INTRODUCTION

1. Since my report of 22 May 1974 on the United Nations operation in Cyprus for the period 2 December 1973 to 22 May 1974 (S/11294) and the adoption by the Security Council of resolution 349 (1974) of 29 May extending the stationing of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force (UNFICYP) for a further period ending 15 December 1974, a number of far-reaching events have taken place in the island. As requested by the Council in paragraph 7 of its resolution 353 (1974) of 20 July, I have reported to the Council, as appropriate, on the development of the situation and on the activities of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force, including l emergency humanitarian assistance to the afflicted population (S/11353 and Add.1-33, · S/11433, S/11468 and Add.1-4, S/11473, S/11488 and Add.land 2). On a number of occasions I reported to the Security Council orally on urgent developments. !_I The ,~ present report on the United Nations operation in Cyprus should be read in conjunction with the above-mentioned reports.

I. THE SITUATION IN CYPRUS FROM 23 MAY TO THE COUP D'ETAT OF 15 JULY

2. The intercommunal situation was generally quiet during May, June and early July. Only minor incidents occurred, mainly in the Nicosia and Famagusta districts. Tension within the Greek Cypriot community increased during June and early July, although the military situation remained quiet. During this period UNFICYP took special precautions to ensure, so far as possible, that intercommunal relations were not directly affected by intracommunal incidents.

II. OUTLINE OF EVENTS FROM THE COUP D'ETAT OF 15 JULY TO THE CEASE-FIRE OF 16 AUGUST 1974

3. On 15 July 1974, the National Guard, under the direction of Greek officers, staged a coup d'etat against the Cyprus Government headed by President Makarios. In view of the seriousness of the matter in relation to international peace and security and in view of the United Nations involvement in Cyrpus, I requested the President of the Security Council on 16 July to convene a meeting of the Council ( S/11334). The Permanent Representative of Cyprus also requested a meeting (S/11335). The Council met on 16 and 17 July. On 20 July, the Turkish Government, invoking the Treaty of Guarantee of 1960, launched an extensive military operation on the north coast of Cyprus which resulted eventually in the occupation of the main Turkish Cypriot enclave north of Nicosia and areas to the north, east and_west of the enclave, including Ifyrenia. The Security Council met on the same day and ·adopted resolution 353 (1974) in which it called upon all parties for a cease-fire and an immediate end to foreign military intervention, requested the withdrawal of foreign military personnel present otherwise than under the authority of

1/ S/PV.1779, 16 July 1974; S/PV.1781, 20 July 1974; S/PV.1782, 22 July 1974; S/PV.1783, 23 July 1974; S/PV.1784, 24 July 1974; S/PV.1785, 27 July 1974; S/PV.1787, 29 July 1974; S/PV.1788, 1 August 1974; S/PV.1793, 15 August 1974; and S/PV.1794, 16 August 1974. I ••. s/11568 English Page 3

• international agreements and called on Greece, Jurkey and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to enter into negotiations without delay for the observance of peace in the area and constitutional government in Cyprus. The cease-fire called for by the Council was secured at 1600 hours local time on 22 July.

4. The fighting resumed however on 23 July, especially in the vicinity of Nicosia International Airport, which, with the agreement of the local military commanders of both sides, was declared a United Nations protecteo_ area. and was occupied by UNFICYP troops. I reported to the Council on the situation concernin~ the observance of the cease-fire and sent messages to the Prime Ministers of Turkey and Greece and to the Acting President of Cyprus, expressing my great anxiety and requesting measures to ensure obser.vance of the cease-fire. The Council on 23 July adopted resolution 354 (1974) reaffirming the provisions of resolution 353 (1974) and demanding that the parties comply immediately with paragraph 2 of that resolution.

5. At the 1784th meeting of the Security Council, held in the evening of 24 July, I informed the Council about the assurances I had received from the Prime Minister of Turkey that, without prejudice to its contentions as to the legality of the United Nations presence at the Nicosia airport, the Turkish Government undertook not to attempt to assume possession of the airport by force or other means of coercion.

