Security Council Resolutions 353 (19741, 354 (1974), 355 (1974), 357 (1974), 358 (1974) and 359 (1974)
Distr, SECURITY GENERAL s/11459 COUNCIL 19 August 1974 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH LETTER DATED 18 AUGUST 1974 FROM THE PERMANENTREPRESENTATIVE OF GREECE TO THE UNITED NATIONS ADDRESSEDTO THE SECRETARY-GENERAL The Government of Turkey officially announced acceptance of the cease-fire in Cyprus called by Security Council resolutions 353 (19741, 354 (1974), 355 (1974), 357 (1974), 358 (1974) and 359 (1974). The cease-fire was to be effective at 1200 Cyprus time, Friday, 16 August 1974. The Government of Cyprus accepted this cease-fire by an official announcement of its Acting President, Mr. G. Clerides. In the course of 27 days it was the third time the Turkish Government was accepting a cease-fire called by the Security Council, only to violate it. In spite of the fact that this last Turkish announcement was accompanied by a declaration of the Turkish Prime Minister according to which "all Turkish military goals on the island have already been achieved", new fighting erupted today and new Turkish advances are reported in the island. In view of this chronic situation, I thought it advisable to procure the Council, through Your Excellency, with a compound list of Turkish violations since the first cease-fire was accepted by the Turkish Government, effective 22 July, at 1400 hou&-s Greenwich time, two days after the Security Council called for it: -Violations after the cease-fire of 22 July 1974 22 July: At 4.4.5 ~.m. LT, units of the Greek contingent were fired at in Chati by Turkish jets. At 4.4,5 p.m. LT, units of the Greek contingent were fired at at the Trahona (Nicosia) by Twkish aircraft.
