Mr. Rossides
Mr. President, I wish, in the first place, to thank you and the members of the Council for inviting me to participate once again, on behalf of my Government, in the discussions on the item.

We feel certain that your high qualifications, your diplomatic skill and your exp…

Mr. Papoulias
Mr. President, it gives me great pleasure to extend to you my warmest and most sincere congratulations on your accession to the Presidency of the Security Council for this month. Your high qualifications, your authority and prestige, as well as your vast experience in United Nations affairs constitute the best guarantee that this debate will be concluded successfully. It is particularly gratifyin…
The President
The riext speaker is Mr. Atalay. I invite him to take a place at the Council table and to make his statement.
35. Mr. ATALAY: Mr. President, I would thank you and, through you, all the members of the Council for having given me the opportunity to speak today in order to present to the Council the Turkish Cypriot views on, the current state of the Cyprus problem. I would also express
37. On this…
The President
The next speaker is the representative of Turkey, on whom I now call.
63. However, I should like to put it on record that the Turkish C!ypriot side is giving its consent to the extension of the rnandate of UNFICYP and is ready, as it has always been, to resume the intercommunal talks under the auspices of the Secretary-General on the basis of the Denktag-Makarios guidelines of 12 February 1977 […
Mr. Eralp
Mr. President, I should like to congratulate you warmly upon your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of December and to express to you our deep appreciation for the efficient and tactful manner in which you have conducted the consultations in connexion with the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus. In paying a tribute to your w…
Mr. Kharlamov
The delegation of
77. The Security Council recently discussed the Cyprus problem in substance and adopted a resolution expressing itself deeply concerned at the lack of progress in the solution of the Cyprus problem and calling for the implementation of its earlier resolutions on Cyprus.
78. From the very beginning of the outbreak of the crisis in Cyprus the Soviet Union has consistently mainta…
The President
I thank the representative of Canada for his statement and for the kind words addressed to me. I should like to recall on this occasion that it was he who laid the groundwork for the resolution that we adopted here this evening.
Mr. Harriman
We have carefully read the report of the Secretary-General. Nigeria has always supported the extension of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus, as everywhere else. But I cannot fail on this occasion, as in the past, to reiterate that peace-keeping should not become logistic support for military occupation and intervention, 1 have said this again and again, in reference to Korea, in re…
Mr. Robinson
I am not going to follow those who have spoken once again on the broader issues. We had ample substantive debate in the Council as recently as last month, and I see nothing useful to be added to that today.
96. My Government is happy to renew this mandate for a further six months. It hopes to maintain the British contingent at approximately its present strength for the next six months, and we sh…
Mr. Leprette
Last June, a few hours late, we renewed the mandate of the United Nations Force in Cyprus. We stated then that the situation was regrettable and we pointed out the dangers. Today, thanks to the wisdom of the parties and to your ingenuity, Mr. President, we have reached a decision in time and that is a matter for satisfaction.
99. In the report he submitted on 1 December, the Secretary-General st…
Mr. Rossides
It is not my intention to disturb this atmosphere of congratulations, good wishes and good words in exercising the right of reply. I merely wish to say that my entire statement was simply a statement of facts. There was no implication whatever against anyoneeither person or State. But if facts themselves constitute an accusation-and they are true-of course the other side becomes offended. But tha…
Mr. Eralp
In the first place I should lie to associate myself whole-heartedly with the congratulations addressed to our colleague, Ambassador Papoulias, who is on his way to Ankara, the capital of my country. We are greatly honoured to have such a distinguished dipIomat and such an able and charming person coming to our country. I know that he will contribute a great deal to the solution not only of the pr…
Mr. Harriman
I do not want to waste any of the Council’s time on polemics. I merely wish to say that members of the Council were probably amused, when the representative of Turkey claimed that Nigeria had becomle a tool of Cyprus. If he had listened carefully, he would know that I said that Nigeria would never support the la&ding of forces in any country to protect another country’s interests and would never …
The President
The next speaker, who also wishes to exercise his right of reply, is the representative of Kuwait, to whom I give the floor.
Mr. Bishara
My delegation hopes that the resolution just adopted will contribute to t!rc prumotion of a just peace in Cyprus.
pation. I am happy that that representative has stated tl>at
140. My delegation wishes the representative of Greece the best of luck in his new assignment. His new assignment is a challenge indeed, and we are certain that he will successfully face it. It is also an eloquent testimon…
The President
The next speaker, again exercising his right of reply, is the representative of Turkey, to whom I give the floor.
Mr. Eralp
I shall be very brief. I cannot blame Mr. Rossides for pouring out the self-generated venom in his heart on this last occasion. He has addressed a number of questions to me: do 1 deny this or do I deny that? At this late hour my reply will be monosyllabic: yes.
The President
I have been informed that Mr. Atalay wishes to make a further statement. With the concurrence of the Council, I invite him to take a place at the Council table and to make his statement.
147. Mr. ATALAY: Mr. President, thank you for allowing me to take the floor for a second time. You have heard Mr. Rossides again and again. He added nothing to the wisdom of the members of the Council, nor to th…
