Before opening the debate 1 should Iike to draw attention to the Secretary-General’8 report [S/SSSl] dated 5 November 1965.

1 do not think tbat 1 need dwell on the reasons for which Ifullysupportthe requestmadebymy neighbour, collesgue and friend.

1 should like to thank the representatives of the Ivory Coast and France and inform the Council that on leaving this chamber after this morning’s meeting, 1 requested the Secretariat to try to bave the translations of this important report ready for this afternoon’s meeting, not only in French but also in the other officia1 langnages. 8. Unfortunately, although the Secretariat has been working with the best Will in the world, it has not been possible to complete the translations by the beginning of this meeting. 1 have just been toldby the Secretariat that we shall probably receive tbe translations within an heur. 9. 1 think that with this information the members of the Council may wish to proceed with the debate sud hear the representative of Turkey; that will give the Secretariat time to provide us with the respective translations. In any event, 1 am the Council’s servant and shall follow its wishes in the matter. 1 cal1 upon the representative of Turkey. 10. MI. ERALP (Turkey): We are once again faced with outright, stark aggression from the Greek Cypriots. At this moment more than ten thousand Turkish Cypriots. inhabitants of the City of Famagnsta, are under attack from Greek Cypriot forces. Ail kiid of weapons from artillery to mortars and machine guns bave been trained on and are firingupon innocent people-women. children and aged alike. Thesepeople bave been arbitrarily sealed off from the rest of the islsnd, their water and electricity supply bave been tut off and their telephones bave been disconnected. Apparently they bave been readied for elimination under the brutal shelling of the Greek Cypriot socalled National Guard: an illegal force assembled to put an end to the existence of the Turkish community first and the independence of the State of Cyprus thereafter. 11. My Government has been exercising UtmoSt restraint in the face of the continuing Greek Cypriot aggression. It has placed its confidence in the Security Council for the maintenance of peace on the Island. And it has been patiently striving for an agreed and negotiafed settlement as envisaged in Security Council resolution 166 (1964) of 4 March 1964. 12. We submit that this good-Will of Turkey, this confidence placed by us in peaceful settlement of disputes, has not been matched by the Greek side. The Greek side - the Greek Cypriots and Greece - has constantly tried to salve the problem by way of faitsnslana tc Greece. ad sny that tlley alreaay ds. B is net my intention to systematicaUy and sel bit by bit, slice by ske, by metha.35 of military eL ra3abents, whemver the situation is suitable for this. cabh m&mds af eoonomic Pressure and eveen an wllenever tlae attentian of warm pub= nie a eems to be caiverted somewbere else ad by outui~bt a ession whenever the other two metho& do not seem to yield results. The crucial thing is nat SO much the methcd utilized, altbough tbe importance of tbis cannot in any way be overlooked, but the existence of tbe master plan of resolving the psahlem tbrough force and througb faits-accomplis. 13. My Government bas several times in tbe past, in tbe reeent past, drawn tbe attention of tbe Secretary-General and the Security Council to tbese obnoxious Greek efforts. As reeently as 25 Sept@mb@r 1965, an unprovoked raid of terrorisation wascarried out an the Turkish quarter of thevillage of Polemidbia in the sdh af the Island by a force of some 700 soldiers, armed to tbe teeth and reinforced by armoured vehicles. At tbe same time. the Turkish sector of tbe nearby City of Limassol was cordoned off by Greek &q~riot military unite.. This was followed by armed sttacks on tbe Turkisb Cypriot fields and farms arcama the v e of Yesilova or Mandria and only a few days ago, on 15 O-ctober 1965, on Limnitis. UNFKCYP intervention could save the situation at Uesilova. Howevm, at Limnitis, the UNFICUP patron units were obliged to witbdraw under fire from the Greek Cypriots. Tbey had to withdraw from their OWD. area of patrol which was thereupon oooupied by tbe Greek Cypriot forces. Representations of tb@ Force Commander made to Archbishop Makarios and to otber Greek Cypriot leaders proved fruitless and the Greek Cypriot armed p@rsonnel are sttl1 bokling tbe area occupied by them arbitrarily. 14. While tbis operation was going on, the Greek Cypriots bad already started the harrassment of tbe Turks in and around Famagusta. Fortifications were being built tbreatening Turkish Cypriotpositions and homes in the old harbour area. On 16 October. General Tbimayya conducted an inspection tour in the town and was shocked to se@ Greek Cypriot fortiiications erected without the knowledge of WNFICYP and tn violation of the cesse-fire agreement of 15 May 1964. This oreated a terme situation and armed personnel of both sides remained in constant vigil. On 19 Ootober, Greek Cypriot soldiers marched on tbe Turkish village of Avtepe near Famagusta, and fire was exchanged as they reacbed tbe outsklrts of tbe vi%F in fOrCe. On 27 Ootober, the Greeks marobed 16. These provocations culminated in an open attaok cm Sakaria on 2 November, three days ago. On tha.t &y, the Greek Cypriots sent an armed patrol unit beyond WNFICYP positions in violation of the cesse- Are agreement reached between the two sides in the Famagusta region in May 1964 under the auspices of the Force Commander, General Gyani at that time, and in disregard of the warnings and objections of the local UNFICYP Commander this time. Information in our possession shows that exchange of fire between this Greek Cypriot patrol unit and tbe Turkish Cypriots of Sakaria commenced after the Greeks had first opened fire. 16. 