6. The Council met again on 27, 28 and 29 July to consider the situation in Cyprus. In addition to the Turkish advance towards Karavas and Lapithos, only minor movements forward within the walled city of Nicosia were noted in the period 30 July-13 August, although there were numerous cease-fire violations by shooting.

7. In accordance with paragraph 5 of Security Council resolution 353 (1974), the Foreign Ministers of Turkey, Greece and the United Kingdom held discussions in Geneva from 25 July 1974, and on 30 July they agreed on the text of a declaration and an attached statement. These were conveyed by the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom to the Secretary-General, who, in turn, forwarded them to the President of the Security Council (S/11398). At the 1788th meeting of the Council on·31 July, I expressed the hope that this agreement would be the first step to the full implementation of resolution 353 (1974), and I referred to the functions which the Declaration envisaged for UNFICYP. The Council met on this subject on 31 July and again on 1 August, when it adopted resolution 355 (1974) requesting me "to take " appropriate action 11 in the light of my statement of the previous day. I immediately instructed niy Special Representative and the Commander of UNFICYP to proceed with the full implementation of the role of UNFICYP as provided in resolution 355 (1974); on 10 August I reported to the Council on the efforts made in this connexion (S/11433; see also S/11353/Add.20). In my reports to the Council, I also referred to the work of the military committee, consisting of officers from Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom, which had been formed under the Geneva Declaration to delineate the c~ase-fire positions on the ground. That committee reported to the Geneva Conference when it resumed its discussions on 12 August, but those discussions ended without agreement on 14 August.

8. On the morning of 14 August, a second Turkish military operation was started, resulting in the occupation of most of the northern part of Cyprus from Xeros to Famagusta. I . .. S/11568 English Page 4

9, The Security Council met in the early hours of 14 August and adopted resolution 357 ( 1974) demanding that all parties to the fighting should cease all firing and military actions and calling for the resumption of negotiations. However, the fighting in Cyprus continued almost without let-up, and on 15 August the Security Council adopted resolution 358 (1974), insisting on the full implementation of its preceding resolutions and on immediate strict observance of the cease-fire. The Council also adopted resolution 359 (1974) in which it deeply deplored tha fact that members of UNFICYP had been killed and wounded, demanded that all parties fully respect the international status of UNFICYP and refrain from action that might endanger the lives and safety of its members, and demanded further that all parties co-operate with UNFICYP in carrying out its tasks, including humanitarian tasks, in all areas of Cyprus and in regard to all sections of the population. In the evening of 16 August the Turkish forces declared a cease-fire, which appeared to hold. On the same day, the Security Council adopted resolution 360 (1974), recording its formal disapproval of the unilateral military actions undertaken against the Republic of Cyprus and urging the parties to comply with all the provisions of its previous resolutions and to resume without delay the negotiations called for in resolution 353 (1974).

III. SUMJYIARY OF UNFICYP OPERATIONS FROM THE COUP D'ETAT OF 15 JULY TO THE CEASE-FIRE OF 16 AUGUST 1974

10. As a consequence of the events outlined in the preceding section, UNFICYP was faced with a new situation that was not foreseen in its mandate. As laid down by the Security Council in its resolution 186 (1964), the functions of UNFICYP were conceived in relation to the intercommunal conflict in Cyprus, not to large­ scale hostilities arising from action by the armed forces of another Member State which was a guarantor Power under the 1960 treaties. The paragraphs below give an account of the response of UNFICYP to those developments.

11. On 15 July, as soon as the coup d~etat was reported, UNFICYP was immediately brought to a high state of readiness. Additional liaison officers were deployed at all levels, and increased observation was maintained throughout the island in all areas of likely intercommunal confrontation. It was not necessary to carry out any redeployment of the Force, but certain special measures were taken to ensure the security of the Turkish Cypriot community. A few cases of firing into the Turkish enclave north of Nicosia were reported; the firing was stopped through liaison with the National Guard.

