Gist of Ambassador Eralp's statement before the plenarymeeting of the General Assembly on 19 November 1979

Ambassador Eralp developed his statement along threemajor lines:

a) reiterating the Turkish side's support for the inter-communal talks as the only way to obtain a viable solutionto the Cyprus problem;

b) stressing the Turkish Government's objective asnot being the partition of the island of Cyprus;

c) alleging that the Greek Cypriot side has neither

the intention nor the interest to engage in a substantialnegotiating process.

In the course of his speech, Ambassador Eralp madethe following statements which pertain to the presentdebate in the General Assembly:

"The Turkish Government...gives unqualified supportto the mission of good offices of the Secretary-General.

"provisions that would lead to the internationalizationof the question render the present draft resolution evenmore unrealistic and will inevitably have devastating effectson the intercommunal negotiating process. In short, it isa draft likely to delay the solution of the problem sinceit fails to recognize the fact that all aspects of theCyprus question fall within the purview of the intercommunalnegotiations.

"Thus it is not realistic to call for the implementationof those resolutions in all their aspects without takinginto account subsequent developments /Vienna Agreements,the Makarios-Denktash guidelines and the ten-pointagreement of 19 May 1979/."

I have the honour to enclose herewith a letter dated 6 November 1979 addressedto you by Mr. Nail Atalay, the representative of the Turkish Federated State ofCyprus.

ANNEX

Letter dated 6 November 1979 from Mr, Nail Atalayto the Secretary-General

At the outset of my letter I would like to put on record that we are not atall happy with this endless exchange of letters and counter letters between theTurkish and Greek sides. We are of the opinion that it is all a waste of time andmaterials especially of the Organization. Not much will "be achieved by the litanyof accusations and counter accusations. These only poison the atmosphere andhinder the process of negotiations which you are doing everything possible toencourage between the representatives of the two communities.

In this spirit and upon instructions from my Government I have the honour torefer to the letter circulated as a document of the United Nations (A/3^/6U7-8/13605) on 2 November 1979 and signed by Mr. Andreas Mavrommatis as the so-called"Permanent Representative of Cyprus to the United Nations" and answer his baselessallegations:

1. As Your Excellency is well aware, in May 1975 the representative ofthe International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), who had been sitting withthe sub-committee on humanitarian matters, informed the sub-committee thatICRC's help on humanitarian matters "since the beginning of its action inCyprus was intended to be a temporary one which would come to an end once thephase of emergency was over". This phase is now over. In spite of this, thepractice of exchanging Red Cross messages - without stamps - was allowed tocontinue while a great number of Greek Cypriots living in the north used thenormal postal services of the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus (TFSC) tosend and receive letters and parcels from abroad. The message-stationaryused by the Greek-Cypriot side is the property of the Tracing Agency of ICRCwhich terminated its activities in Cyprus more than four years ago.Furthermore, the communication activities within TFSC came up for examinationwhen the Greek-Cypriot side tried to cut off all the Turkish Cypriots from allpostal communication by its unconstitutional, untimely and discriminatingmove at the Universal Postal Union. It was then decided that the exchange ofmessages was not warranted and should have been discontinued long ago. Nocountry in the world allows ICRC procedures and stationary to be used - freeof charge - in circumstances of normality which prevails in Cyprus four yearsafter the ending of the activity of ICRC.

2. As regards the so-called "enclaved Greek Cypriots" one only has tolook at the relevant parts of Your Excellency's last three reports to theSecurity Council, including the most recent one, to discover the falsehood ofthe Greek-Cypriot accusations regarding the living conditions of these people.The extracts below, taken from Your Excellency's report to the SecurityCouncil (S/129̂ 6, paras. 35-37) are further confirmation of this fact:

A/3V659S/13609EnglishAnnexPage 2

"35. Medical care available to Greek Cypriots in the north is as goodas that provided to Turkish Cypriots in the same area ...".

"36. In regard to agricultural activities, there are no major complaintsabout freedom of movement, Greek Cypriots continue.to have access alsoto fields at some distances from their villages."

"37. As indicated in my last report, there appears to be no restrictionon freedom of worship in the north whenever the services of a priestare available."

Similar remarks with regard to the living conditions of the Greek Cypriots inthe north are also made in Your Excellency's most recent report to the SecurityCouncil (S/13369, paras. 28, 29 and 3k):

"28. IMFICYP continues to discharge humanitarian functions and to promotenormalization of the living conditions of the Greek Cypriots remainingin the north. Temporary visits to the south for family reasons havecontinued to be made possible on an ad hoc basis, both directly andthrough the good offices of UNFICYP ..."

"29. All transfers (from north to south) continue to be monitored byUNFICYP to ensure that they have been undertaken voluntarily."

"3̂ . No restrictions of freedom of worship in the north have beenreported for the period under review."

It is obvious, therefore, that the Greek-Cypriot Administration cannot createa case out of living conditions of the Greek Cypriots residing in the north. Itis also evident from the same statements of the Greek-Cypriot residents themselvesthat their living conditions in the north are perfectly satisfactory, and couldeven be better if the subject were not exploited by the Greek-Cypriot leadershipfor propaganda purposes, causing apprehension and psychological stress amongstthese people.

I should be grateful if this letter were circulated as a document of theGeneral Assembly, under agenda item 21, and of the Security Council.

Your Excel 1ency,

At the outset of my letter I would l i k e to put on record that

we are not at all happy with this endless exchange of letters and

counter letters betv/een the Turkish and Greek sides. We are of the

o p i n i o n that it is all a waste of time and materials especially of

the Organization. Not much w i l l be achieved by the litany of accusations

and counter accusations. These, only poison the atmosphere and hinder

the process of negotiations which you are doing everything p o s s i b l e to

encourage between the representatives of the two communities.