1 am aware that there is a mention in tbe UNFICYP press release to the effect that the Turkish Cypriots opened fire on the approaching patrol units. I do not believe that the importance of tbe matter lies in the actual firing of a gun, as to who started the firing. This point cari apparently be argued endlessly. The fact is, however. that the Greek Cypriot patrol seems to bave been under orders to provoke an incident which was calculated to unchain the largescale Greek assault. After the initial exchange of the first sporadic shots, the Greeks occupied a house only twenty-five meters from the Turkish sector and fortified it. At 6 p.m., the Turkish quarter was besieged by a strong force armed with three cannons and ten armoured vehicles. at which time a murderous fire was opened on the quarter with a11 the heavy weapons. At 9.15 p.m.. through the efforts of the UNFICYP, the firing was stopped, but twenty-five minutes later the Greeks resumed firing, extending the area of their attack to the whole Turkish sector of Farnag.mta, including the suburb of Karaolos or Karakol and the Turkish sector of the City outside the walls, as well as the 013 City within the walls itself. They continued their drive without paying any heed to appeals issued by UNFICYP, in breaoh of cesse-fire spells secured locally. They forced their way through totally civilian areas and occupied the Turkish High School in close proximity to the walls. The school building which catered solely to the educational needs of some 400 students was ransacked and destroyed. 17. In the meantime. the whole Turkish area WaE placed under a total military siege, the water anc electricity supply of the Turkish inhabitants Were tut off, telephone lines were tut and the supply d provisions stopped once again. Not even a loaf d bread was allowed to go into the Turkish sector. This pressure was coupled with terrorisation of innocent people through vindictive murders in tha course of which at least one unarmed man is definitely known to have been shot to death in full view of hia wife and daughter. 19. CcdoneP Drewry, Deputy Chief ofstaffof UNFICYP. confirmed that at 8 p.m. on 4 November, the Greek Cypriots were firing at the Turkish building. No fire was returned by the Turkish occupants of the building wbo were civilians in any case. At 11 p.m. on the same night. UNFICYP stated that a11 tbe occupants of the building, numbering eighty. hadbeen evacuated andthat they had been taken into the walled City. There were four wound@damongthes@TurkishCypriots.TheGre@k Cypriot fire on the building stopped thereafter. Heavy weapons, including bazookas, w@re utilised by the Greeks. The building was tben occupied by UNFICYP police. 20. Simultaneously, Greek military pressure on the Baykal quarter of the Turkish sector outside the walled city was increased. Greekenforcementsandarmoured Cars were Sent to this locslity and the Greeks started to fire sud advance on Turklsh buildings. Greekfiring on Sakaria continued unabated. Karakol or Karaolos, auother Turkish suburb on tbe shore. came under attack from the sea as well. Two Greek Cypriot gunboats shelled Turkish homes while Greek fire from the land contmued. At 9.25 a.m. local time on 5 Nevemb%r. Way, firing from heavy Greek weapons in this sector was stiII in progress. 21. You Will find that this e& is largely borne oyt by the report of the Secretary-General which Will shortly be circulated in other langnages than English. The information in possession of ouï del@- gation is more recent and. according to that, firing sbbeci again this morning at 9 o’clock local time and went on till 11 o’clook,bywhichtime it bad som~ what slackened. But the assessment of the Turkish Cypriots in the area is that hostilities might be re.. aumed by tbe Greeks in te sfternoon and an aIl-out %ttack might b@ Iaunched In the oourse of te evening. 8~ the SitUatian is extremelytense andvery dangerous. 22. This brief expos8 of the development of events I bave presented to the Council should b@ sufficient tc mabe it CIear that rh@ Wbok operation was planned in advarice s.nd meticulously put into opesation as pari and parce1 of master-plan which as I bave mention& @m-lier is 8 élan which aims at achieving an imposeo SQhtiQn t0 the aiuestion of Cypms whicb will satisfy tbe Grsek desire of s. 24. 1 therefore appeal to the Council to take any measures it might deem appropriate for securing the observance of its resolutions by a11 parties. The Greek Cypriot attack should be stopped and the Greek Cypriots should be called upon, in accordance withthe agreement of 15 May 1964, to withdrawfromthe positions theyhave occupied as a result of their aggression. 1 would like once more to stress the aravitv of the w ~1 -~ ~~~- situation and the danger of .allowingtheGreekCypriots to believe that they cari remaln in the positions occupied by sheer force of arms. 25. On other occasions in the past, each time the Greek Cypriots bave attacked the Turks In Cyprus snd secured new forward positions, 1 bave urged the Council to demand the withdrawal of the aggressive forces to their previous positions. Failure to bring about such withdrawal in the past is largely responsible for the present aggression ln Famagusta. Here again the Greek Cypriots bave upset the truce and bave occupied Turkish buildings and schools. Unless they are made to wlthdraw ta the positions from which they launched their attack, unless they are made to give up the fruits of their aggression, their insatiable appetite for further advanoes will he whetted wlth the inevitable result of a return of large-scale fightlng ln the Island. 26. The Greek newspapers of Cypxus are presenting the present aggression in Famagusta as a great victory for their so-called National Guard. The psychological consequences of such an attitude are fraught with danger. Perhaps it wouldbeusefulfor the Council to realize that sny such victory. as they cal1 it, as claimed for the aggressive Greek forces in Cyprus is a defeat for the United Nations peacekeeping endeavour, for thepeace-keepingForcewhose mandate is to prevent a recurrence of fighting. 27. 1 believe that, properly interpreted and applied. tbe mandate of the UNFICYP 1s broad encugh to stop snch aggression and to affect tbese withdrawals 80 that figbting may not recur.

