The President
I now call on the Secretary- General, who wishes to make a statement.
The Secretary-General
The Council has just adopted a resolution extending once again the stationing of the Unite’d Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) and requesting me to continue my mission of good offices. In this connexion, I deem it fitting to give the Council a brief account of developments over the past fortnight relating to my efforts to bring about a resumption of the intercommunal talks.

Mr. Mavrommatis
Mr. President, I should like at the outset to extend to you the heartfelt congratulations of my delegation on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of June.

The President
The next speaker is the representative of Greece, on whom I now call.
Mr. Katapodis
Allow me, first of all, Mr. President, to extend to you the warmest congratulations of my delegation upon your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of June.

Mr. Eralp
Mr. President, it gives me great pleasure to extend to you my warmest congratulations on your assumption of the presidency of the Council. In doing so, I wish tounderline the satisfaction we feel in seeing as President of the Council the representative of a country with which Turkey traditionally enjoys cordial and constructive relations in all fields.

Mr. Troyanovsky
The delegation of the Soviet Union did not object to the Council’s extending the stationing of the United Nations Forces in Cyprus for a further six-month period inasmuch as the Government of the Republic of Cyprus had given its consent to that extension. It is also our understanding that the financing of those forces in Cyprus wilI continue to be based upon voluntary contributions .

Sir Anthony PARSONS
My Government regrets that the intercommunal talks remain stalled a year after they were so briefly resumed in Nicosia. We are seriously concerned at the continuing delay. We hope that the talks will be resumed promptly. We agree with the Secretary-General that, properly used, they still represent the best available method for negotiating a political settlement of the Cyprus problem.
97. I congr…
Mr. Petree
The United States has voted to extend the mandate of
101. The United States wishes at this time to pay a tribute once again to the officers and men of UNFICYP for the exemplary manner in which they have performed their duties. The international community owes them, and the countries which have so generously contributed their services, a debt of gratitude for their unselfish service to the cause …
Mr. Leprette
My delegation’s vote today in favour of the draft resolution just adopted by the Council, extending for six months the mandate of UNFICYP, was an indication of how much it still wishes to see the problem of Cyprus settled by negotiation. But it is a
106. Nevertheless, the fact that my country wishes to see a negotiated settlement of the question of Cyprus does not mean that we regard the extensi…
Mr. Florin
The fact that the Council is today once again dealing with the question of extending the mandate of UNFICYP illustrates that the situation in the island. remains complicated. In paragraph 66 of his report to the Council, the Secretary-General states:
“In the light of the situation on the ground and of political developments, I have concluded once again that the continued presence of UNFICYP rema…
Mr. Weckman
I should like, at the outset, to express the appreciation of my delegation to the Secretary- GeneraI, for his constant efforts to bring about a resumption of the negotiations between the two Cypriot communities. He has been assisted in those efforts by the effective collaboration of three distinguished Latin Americans: Messrs. Perez de Cuellar, Galindo Pohl and Gobbi. There is no doubt that inter…
Mr. Mills
My ,delegation supported the resolution just adopted, which extends the mandate of UNFICYP. We did so because we share the view expressed by the Secretary-General in his report that the continued presence of the Force remains necessary, both in helping to maintain calm in the island, and, in crealing the conditions in which the search for a peaceful settlement can go forward.
132. But there was …
The President
I call on the representative of Cyprus, who has asked to be allowed to make a statement.
Mr. Mavrommatis
It is not my intention to reply to the individual who appears before the Council by virtue of the provisions of rule 39 of the provisional rules of procedure, or to reply to the distorted presentation of facts well known to each and every one of the members of the Council, including what transpired last weekend in Cyprus during the mission of Mr. Perez de CuCllar and the necessity for the reserva…