In this spirit and upon instructions from my Government I have

the honour to refer to the letter circulated as a document of the

United Nations (A/34/647-S/13605} on 2 November 1979 and signed by

Mr. Andreas Mavrommatis as the so-called "Permanent Representative of

Cyprus to the United Nations" and answer his baseless allegations:

1. As Your Excellency is well aware, in May 1975 the represen-

tative of ICRC who had been sitting with the sub-committee on humani-

tarian matters informed the sub-committee that the ICRS's help on

humanitarian matters "since the b e g i n n i n g of its action in Cyprus was

intended to be a temporary one which would come to an end once the

phase of emergency was over." This phase is now over.' In spite of this,

Excel 1ency,

I have the honour to enclose herewith a letter dated

6 November 1979 addressed to you by Mr. Nail Atalay, the

representative of the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus.

the practice of exchanging Red Cross messages - without stamps -

was allowed to continue while a great number of Greek Cypriots

l i v i n g in the north used the normal postal services of the Turkish

Federated State of Cyprus (TFSC) to send and receive letters and

parcels from abroad. The message-stationary used by the Greek

Cypriot side is the property of the Tracing Agency of ICRC which

terminated its activities in Cyprus more than 4 years ago. Furthermore,

the communication activities w i t h i n the TFSC came up for examination

when the Greek Cypriot side tried to cut off all the Turkish Cypriots from

all postal communication by its unconstitutional, untimely and

d i s c r i m i n a t i n g move at the UPU. It was then decided that the'exchange

of messages was not warranted and should have been discontinued long

ago,, No country in the world allows ICRC procedures and stationary

to be used - free of charge - in circumstances of normality w h i c h

p r e v a i l s in Cyprus four years after the e n d i n g of the activity of ICRC,,

2 „ As regards the so-called "enclaved Greek Cypriots" one only

has to look at the relevant parts of Your Excellency's last three

reports to the Security Council, including the most recent one, to

discover the falsehood of the Greek Cypriot accusations regarding the

l i v i n g conditions of these people. The extracts below, taken from

Your Excellency's report to the Security Council (S/12946 of

1 December 1978) are further confirmation of this fact:

Paras. "35. Medical care a v a i l a b l e to Greek Cypriotsin the north is as good as that p r o v i d e dto Turkish Cypriotsin the same area..."

"36. In regard to agricultural activities, thereare no major complaints about freedom ofmovement, Greek Cypriots continue to haveaccess also to fields at some distances fromt h e i r v i l l a g e s . "

"37. As indicated in my last report, there appearsto be no restriction on freedom of worshipin the north .whenever the services of a priestare a v a i l a b l e . "

S i m i l a r remarks with regard to the l i v i n g conditions of the Greek

Cypriots in the north are also made in Your Excellency's most

recent report to the Security Council (S/13369 of 31 May 1979):

Paras. "28. UNFICYP continues to discharge humanitarianfunctions and to promote normalization of thel i v i n g conditions of the Greek Cypriots remainingin the north. Temporary visits to the south forfamily reasons have continued to be made possibleon an ad hoc basis, both directly and through thegood oTfices of UNFICYP..."

"29. All transfers (from north to south) continue to bemonitored by UNFICYP to ensure that they have beenundertaken voluntarily."

"34. No restrictions of freedom of worship in the northhave been reported for the period under review."

It is Obvious , therefore, that the Greek'Cypriot Administration cannot

create a case out of living conditions of-the Greek Cypriots residing in the north.

It is also evident from the same statements of the Greek Cypriot residents

themselves, that their l i v i n g conditions in the north are perfectlyr

satisfactory, and could even be better if the subject were not exploited

by the Greek Cypriot l e a d e r s h i p for propaganda purposes, causing

apprehension and psychological stress amongst these people.

consideration.

N a i l AtalayRepresentative ofthe Turkish Federated Stateof Cyprus

TO: STROHAL

FOR; SECRETARY-GENERAL

FROM: FEREZ DE CUELLAR

DATE: 22 AUGUST 79

NUMBER STR525-8.

UP-DATE OH THE CYPRUS INITIATIVE.

1. THE REPLY OF BOTH SIDES TO THE INITIATIVE FOR THE RESUMPTION OF THE

INTERCOMMUHAL T4LKS HAS ONLY BEEN CONVEYED ON 21 AUGUST AND 22 AUGUST.

MR. DENKTASH HAS MAINTAINED HIS POSITION, THAT THE NEW APPROACH, IN SO

FAR AS IT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO HIM VERBALLY BY MR. GALJDNDO-POHL, DOES

NOT FULFIL THE REQUIREMENT OF HIS COMMUNITY; NAMELY, THE UNEQUIVOCABLE

CONFIRMATION OF THE CONCEPT OF "BIZONALITY", NOR THE CONCEPT OF SECURITY

AS AGREED UPON, IN HIS VIEW, BY ARCHBISHOP MAKARIOS BN TWELVE FEBRUARY

1977. IN OTHER WORDS, MR. DENKTASH HAS MAINTAINED THE POSITION THAT ONLY

IF THE CONCEPTS OF "BIZONALITY" AND SECURITY ARE ACCEPTED "WITHOUT BEING

ERODED IN ANY WAY", THEN THE TALKS CAN RESUME.

2. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE TURKISH CYPRIOT LEADER AND TURKISH

FOREIGN MINISTRY OFFICIALS IN ANKARA HAVE MADE IT KNOWN THAT IN THEIR VIEW THE NEW

APPROACH DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE EVENHANDED. THIS IMPLICATION IS ALSO

CONTAINED IN THE TALKING PAPER WHICH-WAS READOUT TO MR. GALINDO-POHL IN

NICOSIA ON 21 AUGUST SŶ HE.DIENKTASH.

3. THE GREEK CYPRIOT SIDE HAS SHOSEN TO DISREGARD OUR PRESENTATION OH

THE CONCEPT OF SECURITY AS BEING REFERRED TO BOTH COMMUNITIES, BY STRESSING

THAT THESE MATTERS CONCERN "THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS AS A WHOLE AND ALL £P

ITS CITIZENS".

4. PRESIDENT KYPRIANOU HAS MADE IT CLEAR BOTH THROUGH PUBLIC STATEMENTS

AND DURING CONSULTATION WITH UN OFFICIALS THAT HIS SIDE ITENDS TO PURSUEA

THE GOAL OF INTERNATIONALIZATION OF THE CYPRUS QUESTION. FOR THE CYPRUS

GOVERNMENT, IT WAS INDICATED TO MR. GALINDO-POHL, THAT IT HAD BECOME A

" MURT" TO GO TO HAVANA.

5. IN THE LIGHT OF THE RESPONSE OF THE TWO SIDES, WHICH WAS EMERGING EVEN BEFORE

THE OFFICIAL RESPONSES WERE CONVEYED, IT WAS THOUGH APPROPRIATE TO KEEP

THE MEMBERS OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL INFORMED OF THE CURRENT EFFORTS OF THE

SECRETARY-GENERAL ON THE ISSUE. ALL MEMBERS, PERMANENT AMD NON-PERMANENT,

HAVE THEREFORE BEEN BRIEFED AND HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR THANKS FOR HAVING BEEN

KEPT INFORMED AND THEIR SUPPORT TO THE PRESENT EFFORT. SOME HAVE TAKEN

PARALLEL DIPLOMATIC ACTION IN THE CAPITOLS CONCERNED IN SUPPORT OF THE

INITIATIVE.

6. IN THE LIGHT OP THE DIFFICULTIES WHICH THE T¥© SIDES SEEM TO HAVE WITH

THE WORDING CHOSEN TO PRESENT THE NEW INITIATIVE, SOME AMENDMENTS HAD BEEN

DEVISED IN ORDER TO BRIDGE THE GAP. THIS HAD BEEN MADE POSSIBLE ALSO BY

THE FACT THAT MR. GALINDO-POHL HAD NOT HANDED TO THE SIDES ANY WRITTEN

PAPER. HOWEVER, WHEN FIRST APPROACHED ON 22 AUGUST, PRESIDENT KYFRIANOU DID NOT FIND

THE AMENDMENTS HELPFUliT ALL. MR. DENKTASH WILL BE APPROACHED ON THE SAME

GROUND ON 23 AUGUST.

7. IT IS WORTHWHILE NOTING THAT ON 22 AUGUST IN THE COURSE OF AN

INTERVIEW WITH A FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, MR. DENKTASH CALLED FOR AN

IMMEDIATE INFORMAL MEETING BETWEEN HIMSELF AND PRESIDENT KYFRIANOU WITH

THE PARTICIPATION OF OTHER LEADERS OF THE TWO COMMUNITIES UNDER THE

CHAIRMANSHIP OF MR. GALINDO-POHL. HE COMMENTED ON HIS PROPOSAL BY SAYING

THAT " SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE VERY QUICKLY" IN ORDER TO OVERCOME

DIFFICULTIES. WE HAVE NO OTHER INFORMATION, NEITHER FORMAL NOR INFORMAL

OF THIS PROPOSAL.

8. THE GREEK CYPRIOTS SEEM MORE AND MORE ATTRACTED BY THE FORTHCOMING

INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS; INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE DRAFT RESOLUTION BEING PREPARED

FOR THE NON-ALIGNED COUNTRIES CONFERENCE WILL BE CONSIDERED ANOTHER

"SUCCESS" FOR ;••:?. PRESIDENT KYPRIANOU. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT is WORTHWHILEUOTHfiC THAT DESPITE SEVERAL DEMARCHES MADE IN ANKARA BY PERMANENT MEMBERS

OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL IN SUPPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL'S INITIATIVE,

THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT HAS CHOSEN NOT TO ADVISE MR. DENKTASH TO SOFTEN

HIS ATTITUDE. MR. ECEVIT'S PARTY'S UNCERTAIN PROSPECTS IN THE FORTHCOMING

PARTIAL ELECTIONS OF 14 OCTOBER BAY HAVE A ROLE IN THIS MATTER. ENDIT

APPENDIX

Letter dated 1 September 1979 from Mr. Fazil Kuquk tothe Secretary-General

It is with grave concern that I am following your efforts to have theintercommunal talks resumed. The Greek Cypriot propaganda campaign to the effectthat the Turkish Cypriot side has caused a rupture in the talks by puttingpreconditions seems to gain ground in the absence of an equal chance for theTurkish Cypriots to be heard at international fora, numerous are letters andmessages by me to the United Nations Secretariat from 19̂ 3 onwards - during mytenure of office as the Vice-President of Cyprus - pointing out that any decisiontaken in the absence of the Turkish Cypriot community would not be binding on it.It is because of this apparent injustice to the. Turkish Cypriot side that theGreek Cypriot authorities prefer one-sided propaganda and resolutions frominternational fora to serious and sustained negotiations at the intercommunallevel. It is a pity that no one is pointing out to the Greek Cypriot leaders theutter incompatibility of their present efforts at international fora with theletter and spirit of the agreement of 19 May 1979- Each and every resolutionwhich the Greek Cypriots have one-sidedly secured from various international forain the past and which they endeavour to get now and hereafter is a well-calculatedassault on the' concept for intercommunal agreement which they have seeminglyaccepted at summit conferences only to negate at the next international meeting.