Idid net want to intrude myself into this discussion, but the representative of Turkey referred to information later than that contained in the Secretary-General’5 report, I merely wish to inquire whether the Seoretary- General has received any information from Cyprus later than that in his report, information whioh might heIp us in OUI: consideration of the matter.

1 glve the fIcor to the Secretary-General. Qws aB1 g except the Tarkisk representativeis to elàmtite tke Turks in Cvorus.

Tk@n ‘ch@ Fepresentative of Turkey wentoatosay, amo~ otker tbings, tbat tbe waées kad b@en @ut off. %XV @aa me EtepIy? I tkink tke most konmrable reply is &@y to say tkat tkis is net correct and tkat it is a lie. e watar bas notbeeuwtoff. If be is iefer tom cide%& tkat took place in Famagusta wke sec?toF of a@3 minority waa affected for a fea bcars ay Eh@ sectes of the Qw ation was aho a& feeted-as a result of a re accident, and the pipe was immediately repaired, I think that ke ought tc give tkis Council a Little bit of credit ami, at least, 43. 1 must state that 1 bave only had’a chance to glance at it slnce it was circulated onlya few minutes ago. From what 1 was able to read in that report. it seems, in ou1 own view, that it is incomplete. There are certain things which are not in the report and which we shall attempt to put before the Cou&l in tbe course of the debate. However, the basic thing, which emanates clearly from this report, is who first started the shooting in the Famagusta area on 2 November and on 4 November. In both cases the report is quite clear. The actual firing. however irrelevant this may sound to the representative of Turkey-but that is why he brought us here-was started by the Turks. 44. What happened on 2 November, very briefly isas follows: There was a National Guard patrol-and it is not for the Turkish representative to speak of the usefulness of tbe National Guard. IIe is the last one who has the right to do 50. The National Guard was formed in order to defend Cyprus from aggressfonby’lurkey. from the aggression of the agents of Turkey in Cyprus; and the kind of attaoks which Cyprus has experienced from Turkey, such as the bombings of August 1964, are not the kind of attacks which the poor Turkisb Cypriots are experiencing at the moment, when tbere is oomplete peace in the area. 4%. Wben this patrol was moving along the road to Salamis, the patrol was fired upon from Turkish Cypriot poste. This is confirmer: by the Secretary- General% report. Then the incidents started in Fama3usta on 2 November, and after that there was tension. This was after a series of provocations on the part of the Turkish Cypriots. When 1 speak of Turkish Cypriots in this context, 1 do not mean the vast Turkish Cypriot population which longs forpeace and is ready to co-operate with the great majority in Cyprua. 1 am not speaking of the Turkish Cypriots who have escaped from the enclaves and the ghettos wbich are forced upon them by their so-calledleadership and by the terrorists paid and organized from Ankara-and the number that bave recently escaped is 300. 1 am referring to the Turkish Cypriots who are armed snd who obey the instructions of the Turkish Government. 46. On 4 November. a new incident took place-an incident which started with the opening of fire by Turkish Cypriots from their posts in the Sakharia sector, as it is called. Then this incident continued around a block of flats which is situated outside the walled City of Famagusta. The Turkish representative g. tbe 6ommm%der of the Commmder of the Police in 47. Y@SC Natimd t that vas doue. At en shcnlld move from t then, there were gunmen. Tbe Commander of the Piational Guard and tbe Co mmander of the Police agreecl ~6th him that he shouId bave more time. 48. However, before the second period of time elapsed, a new lneident started. It started wben a ImspitaI was flr@d n, and tbe fire came from that partieular buil The repwt of the Secretary- General mentions accusation of the Cyprus Gavexnment in tbis connexion t it states that. up to tb@ time th@ reports were eirculateà, there was no evidence that the bospital bad actually been bit S. But the bospital was actually hlt by the àn that connexion 1 should like to read a ablegram tbat 1 bave received: wWi~~t any cause or provocation, TurkIsb Cypriots opened fire on the Government hospital from the baildiig situated nearby, acrossthe street, and also from a gun post on top of the gates-th&t is, walls of Famagu~ta.~A barrage of automatic hit the maternity ward and, as bnllets smashed Windows andwbinedpastthedoorways, doctors sud nurses hurriedly mov@d the screaming babies and their mothers to a safe place in the buiIOlm. Tbe firing start@d from that building-that is to say, it started alter tbe firing had started earlier by Turks from the Sakbaria posts which they hold. There was firing on the part of the National Guard. Tbere was an exohange of fire which Iasted for some Urne, the results of which are stated in the report of the Secretary- General. On tbe whole, the injuries were fortunately mt many. 4% At the time the Turkish representative was lodginp his request for an emergency meeting of the Securitl Council yesterday. there was complete calm in thc area. Later on. certain firing incidents twk place, ir which the Turks fired from their positions without an1 reply on the part of the National Guard. 1 could ennmerate them. That includes incidents whichtookplacc 50. It would take a great deal of time to give the Council ail the details. The way in which the firing started, both on 2 November and on 4 November, is clearly lndicated in the Secretary-General% report. 51. 1 should like to make some further remarks on the statement of the renresentative of Turkev. If 1 heard him correctly, hê said that the Turks”in the area in question could not get even a single loaf of bread. That, again, is not indicated in the report of the Secretary-General. In reply to the allegation, the Government of Cyprus has made public the following announcement: “It is absolutely false that the Government authoritics bave banned the movement of Turkish Cypriots in or out of the old City of Famagusta, or that there is a blockade of this town by the National Guard. Any Citizen of the tovm is free tomove in any area and to be supplied with any quantity of foodstuffs or other essentials. In various parts of the town. especially where incidents occurred, guards bave been placed, but for one purpose only: to secure the free movement ofall citiaens snd to avert anyfurther incidents. vOn the contrary, the Turkish Cypriot leadership has placedarmedguardsatthegates, andthe Turkish Cypriot workers of the barbourhavenot reportedfor work.v 52. We are witnessing the well-known, usualpattern. Some days ago, my Government issued a declaration in connexio& with the international guarantee of human rights and minority rights, in particular with reference, to the Turkish Cypriots. It is obvious that the Turkish Government was anxims to create a situation whereby it could change the atmosphere that that declaration of the Cyprus Government had brought about. That ie why it seemed to the Turkish Government tbat it WBP necessary to repeat the old patterm let us create a little bit of tension: Lt ue etart a little bit of shooting; and then we can corne to the Security Council and acouse tbem of having started it; we cari say that the poor underdogs, the Turke, are in of being exterminated; that these terrible Greeks are trying to kil1 ail the Turlca-indeed, the Turkish representative says that tbat is happening at tbis moment. 53. And what is the net result? People are injured because of sllly incidents. These incidents are not created by tbe Cyprus Government and the National s Force is there. We are oorts to securepeace and prevent g.