12. On 20 July, the morning of the Turkish landings, UNFICYP was placed on full alert. An increased level of observation was maintained throughout the entire island, and additional precautions were taken to safeguard isolated Turkish ,i Cypriot villages. The National Guard reacted to the Turkish operations by strong attacks in other parts of the island against most of the Turkish Cypriot quarters and villages simultaneously. The best UNFICYP could achieve under the circumstances was to arrange local cease-fires to prevent further damage to life and property, as the Turkish Cypriot fighters, who were mainly deployed to protect isolated villages and town sectors, were heavily outnumbered. When the war situation made it

I ... s/u568 English Page 5

necessary on 21 July to evacuate foreign nationals to the Sovereign Base Area at Dhekelia, UNFICYP played a major part in the mounting and execution of that humanitarian operation. In all areas, including the Kyrenia sector, intensified United Nations patrolling was carried out, a close watch was maintained over the battle zone and all possible efforts were made to promote the safety of civilians. As indicated in paragraph 3 above, negotiations between the parties resulted in agreement on a cease-fire with effect from 1600 local time on 22 July.

13. UNFICYP ende.avoured to assist the parties in making the cease-fire effective and in delineating the positions of the parties as at 1600 hours on 22 July. Additional United Nations observation posts were established in the confrontation areas, and extensive patrolling was carried out in order to maintain a United Nations presence throughout the island. The developments with regard to the Nicosia International Airport are described in paragraphs 4-5 above. Efforts to reach an agreement on the repair and reopening of the airport are continuing.

14. During that period, reinforcements from the contributing countries were requested by the Secretary-General, and those arrived between 24 July and 14 August (S/11433, para. 21), increasing the total strength of the Force by 2,078 all ranks to a total of 4,444. UNFICYP was redeployed to meet the new situation, and two new operational districts were established on either side of the Turkish bridgehead. In the rest of the island no major redeployments were necessary, but all districts were reinforced, and the general level of surveillance throughout the island was increased accordingly. Owing to the suffering caus_ed by the hostilities, UNFICYP undertook an increasing number of humanitarian tasks to assist the afflicted population of both communities.

15. Following the breakdown of the Geneva Conference early on the morning of 14 August, all contingents were warned that further la.rge-scale hostilities were imminent. The fighting resumed during that day. Armoured reconnaissance units of UNFICYP maintained observation over the battle zone wherever possible. Throughout 14 August, UNFICYP continually tried to bring about a further cease-fire, particularly within the Nicosia area. During the night from 14 to 15 August, a partial cease-fire was achieved in Nicosia to allow non-combatants to be evacuated, but by the early morning of 15 August, fighting again broke out. On the night from 15 to 16 August, a further cease-fire was achieved in the Nicosia area. Throughout this period illJFICYP made a major effort to prevent intercommunal fighting, •· but it was unable to do so in certain combat areas where UNFICYP posts had to be withdrawn. In a few such areas, killing of civilians took place. Afte~ further cease-fire negotiations, the Turkish forces declared a cease-fire at 1800 hours local time on 16 August.

IV. UNFICYP OPERATIONS FROM THE CEASE-FIRE OF 16 AUGUST UNTIL 5 DECEMBER 1974

A. Concept of operations

16. In the area under National Guard control, UNFICYP has continued to operate in accordance with its functions as delineated in Security Council resolution 186 (1964). The maximum possible surveillance has been maintained over that area, .. with particular emphasis on the lines of direct confrontation between the National .. Guard and the Cyprus police on the one hand and the Turkish Cypriot fighters on the other. Every effort has been made to ensure the security and safety of Turkish Cypriot villages and quarters.

