wae adopt& How could the Government of Cyprue guaranbe that thore will be no firing book or fires breaking out when we had to repel the attaoke in order to eliminate the aouroee of firing by rnlpero and tlie killing of persons? If the Turks were not prodded into fighting in Cyprus there would be immediate peaoe. 73. It ir obvious that it is we, the Qovernment, who want a peaoeful, Cyprur in order to have a tiled Cyprur, a unified State, that it 1s we who pTe the onee wl~o want paoe, that it ir we who do not want fighting, that it is the Qovernment of Cyprus and the Qreek people of Cyprur who say that ooexirtenoe Is porslble, We have no vented interert in fighting and killing. 73. The verted interest in fighting and killing 18 with there who want to rhJw that there oan be no ooexietenoe, that partition ir the only solution. If the provooation from the Turkleh side oeaeea, oalm will eurely be regained in Cyprw I repeat again, that the bulk of the Turkish people ln Cyprur do not want fighti;lg and hatrod, They want to live together-if they are only left alone. 74. There ir ono other point that I should like to make, The reprorentative of Turkey raid that there ir no quortion of invasion, there is no quertlon of entering Cyprur by fomti, I knew that that would be raid in the Seourlty Counoil. But what does the letter from the pmanent Representative of Turkey ray? It read& I.. the Government of the Turkish Republio , , , by virtue of tho right oonforredupon it by artloie IV of the Troaty of CWranteo, has deoided to take appropriate aatioua.

There Is anothar point which shows their Intention to use force in Cyprus. The letter from tho Permanent Reprcsentntive of Turkey states: *Upon the oontlnuntlon of these nttnoks efforts wore made in order to expnud and strengthen the trlpurtlte force whioh wan tion qu’on In loiese en palx. 74, Je voudraie aoulever un autre point, Le reprb rentult de la Turqule a dlt qu’ll n’6talt pas question d’lnvasion, qu’il n’6talt pa8 question d’entrer BChypre par la foroe.

La lettre (1u repr6sentant permunent de la Turqule dbclare: Wornme ties nttaq44es c0nt11N444ie14t, clew efforts ont Btb falts pour Blnryir et ranforcer lo force trlpartlte cr66e oonforoT*rmer*** roisnt oompatibler aveo lea Butr et es Prinoipes des Nations Unies.n La Turquie revendiqus le droit dt1nt8rvenir B Chypre en vertu d’aooords rbglonaux, oonform8ment h l’Artiole 52, sans tenir oompte du fait que oes aooords doivent Btre compatibles aveo lea Buts et lee Prinoipes de la Charte et, par oone&quent, oompatible8 aveo le paragraphe 4 de 1’Artiole 2.