Each year the Greek Cypriot side chooses to resort to international fora asa means for prolonging the settlement of the Cyprus problem and they use theone-sided and unrealistic resolutions which they get from those conferences asnew reasons for delaying the settlement for another year. This vicious circleis achieving a rather permanent pattern and the condemnation of Turkey (forhaving saved the Turkish Cypriot community and the bi-national independence fromutter destruction) has become a sine qua non of their one-sided resolutions.

The late Archbishop Makarios, whose conspiracy with the Government of Greecein 1963 led to the formation of secret armies which launched their pre-plannedattack 'On the Turkish Cypriots on 21 December 1963, is on record for havingstated that the Greek Cypriots will not sign any agreement which bars Enosis(union with Greece) and that he will consent to the change of status of "theGovernment of Cyprus" only for Enosis. He saw no reason to conceal that to eachand every government in Greece he had offered Cyprus and that union with Greececontinued to be his unchanged goal for the fulfilment of which he had taken a"holy oath" in 1950 which he had never violated.'

"The Government of Cyprus" which Archbishop Makarios was ready to forego ifonly Enosis was achieved was the Greek Cypriot wing of a bi-national governmentwhich he had destroyed by force of arms in I960 and thus usurped the rights ofthe co-partner Turkish community. This grotesque Greek Cypriot Administration,which violated every single article of the human rights convention from 1963

A/3UA62S/1353̂EnglishAnnexPage 3

to 197̂ 5 has now been taken over by Mr. Kyprianou, who declares that he isfollowing the footsteps of his leader Archbishop Makarios .

The Turkish Cypriot community has defied the unconstitutional rule ofArchbishop Makarios from 1963 to 197̂ and has resisted the coup by the Greek Juntathus saving its members from common graves only with the legitimate interventionby Turkey. The presentation of facts by the Greek Cypriot aggressors to theinternational fora is grossly distorted. It will be impossible to solve theCyprus problem as long as the United Nations permits this distortion to continue ininternational fora. ,

Turkish and Greek Cypriots have lived a,s two distinct nationalities in Cyprusfor four centuries without intermixing, each guarding its national and religiouscharacteristics and institutions, each having its own language schools, separatecultures and traditions. Greek Cypriots always regarded themselves as Greeksand aspired at uniting the island with Greece while the Turkish Cypriots resistedthis policy of union with Greece and claimed the right of reversion to Turkey incase of a change of sovereignty over the island. Few people know that GreekCypriots never ruled the Turkish .Cypriots in kdO years of coexistence and theyhave no moral, legal or political right to do so now short of an intercommunalagreement for the re-establishment of a partnership government which they hadwilfully destroyed in 1963 and refused to re-establish until this day.

In short, the chronological events of Cyprus are:

1571-1878 Turkish rule in Cyprus.

1878 - Administration of the island handed to Britain, Ottoman's retaining theright of sovereignty. The two communities live under British rule retaining theirseparate identity.

- Great Britain unilaterally annexes the island. Turkish Cypriots aredeclared to be alien enemies by Britain which, with the help of Greek Cypriots,begins oppressing the Turkish Cypriots. The Turkish Cypriots who were thedominant elements in the island begin to wane economically and otherwise becausetheir leaders are put into prison, etc.

Greek Cypriots vie with each other in harassing the Turkish Cypriots.

Between 191̂ -1923 many Turkish Cypriots are forced to leave the island.

During these years the Turkish community's plight is enormous. But for eachmovement by Greek Cypriots to materialize Enosis Turkish Cypriots immediatelymake a counter move. Enosis for the Turkish Cypriots is permanent loss of hope forfuture liberty and freedom; for the Greek Cypriots liberty and freedom can only beachieved by union with Greece.

A/3UA62S/13531*EnglishAnnexPage U

1931 - Greek Cypriots revolt for Enosis.

Stringent measures adopted by Britain hit the Turkish community very hard.

All Enosis leaders are expelled and all Enosis propaganda is prohibited.

- At the end of the Second World War Enosis leaders are allowed toreturn to Cyprus and the prohibition on Enosis movement is lifted.

An upsurge of Enosis activity by the Greek Cypriots is countered by anupsurge of demand by the Turkish Cypriots for putting an end to such activities orelse for returning the island to its ex-owner Turkey.

1950 - Archbishop Makarios takes the "holy oath" to unite the island withGreece.

- In agreement with the Greek Government the Archbishop clandestinelybrings to Cyprus terrorists and war material under the leadership of thenotorious Colonel Grivas and puts all church funds at the disposal of terroristsfor achieving Enosis.

Self-government or independence are declared to be "traps for destroyingEnosis" and all those who wish self-government or independence are labelled"traitors to the national cause".

1 April 1955 - MOKA launches its terrorism which lasts until 1958. Duringthese four years hundreds of Turkish Cypriots are murdered; 6,000 Turkish Cypriotsare forced to flee from 33 villages where all Turkish properties are destroyed.Enosis is the war cry, "death to the Turkish Cypriots" is the national flag underwhich Greek Cypriot youth is trained. Turkish Cypriots form their own undergroundorganization and retaliate in self-defence. Greece supports the Greek Cypriotsin political propaganda and materially. As the death-toll of Turkish Cypriotsbegins to rise Turkey becomes acutely concerned.