17. In the areas of confronta,tion between Turkish forces and the National Guard, UNFICYP has tried pragmatically to maintain surveillance over the cease-fire, to report any cases of movement forward of existing lines and, as far as possible, to restrain the parties from violations. In those areas, the maximum vigilance is being exercised, and wherever possible observation posts have been established between the forward positions of the opponents. In addition, extensive patrolling has been carried out to maintain the United Nations presence and improve United Nations surveillance. To the north of the confrontation lines, in the part of the island under Turkish military control, UNFICYP operations have, for the most part, been limited to assisting in humanitarian work and, where possible, to contributing to the security of the Greek Cypriot population.

18. Finally, all contingents have been directed to support and assist the humanitarian relief operations conducted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), UNFICYP itself and the International Committee of the Red Cross ( ICRC) .

B. Liaison and co-operation

19. Liaison with the Cyprus Government, including the National Guard and the Cyprus police, was maintained satisfactorily with only minor interruptions during and immediately after the coup d'etat. Liaison with the Turkish Cypriot leadershi~ has been working well. Liaison was also established, after some difficulty, with the headquarters of the Turkish forces several days after the • Turkish intervention. This liaison is now improving, and regular meetings are to be held at the Chief of Staff level.

20. At the local level, especially in sensitive areas, UNFICYP has endeavoured to set up effective liaison arrangements with both parties in order to help maintain the cease-fire and prevent the escalation of incidents. Problems concerning liaison and co-operation have been encountered with the Turkish forces, especially in the Famagusta and Lefka districts. UNFICYP is making continuous efforts to improve the situation, and during the latter half of November some improvement was noted.

I . •• S/ll568 English Page 7

C. Maintenance of the cease-fire

21. Immediately after the cease-fire on 16 August 1974, an intensive patrolling programme was carried out by UNFICYP to establish and record the forward limits of the positions of both sides. A surveillance system of observation posts and patrols was then established to monitor all military activity, with particular emphasis on the sensitive areas. There are now 130 observation posts located in the south and 36 in the north.

22. Since the cease-fire, units of UNFICYP have negotiated a large number of local cease-fire agreements, especially in the Nicosia area. To ease the situation in Nicosia, a proposal by UNFICYP to establish a neutral area between the two parties is being discussed.

23. To ensure the security and well-being of the Turkish Cypriot population in the south, special United Nations detachments have been stationed in the vicinity of all Turkish Cypriot or ·mixed villages, and extensive daily patrols are covering those areas. However, efforts to afford similar security to the Greek Cypriot population in the north have not so far proved effective because of restrictions imposed by the Turkish forces on the estabiishment of posts and on the freedom of movement of UNFICYP patrols.

D. Violations o.f the cease-fire by shooting incidents

24. Although there is still an average of 27 shooting incidents every day, there has been a steady decline in such violations both numerically and in intensity over the past two months. Major exchange~ of small-arms fire have tended to give way to the odd rifle shot, except for the night of 21/22 October, when a serious fire fight took place in Nicosia. It is in the Nicosia area, particularly in the diplomatic quarter in the north-west of the city, and in the areas adjacent to the northern part of the old walled city, that the majority of shooting violations now occur. In the rural area, shooting incidents have also frequently occurred in the Pyroi/Louroujina area, as well as in parts of Lefka district. When shooting incidents have occurred, the local United Nations units have always attempted to ascertain the facts and bring about a cease-fire through prompt negotiation. Subsequently, suitable protests have been lodged with the offending party . .. E.- Violations of the cease-fire by movement; construction of defensive positions

25. After the adoption of Security Council resolutions 357 (1974) of 14 August and 358 (1974) of 15 August, forward positions were advanced from time to time. UNFICYP endeavoured to limit such advances by establishing additional observation posts and seeking to persuade the party responsible to return to the positions held by it at 1600 hours on 16 August.