With a11 due respect 1 believe that. in the circumstances. we are ail to a certain extent unnecessarily taking the time of the Security Council, especially, if for no other reason, in view of the statement just made bythe Secretary-GeneraI. But this is not our fault. We bave been accused of doing things that we bave never done, and the Council must excuse us if we consider it our right and duty to try to defend ourselves. 60. Before conoluding. 1 should Ilke to refer (0 two points which are relevant. Gne 1s tbe fact that my Government hae decfded again te, allow a new shipment of Red Crescent reltef from Turkey. I bave the dstails. but 1 do net think it is necessary to cite them here. The other point to which I should like to refer-4 shall only refer to it becauae it is IncIuded in the report of the Secretary-General-concerne the specific proposala which have been put forward by the Government of Cyprus in connexion with arr ment6 in the Famagusta area. 61. In conclusion, 1 sbould like to emphasfae once again tbat the policy of tha Government of Cyprus is paace. proved tbie and we bave been contfnually it. One &ould be amased to find th8.t we 8: accussd hem by Turkey. However. probably Wh8n one bac other plans in mind, one may sometimes decide to use methc!ds whfch are not clean and whiab are not honest to deC8lve World public opinion. But to try to deoeive the SeCKrity CCUnCil is a bit too mucb. 62. Tbe problem of Cyprus is going to be dfscnssed in the General Assembly. The declaration of the Government of Cyprus on the minority sud human righls, to OUI knowledge. ha6 been well received. It is obvious that the Turkish Government is not pleased with tbis development. It i6 obvious that continuous peace in Cyprus is net to the advautage of the Turkish Government. It is obvious that the Turkish Government, for these or for other reasons. bas decided to see to it that tension was increased In and around C@rus. We read today in The New York Tm that the Turkish army bas been put on the alert. TO do TO save the 10,000 Turkibh Cypriots of Fa from the brutal attacks wbicb according to t sh represeutative are taking place at tbis very moment? 63. ‘Ehe NATO Council in Paris bas. beau ca&zd upon to discues the serious ad grave Auation Whicb bas resulted from th% atick5 0fth8Gre@k CgrPriOtS.

Tberefore, we bave placed aar faitb in the Wnited Nakms, in the purposes of the Wmted Natione, and in tbe prinoiples of the United Nations. 66. 1 arc ready to give any further information wbieb may be neceasary and helpful in the course of tbis debate. But I woufd lie to state emphatically ‘chat, even witb regard to theee incidents which have en place in Gypus durimg the lad few days, the me resta scgarely OR the shoulders of tbe Turkish Oovernment. We do not want incidents in Cyprus beecauae OU~ policy 1s one of untty. IL is the Turkish pdicy wl~iob is divisional and, therefore. incidents favair Tmrki& policy. This is perfectly obvious amd clear to amyone. We do not want to exterminate the Turkiah minority in Cyprus. On the contrary, we wfah tbem éo Eve in harmony with the rest of the OB an equal basis. We have offered QUF ar%atees for human rlgbts and minori~ rigbts. 67. 1 should like to conclude with one warning, and it is this. The Security Council was convened in Auguet 1964 at the request of Turkey. The NATO Council was convened at the request of Turkey in August 1964. And the bombings +bi Cyprus took place at that time. Therefore, 1 think that it is pertinent to beau thess things in mind. Y hope that the sa* pattern Will net be repeated. 1 submit that it is the duty of the Security Cou&l to se8 to it that that does not happen.