Turkish Cypriot resistance to Greek Cypriots and Turkey's growing concernleads to a compromise solution.

1959 - Zurich and London agreements are signed. A partnership Republic isborn in I960.

1960 - Archbishop Makarios, who has become the President of a bi -nationalState, categorically states that the aim is still Enosis. He aims at abolishingthe I960 agreements, which prohibit Enosis and guarantee intercommunal accord.He sets up secret armies.

1963 - Greek Cypriot offensive begins when the Turkish side rejects theArchbishop's offers to amend the Constitution.

103 Turkish villages are evacuated under Greek Cypriot threats and attacks .

A/3VU62S/1353!*EnglishAnnexPage 5

Thirty thousand Turkish Cypriots "become refugees for 11 years. All Turkish Cypriotelements in the partnership government are ejected by force of arms and TurkishCypriots declared to be a rebel community just because it refused to succumb tothe unorthodox and unconstitutional rule of terror by the Greek side!

Twenty thousand Greek mainland troops are clandestinely imported into theisland. Harassment of Turkish Cypriots, denial of all human rights continueunabated until

The coup leads to Turkey's intervention and Turkish Cypriots find peace inCyprus for the first time in 11 years .

In 1975 an exchange of population agreement is reached between the two sidesand all those who wish to move to their sector are helped by UHFICYP to do so.All Turkish Cypriots, save 150, who had suffered the indignities and terror,injustice and hardship of living in a Greek Cypriot dominated area for 11 yearsand who had known no day of peace, free from fear or anxiety, chose to move northto the liberated sector. All Greek Cypriots, save about 2 ,,000, eventually movedsouth to the Greek sector.

In the light of these realities the four -point summit agreement of 1977reached between the leaders of the two communities foresaw a bi-zonal, bi-communalnon-aligned federal republic'. ' This was confirmed in the summit meeting of19 May 1977-

Greek Cypriot leaders, however, proclaim that they will revert Cyprus topre-197̂ days (i.e. armed dominance over the Turkish Cypriots at all costs)through a policy of long struggle. Contrary to the summit agreements referred toabove, they continue one-sided propaganda at international fora and attempt todeceive the world at the expense of the rights and freedoms of the TurkishCypriot community.

I wish to put on record my anxiety at the continued sufferance of theGreek Cypriot side to attempt to deceive the world at large and at the unrealisticresolutions which seem to spurt from international organizations at the beg andcall of the Greek Cypriot side. The treatment by the international world body ofthe aggressor as the aggrieved can bring no peace and justice to Cyprus .

Let us hope that truth and reality will one day triumph over a decade-oldGreek propaganda.

I shall be glad if you kindly have this letter circulated as a UnitedHations document .

NOTE FOR THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON \JCONVERS AT I ONWITH THE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF TURKEY ON

22 JUNE 1979

Mr. Akiman, the Charge d'Affaires of the PermanentMission of Turkey, outlined the point of view of theTurkish side concerning the recent developments in theintercommunal talks as follows:

1. The Turkish side has no intention to dragout the intercommunal talks. It sincerelydesires a meaningful and result-oriented

> dialogue.

2. There is no question of drawing back fromthe Denktash-Kyprianou agreement, or fromthe principle that priority is to be givento the question of the resettlement ofVarosha.

3. However this attitude does not mean thatthe Turkish side will take upon itselfobligations concerning Varosha without anunderstanding between the two communitieson certain minimum common denominators.The Denktash-Kyprianou agreement does notlend itself to such an interpretation.

4. if the Greek side persists in its presentattitude, it will not be possible to achievethe desired progress in a short period oftime.

Mr. Akiman explained that when Mr. Onan mentioned theprinciples of bi-zonality and security, Mr. loannides saidthat it was not acceptable to add anything to the fourguidelines and to the ten-point agreement of 19 May 1979?that "bi-zonality" and "security" had been deliberatelyomitted from the guidelines and could therefore not beconsidered as a binding part of the basis for the intercommunal

talks. in the Turkish view, this meant that any substantiveTurkish Cypriot proposals which invoked bi-zonality andsecurity would ipso facto be rejected by the Greek Cypriotson the grounds that they used a different basis from theone that had been accepted on 19 May.

Mr. Urguhart gave an account of the Secretary-General'sreply to Mr. Onan's inquiry and explained that bi-zonalityand security had been implicitly accepted by Greek Cypriotspokesmen, whose statements to that effect were on record.There would be no difficulty about submitting proposalswhich were guided by these concepts; but it would causegreat difficulties to ask the Greek Cypriots to acceptthese concepts in the abstract as additions to the ten-point agreement or the guidelines. Mr. Perez de Cuellarwould be returning to New York for consultations on 23 June.The Secretary-General would discuss with him ways andmeans of getting around this difficulty, which should notbe an insuperable one, and returning the talks to the rightcourse. Mr. Akiman would also no doubt be talking toMr. Perez de Cuellar next week.

Dear Mr. Secretary-General,

Acknowledging receipt of your message dated June 5th,1979

concerning the issue of " Missing parsons " in Cyprus, I

would like to inform you that its contents have been transmitted

to the attention of H.E. President Denktas,.

President Denktas has reaffirmed that the matter is

before the Council of Ministers of the T F S C with his

favourable recommendations.

As the Government of the Turkish Federated State of

Cyprus has been seized of the matter, it would naturally be

impossible for me to interfere with this process. I? however,

approached President Denktas, suggesting the consideration of

this important question with due urgency.