I •.• S/11568 English Page 8

26. In a number of cases, UNFICYP's observations in this regard were heeded, and the advancing troops were withdrawn. In other cases, areas occupied after 16 August are still being held. This applies in particular to Turkish advances in late August in the Pyroi area, in September in the G~llini area, from late September to mid-October north of the Dhekelia Sovereign Base Area, in late October south of Famagusta in the Dherinia area, and, most recently, in the Yerolakkos area west of Nicosia. There have also been some National Guard violations by movement which have been observed and dealt with by UNFICYP.

27. Since the cease-fire, both sides have consolidated their defensive positions, ..,. especially along the line of direct confrontation which marks the limit of the area under Turkish control. The extensive improvement of fortifications by both sides has tended to crystallize the military confrontation and to make future withdrawals or redeployments more difficult to negotiate.

F. Mines

28. In the construction of their defensive positions astride the confrontation area, both sides have laid and are continuing to lay substantial anti-personnel and anti-tank minefields. Regrettably, neither side appears to be complying with normal international military procedures for marking minefields; nor is UNFICYP able to confirm that the minefields laid by either side are properly and accurately recorded.

29. The large-scale use of mines in Cyprus is a cause of grave concern and in years to come may lead to unfortl.J.Ilate casualties as it did in the tragic accident on 12 November, when an Australian UNFICYP civilian policeman and a Turkish Cypriot civilian were killed and five others wounded,. including children.

30. A special operation is now being undertaken by UNFICYP 'to record in outline those areas which are known to have been mined by either side. Later, it is hoped that both sides will agree to co-operate with UNFICYP in recording in greater detail the location and composition of their respective minefields. Separate discussions have taken place between UNFICYP and the National Guard and Turkish Cypriot authorities as well as the Turkish forces, with a view to obtaining their co-operatic~ on the recording of minefields. Meanwhile, widespread mine-laying by both sides continues. • G, Freedom of movement of UNFICYP

31. Since the start of the Turkish intervention UNFICYP has, in general, been restricted in its freedom of movement in areas controlled by the Turkish forces, and in several cases the Turkish military authorities have demanded the removal of UNFICYP observation posts and camps from such areas. On 29 July, UNFICYP was requested to remove all its personnel and posts from the area under Turkish control, but the matter was resolved following discussions between the Prime Minister of Turkey and myself. In its resolution 359 (1974) of 15 August 1974, the Security Council demanded that all parties co-operate with UNFICYP in carrying out its tasks, including humanitarian functions, in all areas of Cyprus and in regard to all sections of the population. / ... s/11568 English ~age 9

32. Since the adoption of resolution 359 (1974) and the entry into effect of the cease-fire of 16 August, UNFICYP has made vigorous efforts to promote the safety and well-being of the civilian population of both communities who found themselves in territory under the military control of the other side. Those efforts, which have involved the establishment of observation posts, intensive patrolling and the dispatch of convoys of humanitarian relief supplies and medical assistance, necessarily have required UNFICYP to exercise its freedom of movement.

33. In the southern area, UNFICYP has generally succeeded in safeguarding the Turkish Cypriot population, except during the few days of large-scale fighting in July and mid-Ausust, when the personnel of some illJFICYP posts had to be temporarily withdrawn. Since 16 August, illJFICYP has established its presence in, or frequent patrols to, Turkish Cypriot villages and quarters in the south (see para. 23 above); it has kept the Vice-President's office informed of their requirements, helped to dispatch food and other supplies to them, provided escorts, arranged for the evacuation of the sick and the tracing of missing persons. In the northern area the restrictions imposed by the military authorities have made it difficult to carry out some of these tasks. In response to my representations to the Government of Turkey, UNFICYP humanitarian teams distributing UNHCR and other relief supplies were granted access to the northern area, especially after mid-October, provided they were accompanied by a Turkish Liaison Officer. Since that time there has been a gradual relaxation of restrictions. However, UNFICYP continues to be denied permission to set up observation posts or to arrange military or police patrols. The inability of the Force to provide the same protection for Greek Cypriots in the north as for the Turkish Cypriots in the south has been protested repeatedly by the Cyprus Government. Durinp: the latter part of rTovember there were encouraging indications that restrictions imposed upon UNFICYP freedom of movement in the northern area would be further relaxed.