La lettre du representant de la Turquie se termine par oette dblaration: “Je vous serais oblige de bien vouloir, oonformbment B 1lArtiole 64 de la Charte, informer 1s Conseil de eburitb de la situation et faire lo nboeesaire pour que la Foroe des Nations Unies oharg&e du maintien de la paix soit envoy&e d’urgenoe, oonformbment au paragraphs 4 de la r&solution adopt&e par le Conoeil de sburit& lo 4 mars 1984.” C’est 18 enoore une contradiction. La lettre dit que la Turquie envoie une force B Chypre, ma10 ells demande bgalement aux Nations Union d’en envoyer une, co qui signifie qu’un envoi ntempbohe pam llautre. Toute la lettre en quertion montre que le Qouvernement turo estime qu’il a le droit d’envoyer dans llfle une foroe de maintien de la paix, alorr qua, par ailleurs, il lance un ultimatum menaqant ltint8gritb territoriale et l~ind&pendanoe de Chypre. 78. J’ai ooun les yeux le World-Telenram and Sun de New York, qui dit oe qui suitr “La Turquie adresre un ultimatum aux Chypriotes grecs et aU Q6uvernement greo.” 81 tout le monde oomprend Ies ohosar de oatte fagon, lo reprgsentant de la Turquie mtexousera peut-gtre de les ~omprendrs de m&me, otest-bdlre oomme un ultimatum, 79. L’Artiole 63 de 1~ Charta prbvoit qutauaunr “aotion ooeroitiva no aera entreprine en vertu d’aooords rbgionaux . , , ssns l~autorisation du Consefl de eburit6.n Jo voudrais que le reprdrrntant 6 la Turquir diae k son gouvernement quo, r’il invQqu0 ltArttole IS pour intb Turkey olaims the right to intsrvene in Cyprus by virtue of regional arrangements under Artiole 61, disregarding the foot that suoh arrangements murt be subjeat to the Purposes and Principles of the Charter and therefore subjeot to Article 2, para raph 4. The Turkirh letter therefore oontradiots itse d ,dieregards what it wiehes to dieregard, and quotas Artiole 61 without taking aooount of the faot that that Artiole precludes it from aoting oontrary to the Charter. 77. The latter from thd Permanent Representativeof Turkey then ends with this statement: ‘1 request Your Exoellenoy to be good enough, in aooordanoe with Artiole 64 of the Ckter, to inform the Seourity Counoil of the situation and to take the neoessary steps for an urgent dispatoh of the United Nations Pesos-keeping Foroe in oonformity wttb paragraph 4 of the Ssourity Council resolution of 4 Maroh 1964.” This, again, oontradlots itself. The letter says that Turkey is dispatohing a foroe, but it alro oalls on the United Nations to dispatoh a foroe-meaning that the one diapatah doea not prevent the other. And it is inherent in the whole oommunioation that the Turkish Qovernment oonsiders itself entitled to send a foroe to the island as a psuoe-keeping foroe, whereas in another plaoe it uees an ultimatum, threatening the territorial integrity and independenoe of Cyprus, 78. I have here before me the NewYork%/prld-Teleram and Sun, whioh says: “Turkey 1ssueL ultimatum i!!nsmyprlots and Greek Clovernmenta. Well, surely, if everybody understands it in this way, perhaps the represcntativs of Turkey will pardon me for understanding it in the same way-as an ultimatum. 78, Artiole 68 of tha Ohartar rtatell that %oenforoemerit Potion &all be taken under regional arrangements , , , without the authorifiation of the kourity Counoil~, I wult the repre8entotlve of Turkey to oonvoy to his Cio~rnmeat that, if it relies on Artiole 51 for intsrvsnthn in Cyprw, It murt rlro Ww ln mind Artiole the ~urkhh Oovernmcmt mtut obtain the We oannot allow Turkey to threaten Cyprus with intervention and with violation of its integrity and independence on the grounds that there is a regional arrangoment in the form of the Treaty of Guarantee. Any regional arrangement, under the Treaty of Guarantee or under any other treaty, mu& oomeunder Article G3, and no Turlrlsh foroo oan be dbpotohed to Cyprus without the nuthorizetion of the Srlourity Counoil. Let us have an end to this sbuation, onoe and for all; let uti have an -md of these threats to Cyprus. I would ask ngaln that the Seourity Counoil adopt a resolution whioh wtll put an end to these Nous ne pouvone laisser la Turquie menacer Chypre dbno intervention et d’une violation de Bon intbgritb et de son ind6pendnnce SOW prbtexte qu’il existe un aoaord r6giona1, en Itesp60e oe trait6 de garantie.

Mettons une foi3 pour toutes un terme B cette situntlon; mettons un terme B tea menaces centre Chypre. Je demandarai une foltl encore que le Conseil de &curitB adopte une rbsolution qui 81.. The statement we have just heard from the reprosentative of Cyprus likewise makes it quite olear that Cyprus’ fears are justified. The latest reports from newa agenoies indioate that the threat is beoomlng extremely ominous. Following yesterday’s ultimatum by Turkey to Cyprus, aooording to the U PI agenoy, the Prime Minister of Turkey has stated today that if Turkey does not receive a satisfaotory reply lo its note from Cyprus by the evening of 13 Maruh, its foroes will land on the island. At the aame time, aooording to the same reports, the embarkation of Turkish foroee-invnslon foroes-by warships in the port of Iskenderun has already begun, Thus, a8 a result of provooatlve unilateral aotione by Turkey, the eituation in the Cyprus area is beoomlng highly menaoing. 82. This kind of behaviour by Turkey throws light on many thinge; thua it ie now understandable why, when the Cyprus eituation was riiaouesed at the Seourity Counollts meeting of 28 February, the representative of Turkey stubbornly refused to answer the question he was asked by the Soviet delegation and the delegatione of other oountiies, a question of fundamental importanoe to the Counoil-nameiy, whether the Turkish Government was willing, in aooordanoe with the Charter of our Organiration, to respeot the sovereignty, independenoe &d territorial int&ity of Cyprus. Why, indeed. rrhould the representative of Turkey not bave anrwered thie perfeotiy olear queation in & equally olear and artioulate manner? The reply oouldbe poeirive or negative, but the Seourity Couno~l did not reoeive any reply to thie question. It dtdnot reoelve one, obvlourly, not beoauae the Turkieh representative had suddenly lost the power of epeeoh, but beoaure the Turk8 had in aotual faot from the very beginning been oontemplating an invasion of Cyprus. 88, A# we know, the Seourity Counoil, in the reeolution unanhously adopted on 4 Maroht alI Memba f!tMa lh QorXOrrmlt witi r-~~theu~rdthe~d~d efrain from any aotion or threat of notion likely to worsen tho situation in the sovereign Itept:~lio of Cyprus, or to endanger international poaoe.” Turkey, a8 is nlso known, ralsed no objeotlon to this resolution. 84. Furthermore, iu a note sent yesterday to Archbishop Maknrlos, the Prosidont of Cyprus [S/S69(i, Annex], the Turkish Government even reforfi to tho Seourlty Counoll resolution. AclmIttedly, ~8 IR oleur from tho note, Turkey obviously prefers to pass over in oompletu silence whut Is In fuel tho key provision -lr .wi.