Inow cal1 upon the representative of Greece. 6% Mr. LIATIS (Greece): Although 1 had only a very rough ides of what the recent incidents near Famagusta were all about, 1 had serious doubts about tbe opportuneness and the advisability of convening an urgent meeting of the Security Council, at tbe request of the delegation of Turkey, for the purpose of considering those incidents. It was rather late when 1 wa6 first informed last evening that this meeting was being called, and 1 confess that my doubts bave been considerably strengthened since studying the Secretary-General’s report [S/6881] oirculated about two heurs ago. And my doubts bave become even stronger since hearing the statement made in the Cou&l by the representative of Turkey. TO. The Turkish version of the incidentshas been repeated with growing exaggeration and totally unexpected inflationary and inflammatory qualifications snd remarks. The United Nations is well represented on the spot in Cyprus. The Peace-keeping Force bas acquired intimate knowledge and experience of local çonditions. The Secretary-General receives reports and evaluations regularly from his Personal Representative there and also from the General in command of UNFICYP. Both General Tbtmayya and Mr. Bernardes bave the mandates, the meansandthe authority to tope with the situation, They do net appear to bave requested any additional guidance, nor bave 1 underetood the Seoretary-General to bave asked for any when he spoke a short time ago. The Security Council has already provided for such contingencies by establtshing the Peace-keeping Force there. There is little that the Council oan do now from a distance of some seven thousand miles regarding the indeed regrettable incidents which are under review this afternoon. Al1 it cari do, at best, is to keep the reports which it 1s receiving under review as they corne along. 71. However, since tbe Council 1s convened despite the doubts whicb, 1 understand, havc been expressad in various cpartera about the opportuneness and I it may wish to conaider the recent developments in a wtder conte& in order to , is apt BO est tv force6 are mmority the most s, but also to go to countsy by pkcing sim and control of reeactkhn, ad what is stiIl tb0 reaotion 082 the ather side? 75. May 1 express my wonderment at hearing my eoIIe e ârom Turkey repeating again bis Gaventment% devotion éo seekbg. as he put it. a peaoeful. just md equuitabb solution? He especiafly stressed the word “peaeefulA. 1 wander because, as we have just been reminded by the Fcrei~yninisterofCYPNs, it is none otber tban tbe Turkisb Govemnent which bas prevented us for the past seven mohtbs from nursui tbe efforts initiated by tbe Sewrity Council in seeking a just, peaceful and equitable solution of tbe pr6blem of Cypms. 76. The rapresentative of Turkey alao saw fit to Ievel fresh accusations against my Government, actually, an accusation of conspiracy, considering it a& Arlly responsfble for whatever ha8 happened an is happening in Cyprus. 1 have just received a table 4 from Athens. Thls meeting was called at such short notice that 1 was uot able to get in touch with my 77. In his letter to the Security Council, dated yesterday, [S/6877] requesting an urgent meeting of this Council, an attempt was made by the representative of ‘Furkey to show that these incidents constimted a full scale attack sustained by a11 kmds of heavy weapons, actually. a full soale attack carried out under what he called a master plan. 1 wonder how he found this out and from what source. or whether he relied on his imagination. 1 wonder how he was able, within such a short tir-ne. to find out about the master plan and also a11 the blueprints of that plan. Actually, the events which preceded the incident and those which followed show that the stage was set for an incident, and as soon as it occurred, everything was set in motion to make political capital out of it. 78. A meeting of the Security Cou&l was requeeted late last night, before anybody could obtain any reliable or objective information on the facts. The request was pressed today. in spite of the faot that tbe incident was already on the way to being settled, as the Secretary-General announced a while ago. and calm was being restored, aÿd UNFICYP, fortunatêly, ha8 the situation well in hand. 79. Reuters announced today that tbe new Foreign Minister of Turkey had corne before the Parliamentactually, before the Senate-to announce that tbe armed forces of the oountry had been alerted and were ready to take action, in view of the worsening situation in Cyprus. 1s the situation really worsening on the Island, and, if 80, how didit a11 start? Have the efforts to blow up tbe incident out of ail proportion contributed to that worsening? 80. The Greek Government has always shown confidence in UNFICYP and has contributed proportionally more tban any other member State toits maintenance. I beg to submir that in order tbat UNFICYP may retain its ftdl effectlveness. it is neoessary tbat t,te Cou&l reaffirm ita fol1 confidence in tbe ability of tbe force and its command to tope wltblooal development6 aa they arlse. The Cyprus queetion Will soon oome before the General Assembly and Will be disoussed there. wltb tbe agreament of a11 conoerned. The discussion must be aimed at adoptin~areaolut~o~ wbloh will really promote a juat, equitable andpeaceful solution. Qn tbe eve of tbis dabate, wbicb may well prove a ~nla~~~to~t~o~aytoa lasting settlement, let us not allow tbe Uaited Nations to ba sfdetracked from its main objective by an ~rt~f~c~a~ly created tension. May I express tbe bope tbat tbe members

The representative of Turkey bas asked for the floor. 1 call on hlm now.