V. CHANGES IN THE COMPOSITION AND DEPLOYMENT OF UNFICYP

34. Having just undergone a reduction in accordance with the Phase II reductions of the Force outlined in my report of 22 May 1974 (S/11294, paras. 10-14), UNFICYP was not sufficiently strong to meet the many and varied requirements of the new situation whieh arose after 15 July. Accordingly, I informed the Security Council at its 1782nd meeting on 22 July that it was my intention to approach the contributing countries to reinforce their contingents as a matter of urgency. The details of those reinforcements were published in my interim report to the Security Council pursuant to resolution 355 (1974) (S/11433, paras. 20-22; see also para. 14 above).

I ... s/11568 English Page 10

36, During the period under review UNFICYP has sustained a relatively large number of casualties, a fact which the Security Council noted and deplored in its resolution 359 (1974). The casualties occurred as follows:

Wounded Killed

23 May to 20 July 20 to 22 July (first phase of j hostilities) 18 1 23 July to 14 August 3 1 14 August to 16 August (second phase of hostilities) 40 5 16 August to 5 December 4 2

VI. LAW AND ORDER - UNCIVPOL

37, There have been a considerable number of reports and complaints about atrocities, most of them said to have been committed during the height of the hostilities, either between 20 and 23 July or between 14 and 16 August. Complaints have been received from Greek Cypriots concerning 42 cases of killings of civilians allegedly committed by Turkish Cypriots or Turkish forces, involving the deaths of some 300 Greek Cypriots. Complaints have also been received from Turkish Cypriots concerning 20 cases of killings of civilians allegedly committed by Greek Cypriots, involving the deaths of some 195 Turkish Cypriots. These reports and complaints have been made available to both sides by UNFICYP on a confidential basis together, where possible, with UNCIVPOL's findings. UNCIVPOL investigations have been considerably hampered by the conflicting positions of the parties relating to full reciprocity for UNCIVPOL investigations in all areas. The Greek Cypriot side has insisted on full reciprocity in this regard.

38. There has been widespread looting in the wake of the hostilities as well as disquieting reports concerning the personal safety of civilians in occupied areas, with·special reference to alleged cases of rape. Wherever possible, military and police units of UNFICYP have tried to take remedial action in co-operation with the military authorities concerned and, as appropriate, with the ICRC, but the restrictions described earlier in this report have seriously hampered these efforts.

39. UNCIVPOL endeavours to bring a greater atmosphere of security to the confrontation areas along the cease-fire lines, in both Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot villages. This is done by intensive patrolling, by providing escorts for farmers to cultivate their fields in sensitive areas and by establishing permanent stations.

/ ... s/11568 English Page 12

4o. One UNCIVPOL station was established in the mixed village' of Dhali in August and another in Athienou in October; since then, some 600 Greek Cypriots have returned to the latter village. Further to the south, UNCIVPOL, in conjunction with UNFICYP military units, has been providing protection for isolated Turkish Cypriot villages, also by patrolling and by permanent stations.

VII. HUMANITARIAN AND ECONOMIC AFFAIRS

41. As a consequence of the events in July and August, approximately one third of the population of the island became homeless or otherwise in need, and the Cyprus Government requested United Nations assistance to provide relief for them. On 20 August, I designated the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, as Co-ordinator of United Nations Humanitarian Assistance for Cyprus. The High Commissioner visited Cyprus from 22 to 27 August {s/11488) and assigned a team from his Office to the island to co-ordinate the relief activities there. In consultation with the authorities in Cyprus, UNFICYP, the United Nations agencies and programmes concerned and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the UNHCR team assessed the need for short-term emergency relief, the cost of which for the period 1 September to 31 December 1974 was estimated at $22 million. On 6 September, pursuant to Security Council resolution 361 (1974), I made an appeal for the necessary resources and financial means (S/11488/Add.1).