I have deemed it neoeesary to mentionthe interpretation whioh oan be given to oertain olaures of a resolution beoaure we have had anunfortunate experienoe with the rerolution of 4 Maroh 1284. The seoond opsrattve paragraph of that resolution, In whloh the Counoil asked the Government of Cyprus, %hioh has the responslbillty for the malntenanoe andrestorallon of law and order, to take all additional measures neoerrary to stop violenoe and bloodshed in Cyprusa, wao mlroonrtrued in a very unfortunate manner, with the result that, instead of our moving nearer to the rrstorallon of law and order, violenoe and bloodshed have in faot inoreued in Cypruo. 117. I do hop that all partier oonoerned will bear thlr in mind and will proceed with a oorreot lnterpretation and implemrntatlon of this resolutlon,wb.toh, am I have said, oan prove to be a oonstruotive dooument. 113.

The statements we have heard this evening have shown how disturbing the situation has beoome. It is most regrettable indeed that the appeals for tr return to oalm made last week by the Seourity Council should have gone unheeded and that the Security Counoil resolution of 4 Maroh should have ken followed only by a recrudesoenoe of the violenoe and threats whioh it had sought to end. jusqutlol que par une reorudesoenoe des violenoes ou des mennoes auxquelles elle viaait h mettre un terme. 122.

Indeed, it is as if we oonfronted a kind of vloious oirole in whioh one inoreasingly dangerous step follows another, thus aooelerating the deterioration of the situation, 133. This is a ohainof events that must be broken, and it oan only be broken by promptly givlngup the methods which have been allowed to oome into use. This evening, therefore, the Counoil is making a further appeal to all oonoerned to restore promptly an atmosphereof oalm, a spirit of oonoiliation and reapeot for the United Nations Charter, and to refrain henoeforth from any action or any etatement liable to embitter their mutual relations and endanger the peaoe, 124. Even before our meeting thieeveningoommendable efforts were made to this end,partloularly by the Seoretary-Oeneral, who, in a diffioult and urgent situation, has done everything possible to help paoify feeding8 and restore order, At the appropriate time, further efforts will have to be made to find suitable methods of settling the basio problem faolng Cyprus. But, for the present, every one of the Qovernmentr and the rerponeible leaderr of the oommunltiea involved must realice-whatever their views on the future of Cyprur may be that itr future and the lnterertr of all its inhabitant8 will be la&in ly jeopardised if order IO not restored promptly, if mig R t were to prevail over right. 126. It is in this opirit that the Frenoh delegation will vote in favour of the draft rosolutionpresented by the l’eprasentatlvc of Brazil on bohnlf of ills owu oountry and of Uollvla, the Ivory Coast, Norwny and Moroooo.