The Council bas, of Course, been subjected once again to theusualmlsrepresentation of the Fore@ Minister of Cyprus, and to that chorus the voice of my colleague from Greece bas just been added. I wilI not go into a refutation of a11 the alIegations tbat bave been made: asMr. Kypriano” SO apUy observed, we shaH bave tlme todo that in the appropriate Committee of tbe General Assembly. However, 1 must brlefly answer some of the charges which bave been made here. 83. The first cne. of course. was the reference to my statemeut whereln 1 said that flrlng had started again thïs moming in Cyprus at nine o’clock local time. and bad slackened at eleven o’clock, but that the lwal assessment. tbe assessment of the Turklsh peopIe. was tbat it could vsry well start agalu ln the afternwn aad chat attacks could be resumed at night. That statement bas not been belied by the information wbich was SO klndIy glven to us by the Secretary- General ln the addendum to hls report[S/638l/Add.l], whlch states tbat tbe cesse-flre was ln force. 1 referred to nlne o’clock and eleven o’clock local tlme. and that would be between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. EST, SO that it 1s quite truc tbat many heurs after the tlme 1 stated the cesse-fire may bave been established, and 1 BM very glad to hear it. 84. The Iast sentence at the end of thls addend”m to the report states ln pare: “. . . aItho”gb their attitude towards lt would be judged ‘more expllcltly’ sfter nightfaII”. Tbis 1s an omlnous addltion and. in fact, confirmS the fears wblch 1 had expressed here. The ract tbat the cesse-flre bas been established cari onIy be a sou-ce of satisfaction to aII of us here. and it is to be wondered to what entent ths prospect of the meeting of thés Council was instrumental in bringlng it about. If it bas bad anv lnfhience. 1 believe that we were fully justlfied in resorting to the Couucll. 85. Tbs Foreign Mlnlster of Cyprus tried to emphasi*@ the difference between my account of the lncidents of the last few days and the account glven ln the report of the Secretarv-General. whioh WR ha,,* _ ~~~ . . . ..-_- ..- -.- before us. As a matter of fa&. 1 do net think that there la such a diverslty in the two accounts. The report of the Secretary-General, as usual. hae been drafted ln a most objective manner, but in the diplomatic lmguage and wlth the subtlety whlch are due to a diplomatie offlcer who is located on the Island. Nevertbeleee. it does not take either great lmaglnatlon or great persplcacily tc see that thls report is a severe indictment of the Greek Cypriot r6glme, a seveie indiotment for undertaking a wholesale assault on the Turklsh inhabitante of Famagueta. There bave 86. Tbere are words in this report whicb back my contention that tbls is a distinct indictment. Tbere is reference to a warnlng to tbe Turkish Cypriot leadersbip in Famagusta in paragrapb 13. A warning 1s in fact an ultimatum: it oan only eupbemistically be called a warning. It was a warning given by the commander of a far superior force to the inbabitants of an area, who were very lightly armed for their own self-defence, to gîve up tbeir defences SO that the writ of tbe Archbisbop could be effective in tbat area as well. 87. The hospital was mentioned. Again, in its diplomatic language tbe report says tbat fortifications were located on tba roof of National Guard installations inside the bospital area. In fact, tbis hosgital itself is a fortified zone. It bas gun emplacements on tbe roof and in tbe basement. 88. As to tbe assertion that tbe Turks were firing from the apartment block, tbe report clearly says tbat there was: Il.. . no evidence of firingbaving corne from tbe apartment blook” [5/6881, para. 201. 89. Tbere is another statement in paragraph 16, this time from the Director-General of tbe Greek Cypriot Ministry of the Interior wbo said that he had given instructions to tbe National Guard in Famagusta to refrain from taklng furtber military action. The words “furtber mllitary action” mean that instructions bad in fact bsen given before tbat military action sbould be taken. 90. Tbere is no need to prolong tbis matter. Tbe members of the CounciI cari read the report and cari draw their own conclusions. 1 should, however, like to dsaw attention to the lnsidious proposala contained in parapaph 12 of the report for tbe pacification of tbe &nagusta area. Again, it does nnt take too mucb pesepicacity to sec that this is a cadi for total surrender of the area. 1 believe that the Council bas sufficient e%perience in the matter to know wbat kind of reaction this 1s Iikely to provoke in tbe Turkisb community. But in case there may be some doubt a-bout it, P shotid like to read out the reply to these proposa% glven by the Vice-President of the Republic of Cyprus. Tbis reply may not bave arrived to the Secretariat intime for it to be included in the report. a is tbe result of “(31 On 2 November 1965, Greeks in Famapsta, their pkm, attaoked the Turkish mowed cam ati beavy artillery. TU+ attmk on tbe Teks contimed ~OF three days aespite tlleiF promises be United Nat.ions tbat they would stop atkacki AU tbe Turkish sreas :& swrouLpLcI&d by ek Croops wbo bave esnew positions and road blocks around TaFkish amas. ‘(4) TWb am entea of Turkish areas from moving Ill alla out are net even alh~ed éo bring in fccd sq@ies a.nd tbe neîessities of Gfe for their Lu¶aes. “(5) The Turkish l@adersh$s proposa1 for the @asing of tension aad the prevention of recurrenoe idents in Famagusta Is a* follows. ‘fg) AU Greek troops ati the armoured cars now swroundiug the Twkish areas should bewithdrawa. 2 ) All premises oceupied by the Greeks after wmber 1965 shculd be evacuated anad banded owr te Turkish omers. vi @ Tbe Greeks should withdraw te tbeir positions before 2 November 1965 in such a way tbat would restore status quo ante. ‘(9l Tbe Tnrkish areas and tbe inbabitants cannot be placed mder the control of tbe Greekpolice wbich d be contraw totbe Security Council resolutions as tbe Secretary-General in one of bis reports tt the Secwity Coumil stated, tbatthe UnitedNations cannot sot as an instrument of the Greekauthorities in blping it to extend its wthority byforce over the O(7) The removal of fortifications should be oarrfeà out in compliance with the agreement reaohed hetween the United Nations ou 15 May 1964 and in accordxnce WA the suggestions to be made by the Force Commander, General Thimayya. “(6) It shouid also be pointed out that the Greek action in Famagusta violates auotherGreekpromi%e to the United Nations because, contrary to the solemn undertaking in letiers dated 20 January and 19 February 1965 addressed to the United Nations Force Commander by the Greek MinisterofInterlor (as reported in the Secretary-General’s report of 11 IvIarch 1965) that the Greeks had no intention of ueing any imported equipment in the intercommunal conflict or to attack the TurkishCypriotc~mmunity~ ail types of imported lieavy weapons sud equipment are izeing used against the Turkish commuoity in Famagusta.” That is the reply of Vice-President Kffçtik to tbe socalled proposa18 of the Archbishop. 92. Reverting to the 11 March 1965 report of the Secretary-General. in paragraph 72 thereof he said that at the time, vThe Turklsh Cyprlots maintained that fortifications ostensibly erected as toast defences could he turned against their commuoity sud that National Guard positions and. patrols in the are8 couli threaten their free movement between Karaolos and the oity.” This is. in fa&, precisely what has happened. The fears of the Tu&s were iustified. The aareement of 15 May 1964 bas been vioiated wlthout biny oompuuctien. What reason do we bave. therefore, to hope that auy agreement would he honoured in the future by the Grëek Cypriot administration? 93. 1 bave just received a message from Ankara stating that at 1900 boum. local time. Greeks fired agaiu in the reglon of Sakaria anci Karaolos. This may be the most recent information. SO the danger is still there; it is still very much alive. 94. We have been accused of having brought the question before the Security Council for diversionarq political purposes. That is net SO, If this meeting Ml1 bave served a purpose, we shall be very happy. But the purpose of this meeting should notbe confinec to bringing about a mere cesse-fire. As Isaid earlier, it should also bave the purpose of getlingthe aggressor to withdraw to the point from which he launched hh ai-tack. 95. 1 do net think there is muoh purpose in going OI with further refutation of the points raised by tlx Foreign Minister of Cyprus. except for one point, He said that he was greatly ahocked to see thai basookae were used in the area, that he had never 96. There was some question as to whether the Turks who inbabited the so-called apartment block. which figures very prominently in this report, werefighters or gummen-1 do net ree&l what the exact expression was. But there certain& were men. womensndchlldren in that building, ami tbe children had been evacuated. If tbere were men who carried guns for their own defente they were not the only Tu&s in Cyprus who carried guns. In many of the Turkish enclaves every able-bodied Turk bas rushed. gun in hand. to the deferme of bis own cmstitutionsl rights. 97. Reference was made to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 1 am not going to go into that because, again, we shall bave ample time to discuss it in the future. But let me say that the Turks in Cyprus want the right that they now enjoy under the Constitution of tbe Republic; they do net want any rights as a bounty from anybody who bas no authority over them. 98. 1 was very happy to hear that the Greek Cyprioi administration had finally broken down and decided to allow a new shipment of Red Crescent supplies to go to the Island.. This is very good news indeed. Cne may wonder whether the timing of this cornes as an atonement for the crimes that are now being committed in Famagusta. These supplies bave been waiting to be shipped in a Turkish port for mon&. They are perishable supplies. They are food for the hungry, shelter for the needy, clothing for the approaching winter. And now finally. after a mass assault has been made on their brothers in Famagusta, some of the refugees are being allowed to receive some clothing and food items in the way food is thrown to the dogs. Nevertheless. we rmst be thankful for small mercies. 99. As for the: remarks of my colleague the Greek Ambassador, 1 really do not bave much to say. He mentioned, 1 think, the incident-which, by the way, the Foreign Minister of Cyprus qualified as a “silly” incident. 1 really think that is the height of understatement; when bazookas. mortars, artillery are used to attack 10.000 Turks. this cari hardly be qualified to be a ‘silly” incident. However. as far as this socalled incident is concerned it appears that repre- Sent&ions bave been made by the Greek Ambassador at Ankara. May 1 also add that the Greek Ambassador in Nicosia called on the Turkish Chargé d’affaires in Nicosia and eapressed his conoern over the actions of the Greek Cypriot Government and promised that he

