Mr. Pedersen
We are all indebted to the Secretary-General for the clear, complete and perceptive report he has put before the Council. He has described in forthright language the problems which confront us all and his distinguished representative on the Island. It is evident that Mr. Osorio-Tafall has undertaken his latest assignment with energy and imagination; and we have no doubt that he, General Martola, …
Mr. Iyalla
Permit me to begin my very brief remarks by expressing my delegation’s appreciation of the highly distinguished efforts of the Secretary-General and his staff, both here and in Cyprus, and of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus, in their very difficult, delicate and even dangerous assignmeqt. The continued maintena+e of peace in Cyprus, however troubled that peace may be, is a standi…
Mr. Tine
The French delegation joined in tne unanimous vote that has just been taken, because the stationing in Cyprus of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force for a further period of six months meets the wishes of the Governments of Cyprus, Greece and Turkey.
86. In his report [S/7969] the Secretary-General has clearly stated the positive aspects of the presence of the United Nations Force in Cyprus. I…
The President
The next speaker on my list is the representative of Cyprus, to whom I now give the floor,
Mr. Rossides
The question of Cyprus in the Security Council at least has the merit of unanimity. Every time the question arises there is a unanimous decision, and in this case we, the Government of Cyprus, according to paragraph 3 of the preamble, have agreed that in view of the prevailing conditions in the Island, it is necessary to continue the Force beyond 26 June 1967.
94. Before saying anything ahout th…
Mr. Eralp
It is with great reluctance that I have asked for the floor. At a time when the principal organs of the United Nations are fully occupied with the aftermath of war in the Middle East, it would seem out of place to burden the Council with the technicalities of an issue which it has been dealing with for three and one-half years and which represents &re of the most successful peace-keeping operatio…
Mr. Liatis
I did not intend to ask for the floor except to inform the members of the Council that I am instructed by my Government to announce officially that the Greelc Government will continue to contribute to the costs of UNFICYF’ on the same level as we have done in
133. Since I have the floor, may I answer two or three points that were raised by some of the speakers who preceded me?
134. The represen…
The President
I call on the representative of Turkey.
15 1. Mr. ERALP (Turkey): I have one word. This will not take more than one minute. With regard to the legality of the Government of Cyprus, it is true that we recognize the Government of Cyprus as a rle ficro authority on the Island and we have relations with it. None the less, we have always said that it is an insurgent administration; it is not legal. T…
The President
The last speaker on my list is the representative of Cyprus, to whom 1 now give the floor.
Mr. Rossides
I only want to say a few words. First of all, I want to thank the representative of Turkey, Mr. Eralp, for having categorically stated in this Council, officially stated, that partition is a myth. We take very serious note of that. Of course, when he speaks about partition being a myth, he means also any form of partition, camouflaged in any other way.
145. But I must explain why I brought this …
Mr. Rossides
I have half a word, As regards what the representative of Turkey said about evicting the Turkish members of the Government, this is entireIy untrue. They withdrew in the sense of supporting the rebellion in December 1963. Therefore, for three and a
155. That is the position. And we would be very happy to see the return of a spirit of co-operation in the unity of the country, without divisive pro…