My delegation 1s hnppy to see that now that 126. M. BENIIIMA (Maroo): Mn dblbgatlon so r6jouIt du fait qu% la fin de oe dbbnt l’utmosph8re qul rbgne RU Consell est dlff6ronte de celle dnns lu~@le nous nvons conimonc6 notra dlscusslon et quo les documents We are nearbig tho and of OLW debato, the atmosphora Whklh pevails in lho Counoll Is dlfferunt from that in 127. I am glad that oo-operation among members of the Counoil has onoe agaln enabled the sponsors of the last resolution to make a further effort to bring in another oonstruotive element that might now suooeed in lowering the international temperature, so to speak, with respeot to a crisis whloh thle afternoon seemed quite serious but which, we feel, is beginnlng to be muoh less so sinoe this meeting, 128. I also listened with great interest to the statements made by the representative of Cyprus, the Turkish Ambassador and the repreeentatlve of the Soviet Union regarding the very oareful interpretation all of them have given to the draft resolution submitted by the five sponsors. As one of the sponsors, my delegatlon feels that In order to disoharge its full responsibillty and in the interests of setting the reoord straight, it should provide some further explanation, 129. I might sum up our attitude regarding the interpretation to be glven to this draft reeolutlon by oombining the statements made by the representative of Cyprus with those made by the representative of Turkey. The mere fact that in thIe draft resolution we reaffirm the rosolution of 4 Maroh means that we regard all of the latter resolution--both its preamble and its operative part-as still valid. When the Council endeavoured during ite earlier disoueslons to help restore peaoe and order in Cyprus, there was nothing that eaid that the Counoil should exert its efforts unaided; it was understood that the partiee direotly oonoerned should elmllarly oo-operate in restoring peaoe and order. 130. We are pleased to see that, despite the diHioult rltuation, the Seoretary-General has managed, through the oo-operation and sense of international reeponslbility of many Member States, to establirhaninternational fame wbioh is arrembling for the purpose of oarrying out its areigned tack. we agree, h&ever, that if the rltuation is again taking a turn for the worse, it Ir doing IO not only beoaure there is an outride faotor that might brritimately oonntltute a threat to the integrity &d a&erelgnG of Cyprus but alno beoause there is an equally explosive sltaatlon inside the oountry. Moreover, the Security Council’s resolution of 4 Marob mentions tK)th lhescfuotors,referrilig to the first faotor in operfltive paragraph 1 and going on to mention the soooncl fnotor In pnrngmph 2, in wblob it mnltus u elrong appeal to the Oovornment of Cyprus to take addItIona measures to restore peuoo in Cyprus. 131. Wo nro oonvincotl that today’s disousslon hns been moat constructive not only beonusa it hntl t&m plaou ut a tlnro when we ware In dnnger of witnosslng n very clangorous fluro-up, but ulso beontise It has led 26 134. The Norwegian authorities further want to express their respeot and gratitude to the Governments of Canada, Ireland and Sweden, which have all now responded positively to the request of the Seoretary- General to join with the United Kingdom foroes In Cyprus, thereby making the peaoe-keeplngforoe there an international Utited Nations peace-keeping foroe. We 8Fe further heartened by the understanding Qhioh wo have that there may be further positive responses by other Governments wh.toh have also been similarly approaohed by the Seoretary-Qenernl. 136. Norway has the pleasure of again being one of the oo-sponsors, together with four of the other nonpermanent members of the Seaurlty Counoll-that is to say Bolivia, Brazil, the Ivory Coast and Morooooof the drsft resolution before the Seourlty Counoll, whloh was lntroduoed by the repreeentative of Braeil. 136. TN8 draft resolution uoinoides exaotly with the view of my Government, My Government is deeply concerned over the developments in the ares, I would like to say, in two words, what my Government means by “in the area”. We mean the situation in the krrltory of the Republic of Cyprus itself. The Norwe@an people and Government do not believe ln violenoe and bloodshed as a means of solving problems wlthln a State; nor do we believe ln Intervention from the outside ln order to bring about a oertain solution to tragio differenoer between variour partr of the population of any one Member State. r6DOndU B la demande du Seor&alre f&&al de slassooier aux foroes du Royaume-Uni -h Chyprs, transformant oinsl la foroe de maintlen de la palx on une foroe lnternationale des Nations Unleu.

That is why my delegation, conslderlng this situation very serious, has felt that the Security Counoil should take appropriate steps to uphold its own resolution, to reaffirm It and to see that it 18 observed, It is In thie sense, andonly in this sense, that our delegallon lnterpl et8 the draft reeolutlon sponsored by the delegations of Bolivia, Brazil, Ivory Coast, Moroooo and Norway, and It will therefore vote for the draft reeolution.

My delegation would simply like to thank the Seoretary-Qeneral for all his efforts. They are, moat fortunately, suooeeding and onoe again will save the peace. 146. I should also like to thank the Governments and the countries whioh have agreed to carry out the task assigned to them by the Seourity Counoil, in spiti of the heavy burdens it will entail. My delegation would merely like to say that It ie in full agreement with all the explanations given by our colleague, the repreeentatlve of Brazil, who lntroduoed the draft resolution on our behalf. The reasons he has given are those whioh prompted the Ivory Coast to oo-sponsor this draft resolution. 147. We believe that only the Foroe oreated by the Seoretary-Oeneral a8 a result of our reeolutIon of 4 Maroh 1964 should intervene in Cyprus. All other States, all other foroes and all Members of the United Nations, muat eorupulouely abide by operative paragraph 1 of the draft resolution on whioh we are about to vote. du 4 mare 1964.