1 now glve the flccr tc the Minlster for Foreign Affairs of Cyprus.

1 appreciate very much the fact that the representative of Turkey, in his second statement. tried to climb down as gently as he could. But he still insisted on this matter of an “onslaught”. He would now net bave us believe our own eyes. He said the report of the Secretary-General which is before us mentions a wholesale assault on the Turkish Cypriots of Famaguusta. 1 bave not found this anywhere in the report. He went on to speak of these onslaughts, of the 10,fiOO Turks who are in danger. Then, at the opening of his second statement. he said he wa6 not going to reply tc roy usual “misrepresentaticnsv-his usual phrase. Then he said that what he had attempted to state earlier was that between 9 and 11 o’olock, Cyprus time, there had been incidents, and that he was glad that there was now a cesse-fire, according to the information glven by the Secretary- General. but that he was referrlnc to the incidents that had taken place before that parti&lar time. However, in his statement-and 1 ain sure this is going to be in the record-he spcke of the onslaught which is taklng place at this very moment, according tc later information hehad received, information later than the original report that was circulated. SO there is a slight difference. 102. Then he went on to sayagainthatwhile it is true that sometimes it is important toknowwhofired first, in this particular case. inthe context of this particular situation, it is not SO important tc establish who fired first. But 1 contend that it is important, for if there were a master-plan to attack and for launching a wholesale assault uoon the 10.000 Turklsh Cvnriots of Famagusta who according to the Turkishrepresentative are at this moment in danger, how is it that the Turkish Cypriots fired first on both occasions? Did they fire first just to make pecple run away? Why did they fire first? That isthe issue before the Council today. 103. Then he spoke of the ultimatum: that ultimatum is related to the famous block of flats in Famagusta where. according to his earlier statement, there were only civilians-civiliane who, aocording to his second statement, may have had arms, hecause every single Turkish Cypriot in the enclaves, acoording to him, has arrns tc defend bis constitutional rights. SO here we have another admission. But of course this is net important. The important fact remains that the whole effort, during the morning of yesterday, centered on how to reinove the armed men from that building, or how to take away the aime from the men in that building. When the building was evacuated-and 1 trust that the Swedish Commander on the spot will be able to confirm that it was-ammunition was found in it. The representative of Turkey spoke ofthestatementwhich is included in the report of the Secretary- General and attributed to the Director-General of the 104. Then we beard about a letter or a statement- 1 did n& gather exmtly what it was-of tbe ex-Vice- President of Cypm. For a moment Ietter, or statement, OP whateves it rus. He spaks of ta Ch ons1au hemy weapms, motirs, and SO on. 10% Then there was otl2er information given to usby sh remesentative-tbat at 19.50 bours. Cypms the, thêre vas mm firing from the Greei oa. There was fir emlier today from lots at 16.30 llo in tbe Avenue of SaB&s; at 1?.P5 lmurs against the poorhouse; and in tbe afternoon Turks moved in a clandestine uuad oocupied Bwo Greek-ov&d bouses. 106. We bad na& intended mentioni but tbe Turkish rewesentative bas corne back and insisted tbat he bas-information about Greek Cypriot fiirlng. But it is thhe other way around. There is a continuous wave ofprovacation. We are gladthat tbe report of éhe Seeretary-General says thatfor some time there bas boen no firi morning, and yesterday, there was a CO of provocation. Most of these outbreaks e Turks were net replied to by the Nati its effort to exercise restraiat sud assist bath the Government and UNFICYP to brina; the situation mder contro1. 107. Tbe Turkisb representative calls the propos& of tb Govermed of Cyprus titb regard tothe situation in F8magus&a insWious proposak. Tbis is again a familim @rase wbich bas been used in the case of s.ay proposa1 put fonvardbytbe Govermnent of Cyprus. The Twkish renresentatiw srwke of the defence fortlflcatiors &. as usual. hé took exception and éried to prove that it was due to those defence fortüications tbat we now bave trouble in Famagustaand tbat nce fortifications which, as the Turkish d. bave been turned against tbem for ebetweenfortificaagainst an external me& for inter* h representative ia uld bave been left

I thînk that at this stage it might he convenient if we were to bave a short suspension in order to permit of information consultation and to consider how we might usefully and conveniently proceed further. 1 would therefore like to propose a short suspension under rule 33 of the provisional rules of procedure.