I will also venture to urge Your Excellency to send a

personal message to President Denktas, for the same purpose.

Please accept, Mr. Secretary-General, the assurances of

my highest consideration.

Dear Mr. Ambassador,

I should appreciate it very much if you wouldtransmit the following message to His Excellency Mr.Bulent Scevit, Prime Minister of the Republic ofTurkey, at your earliest convenience:

"Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

As the date set for the resumption ofthe intercommunal talks on Cyprus approaches,1 feel increasingly concerned over the delayin finalizing the agreement regarding theCommittee on Missing persons. As you know,agreement on this subject x\?a.s reached atthe high-level meeting in Nicosia on13-19 May on the basis of a compromiseformula that I put forward in pursuance ofmy good offices mission. Under this proposal,it would be understood that 'the representativeof the Secretary-General to be appointedin the pursuance of General Assemblyresolution 33/172 will, in reaching a bindingindependent opinion, act in consultationwith the parties.' In my view, this textshould fully safeguard, the position of theTurkish Cypriot side. Mr. Denktash, whileaccepting my suggestion, undertook tosubmit it to his appropriate authorities.My Special Representative has since beeninformed by Mr. Denktash's office that ithas not yet been possible to arrive at aconsensus on this matter.

I am concerned, that any further delayin finalizing the agreement would have anadverse effect on the atmosphere of theforthcoming intercommunal negotiations. May

His ExcellencyMr. Orhan EralpPermanent Representative of Turkeyto the United Nations

I therefore convey this personal appealto you, Mr. Prime Minister, to exert yourinfluence with a view to having theNicosia agreement on this matter finalized,so as to make it possible for this tragicproblem to be settled and to remove a sourceof discord, on the eve of the resumption ofthe intercoramunal talks.

Please accept, Mr. Prime Minister,the assurances of mv hicrhest consideration.

NOTE FOR THE FILE

The Secretary-General spoke to the Ambassador of Turkey

today regarding the possibility of rejection by Mr. Denktash

of the compromise formula concerning missing persons in

Cyprus. He felt that such a rejection would inevitably

have an adverse effect on the prospects for the resumption

of inter-cominunal talks and urged that the Turkish government

should use its influence with the Turkish-Cypriot leadership

to have the compromise formula accepted.

The Secretary-General expressed the view that as

Special Representative had to act in consultation with two

parties the position of both sides was fully protected and

there should not be any apprehension that any arbitrary action

could be taken. The Turkish Ambassador promised to convey

the Secretary-General's request to his government/

TURKISH PERMANENT MISSIONTO THE UNITED NATIONS

Orig.ooc Mr. Jonah for action

cc: Mr. Davidson

The Permanent Representative of Turkey to the United

Nations presents his compliments to the Secretary General of

the United Nations and with reference :to the latter' s note of

March 26, 1979, seeking consent for the extension of the terra

of office of Mr. Nxizhet Kandemir, Deputy Director of the

Division of Narcotic Drugs, regrets to inform him that although

the Turkish Government would not have hesitated to second his

services at the United Nations beyond the date of the expiration

of his term of appointment, the current legislation of Turkey

does not allow a further extension of his leave of absence fro:n

Government service. The experience he has gained at the United

Nations will be extensively utilized at the Turkish Ministry of

Foreign Affairs.

While not being able to extend the leave of absence of

>r.r. Kandenir, the Turkish Government has decided to offer the

services of another Turkish diplomat, Mrs. Filiz Dingraen, Director

of the Department of International Organizations at the Ministry

of Foreign Affairs, and submit her candidature for the same post

:-;hich will be vacated by Mr. Kandemir.

H.E. Dr. Kurt WaldheimSecretary-General of theUnited Nations

- 2 -

Turkey's membership in the relevant organs of the

United Nations is an evidence of her close interest in

international efforts for narcotic drugs control. An opium

grower itself, the measures it has taken recently have been

most effective in conrolling illicit opium growing and

trafficking. The assistance it has received from the United

Nations to enhance its efforts has been most valuable.

As head of the Department in the Ministry of Foreign

Affairs directly responsible with the coordination of interna-

tional efforts and the many programmes and projects sponsored

by the United Nations, Mrs. Dingmen has contributed to the

successful implementation of the many decisions taken at the _.•>•••,.'•-:'•'«•'.''

United Nations. The wide experience, . she has gained as head ^

of the International Organizations Department, as well as during

her earlier carreer both representing Turkey at several

international' fora and serving at a regional economic organiza-

tion, make her eligible to serve in an international organization

at a different capacity.

As it will be recalled the Turkish Government

attaches great importance to being represented.at the higher

•.echelons of the Secretariat. Therefore, Mrs. Dingmen's appointment

.to -the United Nations Division of Narcotic Drugs will not only

do justice to a competent candidate from Turkey who has proven

herself during the many years she has served at the Ministry of

- 3 -

Foreign Affairs but will also assist in maintaining the present

level of Turkish representation at the United Nations Secretariat.

Furthermore, her candidature should also be considered

within the context of the many resolutions adopted by the

General Assembly advocating an increase in the number of women

in the Secretariat.

The curriculum vitae of Mrs. Dingmen is enclosed.

The Permanent Representative of Turkey avails himself

of this opportunity to renew to the Secretary-General of the

United Nations the assurances of his highest consideration.