42. As a result of the generous multilateral and bilateral response to my appeal and the actions co-ordinated by the High Commissioner, the emergency needs of the refugees and displaced persons in Cyprus will be met for the period 1 September-31 Decemb~r 1974. These needs included food, medical supplies and emergency accommodation, (tents, blankets, camp-beds, stoves, kitchen and eating utensils, etc.). On 31 October, I reported to the Security Council and transmitted to it the High Commissioner's report on developments regarding this humanitarian op~ration (S/11488/Add.2). Since then, supplies have continued to arrive in Cyprus and the target of $22 million for contributions in kind or in cash has been reached. The details of the assistance provided or to be provided are described in paragraph 5 to the annex of my report of 31 October.

43. The situation of the displaced Greek Cypriots in the south has gradually improved. According to the latest Greek Cypriot statistics, the total number has declined from 203,600 on 1 September to 179,000 on 21 November, as some • 24,ooo returned to their houses in Nicosia or near the southern side of the line indicating the limit of Turkish control. Between the same dates, tbe number of displaced persons who are self-supporting increased from 26,300 to 41,600 and the number of displaced persons needing assistance in food and/or accommodation decreased from 177,000 to 137,800. These statistics also indicate that the number of such persons sheltered satisfactorily has increased since 1 September from 56,000 to 101,000; those in public buildings such as schools declined from 20,000 to 2,500, those in overcrowded housing from 81,000 to 53,000 and those in shacks remained at 8,500. Accommodation has been found for all the 33,500 vho in September were living in the open. Thirteen thousand eight hundred persons are in tented camps. In addition, there are some 30,000 Turkish Cypriots in villages and enclaves in the southern area, including some 9,000 at the British Sovereign Base Area of Episkopi, some 11,000 displaced and some 7,000 needy Turkish Cypriots in the northern area, and some 15,000 Greek Cypriots in the northern area. s/11568 English Page 13

44. Co-ordination meetings are held every week by UNHCR at the Ledra Palace United Nations conference area, with the participation of diplomatic missions in Nicosia, including those of Greece and Turkey, and the Cyprus Red Cross, the Turkish Red Crescent, UNFICYP, the United Nations Development Programme, the ICRC and voluntary agencies.

45. UNFICYP has provided support for the humanitarian relief programme in co-operation with UNHCR and also UNDP, ICRC and local relief agencies. The principal activities engaged in have been deliveries of food, blankets and medicine to villages in need; checking on the condition of the displaced persons and providing information on the' situation in isolated villages; giving medical assistance and arranging evacuations; providing escorts for working parties in confrontation areas and assisting in the search for missing persons~

46. UNFICYP has delivered a total of 647 loads of food (approximately 2,000 tons) to Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriot villages in need; 316 loads (approximately 1,264 tons) have been delivered to Greek Cypriot villages and 308 loads (approximately 1,300 tons) to Turkish Cypriot villages. UNFICYP has also transported 300 tons of flour and Go tons of rice from UNHCR to the northern area. Initially, the supply was directed mainly to Turkish Cypriot villages in the south and to Greek Cypriots in the Dome Hotel at Kyrenia and in the village of Bellapais. Since September, limited access has been permitted to villages in the Famagusta district including the Karpass area, and in November a more general agreement was reached which will permit UNHCR food to be delivered to Greek Cypriots in the north in UNFICYP vehicles on the same basis as UNFICYP deliveries to the Turkish Cypriots in the south. UNFICYP has also trans.ferred medical supplies and blankets for UNHCR from Akrotiri base to the north. In recent weeks there has been a shortage of Red Crescent food supplies for delivery to Turkish Cypriot villages in the south. The Greek Cypriot authorities have now undertaken to provide food from their sources for Turkish Cypriot villages for as long as the shortage of Red Crescent supplies lasts. The Greek Cypriot authorities are also paying pensions to the Greek Cypriots in the north and to T~rkish Cypriots in the north and the south who are entitled to such pensions.