We bave before us a motion. under rule 33 of the provisional rules of procedure. that the meeting be suspended. As 1 hear no objection. the meeting Will be suspended long enough for members of the Council to exchange views on the subject uuder discussion. TBe meeting was suspended at 6p.m. asd resumed at 7.05 p.m.

We are once again confronted with a development which has disturbed the peace in Cyprus, this time in the area around the City of Famagusta. There is a background to this recent developmen?, and thesecretary- General has referred to it in hi6 report [5/6881]. which he has promptly made available to us. 114. The current difficulty starts, judging by paragraph 3 of the Secretary-General’s report, from the construction of new fortifications by the Cypriot National Guard: some of these were built against the specific advice of the Force Commander of the United Nations Forces in Cyprus. When Turkish Cypriot positions were constructed in response to this. a serious situation came about which resulted in the incidents of 2 and 4 November, described in the Secretary-General’s report. It should be apparent to the people on ihe ground that incidents of the nature we are considering here, which arise from marginal manoeuvring for military advantage, produoe repercussions vastly out of proportion t0 any possible purpose which those responsible for them might feel 1s serve& I believe that we bave the obligation to mske this clear to those concerned. 115. ~V+I Government io prepared to support any reasonable action wbioh this Counoil sees fit to take in order to make ils concern evident about tho situation in Famagusta sud to inbibit the recurrenoe Of similar urnecessary violence, The Uoited Nations han made a major effort. Many countries have made significant contributions of troops sud money tc 116. FinalIy, my Government would urge all concerned to exercise restraint and to refrain from a11 provccative activlty.

It is a matter of great ooncern to my delegatlon that we should once more be havlng to consider developments accentuating tension in Cyprus. Tbe report of the Secretary-General is also a reminder to us thatunder the authority of this Council the United Nations Force in Cyprus is constantly engaged in the work of preventing a recurrence of fighting. as is their fuuction under paragraph 5 of Council~s resolution 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964. 118. No one who bas read the report we bave just received cari fail to mark the efforts in which tha Force is ceaseiessly engaged, not only in trying to put a stop to incidents as they occur. but also in antlcipating and preventing circumstances which could lead to trouble. It seems clear to my delegation that if tbe advice of General Thimayya had been heeded, and if tbe co-operation wlth the Force for whlch the Couucil has called as recently as.‘its resolution 206 (1965) of 15 June had been forthcoming. this incident would not be the subject of our meeting today because it would net bave occurred. 119. The Couucll need only take note of paragraphs 3 and 5 of the renort to see that the chaln of events would net bave bêen set in motion had UNFICyP’s advlce been accepted at the outset. My delegation trusts profoundly that the patient and devoted work of General Thimayya. Mr. Bernardes and UNFICYP Will receive the support and co-operation that they need and tbat the Councll in its resolution of 15 June asked. We trust that the resolutions of this Counoil will continue to be strictly observed and that a11 concerned Will exercise the utmost restraint. I trust too *tit the Council would agree that we should take such steps as may continue the co-operation which is needed. 120. Tbe PRESIDENT (translated from Spanlsh): 1 give the floor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of cyprus.

1 am sorry to take the floor agaln, but 1 feel it is necessary after the short interventions of bath the representative of the United States and the representative of the United Kingdom. They spoke of the developments which, 122. The question of the defence of Cyprus is not only a matter within the authority of the Government of Cyprus. It is not only net contrary to the resolutiens of this Council; it is the duty of the Government of Cyprus. And it is the duty of ths Government of Cyprus in view of the fact that those who criticiee us for strengthening our defences do not evenproduce an alternative. Would they agree to have the United Nations undertake the defence of Cyprus? If 80, the problem of strengthening the defence of Cyprus could be considered again. 123. Let us not forget, and of this 1 would like to remind the representative of the United States, that it was American bomber6 and American bombs that were used against Cyprus. 1 think the United States representative should net even indirectly question the necessity for the Government of Cyprus to strengthen its own defences.

The Security Council has been convened today in connexion wlth the request of the Government of Turkey. As may be seen from the letter [S/6677] of the representative of Turkey, the request was motivated by renewed armed incidents in the city of Famagusta. TheSecurity Council also has before it a report of the Secretary- General on the subject. 125. We bave just heard statements by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Cyprus. and also by the representative of Turkey and the representative of Greece. The Soviet delecation cannot but exnress rearet at this new exacerbation of the situation in Cyprus>nd at the incidents that bave taken place and bave led to bloodshed. The position of the Soviet Union on the question of Cyprus is known to all. It has been stated in the Security Council many times. We deem it essential to reaffirm it anew. 126. It is to be noted again today that the question of Cyprus cari and must be resolved solely by peaceful means, wlth due regard to the principles of equity and witnout any outside interference, whatever form it might take. 127. In the situation that has developed it is particularly necessary that the parties concerned shoulci scrupulously comply with Security Council resolutiens 166 (1964) of 4 March 1964 and 207 (1965) of 10 August 1965, which. as is known, recommend thai States should refrain from any action which migh exacerbate the situation in Cyprus. 126. On the usual understanding, 1 should like tc waive the consecutive interpretation.

Having consulted members of the Council, and bearing in mind the statements of the representatives Oj Turkey, Cyprus and Greece and the reports of thc Secretary-General on the recent events in the Famagusta area, 1 think that 1 cari concludethis discussion in my capacity as President of the Security Council by appealing to a11 the parties to show the utmosi 130. Of course, tbe Council Will continue to follow the situation closely, and counts on the Secretary- General to keep ft informed of developments asuaual. 131. If tbere are no other speakers, 1 propose to adjour-n the meeting. But before doing SO 1 should like to ma!! the following announcement. After the usual consultations, it has been agreed that thenextmeeting of tbe Council Will take olace next Mondav. 3 November. I - at 10.30 a.ro. at which time the Council Will continue its consideration of the situation in Territories under Portug2ese administration.