May 7, 1979

Your Excellency,

I have the honour to draw Your Excellency's attention

to the statement made by the Greek Cypriot representative in

the Social Committee of the ECOSOC on. 4 May, 1979 in which,

inter alia, he referred to the General Assembly resolution

33/172 of 20 December 1978, concerning the question of missing

persons in Cyprus and he claimed that his administration has

been trying to establish the investigatory body as envisaged •

in that resolution.

As Your Excellency will recall, when this matter was

discussed in the Third Committee on 12 December, 1978, the

Permanent Representative of Turkey had sought the opinion of

the Legal Advisor on the following questions:

"1. Does the Legal Counsel think that a GeneralAssembly resolution can confer the role ofcompulsory arbitrator upon the Secretary-General or his representative in the absence,of the explicit consent of both parties andeven of the Secretary-General himself?

H. E. Dr. Kurt WaldheimSecretary-GeneralUnited Nations OrganizationNew York

- 2 -

2. Has there been any precedent to this effect?

3. Will such a provision be in conformity withthe established international practice?"

The following is the text of the letter of the Legal

Counsel of 15 December, 1978, in answer to his queries, later

addressed to the Your Excellency in writing:"Dear Mr. Ambassador,

"In reply to your letter of 13 December 1978 to the

Secretary-General, in which you requested an answer by

the Legal Counsel to several questions, I have the honour

to attach these answers.

The answers read as follows:

"Before responding to the questions raised by the

Permanent Representative of Turkey in his letter addressed

to the Secretary-General dated 13 December 1978, it is

useful first of all to characterize the particular procedure

which is envisaged in the resolution adopted by the Third

Committee. The 'investigatory body1 to be established by

this resolution is in the nature of an ad hoc body of

inquiry or fact-finding rather than of arbitration or

judicial settlement. The procedure, in other words, is

diplomatic, not juducial, in nature. It follows from this

that the assimilation of this body to a process of

arbitration is not appropriate. It is clear, however, that

the procedure envisaged has the purpose of settling a

dispute, a term which in its widest sense may be understood

as a disagreement on a point of law or fact. All dispute

settlement procedures, whether diplomatic or judicial, are

based on the consent of the parties. In the light of the

foregoing, it is possible to formulate the following

answers to the questions raised:

"1. In the absence of the explicit consent of both

sides, the General Assembly cannot confer upon the

Secretary-General the role of a compulsory arbitrator.

- 3 -

".2. There is no precedent for conferring such a role

upon the Secretary-General in the absence of the consent

of the parties.

"3. Established international practice in the

matter of dispute settlement attaches primacy to the

consent of the parties. Such consent must be express and

not implied."

Furthermore, I indicated in my letter dated 13 December,

1978 which was circulated as an official document of the General

Assembly and of the Security Council (A/33/499 and S/12967 of

13 December, 1973)/ the Turkish Federated Stated of Cyprus on

several occasions has announced its readiness for the establish-

ment of an investigatory body with the participation of the

International Committee of the Red Cross as envisaged in General

Assembly resolution 32/128 of 14 December, 1977, adopted without

a vote. While the framework provided by this resolution, adopted

with the consent of the parties directly concerned still remains

valid, the recourse of the Greek Cypriots to the United Nations

seeking a new resolution which excludes the International

Committee of the Red Cross, the only competent institution in

the question of missing persons, has been a clear demonstration

of their real intention to exploit this humanitarian issue for

their petty political interests.

I would like to reiterate in this connection that the

Turkish Cypriot side, while not considering itself bound by

resolution 33/172 for the above mentioned reasons, is still

willing and ready to implement resolution 32/128 with the

participation of the International Committee of the Red Cross

_ 4 -

and it is my ardent hope that the Greek Cypriot side will

abandon its negative attitude and agree to the establishment

of the committee so that this humanitarian question can be

settled once and for all.

I should be grateful if this letter were circulated as

a document of the Economic and Social Council, under item 5,

Human' Rights Question, and of the Security Council.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my

highest consideration.

TURKISH FEDERATED STATE OF CYPRUS

PRESIDENTS OFFICE

(Lefkosa, Mersin 10, TURKEY)

19 April 1979

Your Excellency,

I have the honour to invite your attention to a

Greek Cypriot gathering, held on the occasion of the Greek

Independence Day on 25 March 1979, at the Hellenic Cultural

Centre in Nicosia, which was attended by the prominent

members of the Greek Cypriot Community, including Mr. Spyros

Kyprianou, the President of the Greek Cypriot Administration,

Archbishop Chrisostomos and Greek Cypriot Ministers, during

the course of which Byzantine music and marches were played,

chauvinistic speeches were delivered and most astounding of

all, the oath taken by Archbishop Makarios, General Grivas

and their accomplices in Athens on 7 March 1953 for the

creation of the EOKA underground terrorist organisation, with

the purpose of uniting Cyprus with Greece, was read aloud and

repeated by the audience.

I wish, herein below, to quote the EOKA oath and also

put on record that at a time when strenuous efforts are being

concentrated on the resumption of the inter—communal talks,

fanatical displays of this kind are not at all conducive to

the peaceful settlement of the problem and merely nourish the

suspicion that the Greek Cypriot leaders have not abandoned

the implementation of the Akritas plan for the complete

destruction of the bi-communality of the Cyprus state. The

Akritas plan was circulated as a Security Council Document

and its significance is quite clear.

His Excellency Dr. Kurt Waldheim,Secretary-General of the United Nations

OrganisationNew York.

— 2 —

The EOKA Oath taken by Archbishop Makarios

"I take the oath on the Holy Spirit not to disclose

anything I know or I shall hear about the ENOSIS struggle

even if it costs me my life or even if I am subjected to

the greatest tortures. I shall obey all orders given to

me without questioning them."

