The President
I shall now call on those representatives who wish to explain their votes.
Mr. Bennett (United States of America)
I think that little needs to be said here. The facts’ as we know them and as we have just heard them from the Secretary-General speak for themselves, and they are sombre enough for all of us. The cease-fire in Cyprus, agreed to yesterday by all the parties, is not being observed. The guns are still firing, the innocent are still dying. 22. The Ankara Government, yesterday morning, declared that …
The President
I call on the representative of Greece.
Mr. Panayotacos (Greece)
Because of the urgent convening of this meeting, I did not have the time to prepare any written statement. Therefore, I shall be very brief. It would, after,all, ‘be a pure waste of time to indulge in words when immediate acts are needed. After all, the documents already circulated speak for themselves. Unfortunately, one of my letters has not yet been circulated, so may I be permitted to read an…
The President
I call on the representative of Cyprus.
Mr. Rossides (Cyprus)
We have now a new situation again tonight, and we have to comment on it. It is a fact established by the Secretary-General that there were very grave violations of the cease-fire yesterday, and today there are more. 38. The representative. of Greece has sent a list of the violations, and they have been borne out by the Secretary-General. It is obvious that there has been a considerable extension…
Mr. Olcay (Türkiye)
Mr. President, I am indeed grateful to you for convening this meeting at 9 p.m. instead of 8 p.m., because it would have been most difficult for me and the other members of my delegation to come here earlier-despite the most efficient assistance offered by the United States Mission, for which I publicly thank it-in view of the harassment by Greeks who have since yesterday made my office a rallyin…
Mr. Richard (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland)
I fear this debate is perhaps taking a. somewhatpredictable form. We had from the Secretary~General this evening a sombre and an unsettling report. We have had from the representatives of Greece and Cyprus, and Turkey itself, charge and counter-charge, accusation and counter-accusation. It is perhaps for the Council now to grasp hold yet again of the central facts of the situation as we are faced…
The President
I call on the representative of Cyprus.
Mr. Rossides (Cyprus)
The purpose of my intervention here is, first of all, to express my deep appreciation to the representatives of the United Kingdom and of France for their very relevant and constructive statements in the debate. 94. The purpose of my original intervention was not to level any accusations against Turkey-other than the fact that it has broken the cease-fire. And, in that connexion, we did not hear…
Mr. Jankowitsch (Austria)
A few moments ago, in the same spirit of unanimity and also with the same sense of urgency as last Saturday, the Council -with a brevity which I believe is indicative of its determination-reaffirmed resolution 353 (1974). It has addressed another urgent appeal to all parties to the present fighting to comply immediately with paragraph 2 of that resolution calling for an immediate cessation of all…