At the same gathering the Under-Secretary of the

Ministry of Education of the Greek Cypriot Administration,

Mr. Hadjistephanou, delivered an inflammatory speech and among

other things he reiterated that "vindication" of the Greek

Cypriots was only possible if the Greek Cypriots followed the

course of their "national ideals". In the words of late

Archbishop's memoirs these "national ideals" were summarised

repeatedly from 1960 until his death to be nothing but the

union of Cyprus with Greece. The Under-Secretary then pointed

out that "Cyprus Hellenism" could only preserve its national

identity by sticking to "national values and ideals" and by

remaining "faithful" to their history.

A more significant statement was made by Mr. Spyros

Kyprianou on 10 April 1979 at the school of Law and Economics

of Salonica University where 14 years earlier on 11 May 1965

Archbishop Makarios had publicly reaffirmed that "Enosis is

the Goal". 14 years later, Mr. Kyprianou at the same

University publicly declared that Archbishop's address of

11 May 1965 "is as valid to-day as it was then". (Cyprus Mail,

April 11, 1979).'

It is pertinent, therefore, to quote Archbishop's address

of 11 May 1965 in more detail inorder to understand the full

implications of the message which Mr. Spyros Kyprianou has

been passing to "the world of Hellenes". Here are relevant

extracts from Archbishop's address of 19S5 which, Mr.Kyprianou

has underlined to be as valid to-day as it was then:

"The steady aim and ultimate goal of the struggle

of the Cypriot people is the union of Cyprus to the

Greek motherland... No power whatsoever can divert us

from the way leading to Enosis... We shall struggle onuntil the dream of Enosis becomes a reality... The

heart of the nation beats now in Cyprus. It is there

that the Greek race is conducting its new struggles.

It is there that the shrine for new sacrifices has been

erected. There, is written the new national epic."

n^

And from 1963 to 1974 Archbishop Makarios with the help

of people like Mr. Kyprianou conducted "the new struggles of

the Greek race" inorder to achieve Enosis by destroying the

bi-national character of the Republic of Cyprus!.

Mr. Kyprianou, 14 years later, has publicly declared

that struggle "of the Greek race for Enosis" continues to be

as valid to-day as it was in 1965.

I have no reason at all for doubting that this happensto be the sincere belief and conviction of Mr. Kyprianou, whoon 21 June 1966, when he was the Foreign Minister of the

Greek Cypriot Administration had publicly declared that thestatus of independence could be all the better utilized for

achieving union of Cyprus with Greece and, I quote:

"The second important question which I have considered

expedient to refer to, is the status of Cyprus state. The

strange view is at times expressed that, since Enosis is

the • objective, maintenance and strengthening of the

existence of the Cyprus state within an entity and a

policy of its own is a handicap and that, Enosis would be

facilitated if the Cyprus State were to lose its status."

He then elaborated and said:

"I do not think there is a need for many arguments

or for a detailed analysis for one to prove and convince

that by strengthening the status of the Cyprus State both

at home and abroad, the national goal of Enosis is promoted:

Your Excellency, I have no doubt whatsoever that outcries

of this sort, at this most delicate phase of the Cyprus ques-

tion, cannot be regarded as anything other than an attempt to

nurture the discord between the two communities and, they

certainly aim at sabotaging the efforts to bring the two sides

to the negotiating table.

I should be grateful if this letter were circulated as

a document of the General Assembly, under the item entitled"Question of Cyprus," and of the Security Council.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of myhighest consideration.

Your Excellency,

Upon instructions from my Government I have the honour torefer to the letter dated 15 March. 1979. (A/34/120-S/13170) addressedto Your Excellency by Mr. Andreas Mavrommatis, the so-called "Perma-nent Representative of Cyprus to the United Nations" regarding violations .of the airspace of the Republic of Cyprus by Turkey. I

IThe following is the text of the statement issued by the j

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Defence and Tourism of the Turkish Fede-rated State of Cyprus about the military exercises of the Turkish-Peace Force in North Cyprus: i

|!

"Military exercises which are now taking place in ithe territory of the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus 'are the routine exercises of the Turkish Peace Forceand are carried out in accordance v/ith a scheduled prog-ramme, about which prior notification is always provided >to the UNFICYP authorities in Cyprus.

"The devious Greek Cypriot allegation that the Turkish jair force is, for the first time, taking part in such jexercises, is a lie and does not portray the truth. Such '••exercises have been taking place, with the consent of theappropriate authorities of the Turkish Federated State of ;Cyprus, ever since the coming, in compliance with inter-national treaties, in 1974 of the Turkish Peace Force tothe rescue of the Turkish Cypriots who were in imminentdanger of total annihilation by the Greek and Greek Cypriotforces, who had conspired to unite the island with Greece.

H.E. Dr. Kurt WaldheimSecretary - General ofthe United Nations

NEW YORK

"By sending protest notes to the Secretary-Generalof the United Nations, Mr. Rolandis thinks that he canstill run his writ over the territory of the TurkishFederated State of Cyprus. He should rather awaken him-self to the reality that they are no longer the mastersof the whole of Cyprus and instead, come to terms withthe existing reality that the island of Cyprus belongsboth to Turkish and Greek Cypriot Communities.

"Indulging in propaganda warfare, especially at atime when efforts are being made to bring the two sidesto the negotiating table, clearly demonstrates the ill-intentions of the Greek Cypriot side which is trying tofind excuses in order to avoid the intercommunal talks."

I should be grateful if this letter were circulated as adocument of the General Assembly, under item 21 of the preliminarylist, and of the Security Council.