47. Some 2,500 Greek Cypriots have been living in poor conditions in the areas in the north where they.have been concentrated, though their circumstances have been alleviated recently by food supplies distributed by UNFICYP and by medical care given by ICRC medical teams. At the meeting.between Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash on 11 November it was agreed that about 1,500 Greek Cypriots · located at Voni (WD 452 990) and Gypsos (WE 715 024) would be evacuated to the south. The evacuation of 389 Greek Cypriots from Voni was completed on 19 November. The evacuation of those at Gypsos was completed on 30 November; a total of 1,123 were moved to the south. The evacuation to the north of Turkish Cypriot inhabitants of Mandria (VD 846 588) commenced and 250 persons have been moved so far. Turkish Cypriots in the south are in the main living in reasonable circumstances except for the shortage of food mentioned and a lack of money due to unemployment. Consequent on the decision of about 96 per cent of the Turkish Cypriot prisoners/detainees to move to the north upon their release, a problem has been created in respect of their families who have remained behind. These are mostly women and old people who are in need of constant external assistance. The Greek Cypriot authorities have now agreed to pay cash allowances to Turkish Cypriots in the south on the same basis as currently paid to Greek Cypriot displaced persons. I .. . s/11568 English Page 14

48. As indicated in my report (S/11488/Add.2, para. 10), several thousand Turkish Cypriots have moved to the northern area by their own means since Aueust.

49. Pursuant to agreements reached between Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash, provision was made for the transfer of a number of categories of people from south to north and vice versa. These include prisoners, sick and injured persons, stranded persons, children of tender age, the aged and infirm, university students, teachers and foreign passport holders. UNFICYP is co-operating with ICRC in effecting the transfer of persons covered by the agreements.

50. UNFICYP medical teams visit isolated villages and complement the efforts of ICRC medical teams, particularly in the south, as ICRC has assigned most of its teams to the north. There are still considerable restrictions on freedom of movement for UNFICYP in respect of medical assistance in the north, which means that a number of areas, particularly in the Karpass, have not a sufficient degree of medical help.

51. The exchange of prisoners and detainees was completed on 31 October 1974. A total of 5,816 prisoners was released, of whom 3,308 were Turkish Cypriots and 2,487 were Greek Cypriots. Twelve were Turkish nationals and nine were Greek nationals. Eighty-four of the Turkish Cypriots remained in the south (approximately 4 per cent) and 533 Greek Cypriots went to their villages in the north (approximately ?O per cent). UNFICYP co-operated with the ICRC in the arrangements, and the actual exchange took place on UNFICYP premises at the Ledra Palace Hotel.

52. Following an agreement between Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash, 313 Turkish Cypriot inhabitants of the mixed village of Tokhni (WD 296 490), with their animals and personal belongings, were evacuated on compassionate grounds to the Turkish Cypriot sector of Nicosia on 24 and 25 October 1974. Transport was provided and the operation was organized by UNFICYP.

53. Three hundred and twenty-five Turkish Cypriot and 106 Greek Cypriot enrolled university students who' wished to study abroad were transferred by UNFICYP to their respective areas. Lists of teachers who require to be transferred from one zone to another are currently being collected by UNFICYP.

54. One of the major current issues being discussed by Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash is that of missing persons, who are said to number about 3,000. UNCIVPOL, through its Missing Persons Bureau, is co-operating with the Central Tracin~ Agency of the ICRC in intensified search operations to locate them.

55. Regarding the supply of water and electricity, the aftermath of hostilities saw a considerable amount of disruption, particularly in electricity lines in confrontation areas. UNFICYP negotiated with technical personnel on both sides and provided escorts to enable repair work to be carried out, and is continuin~ to assist with these essential services.

56. One of the most serious consequences of the hostilities has been the damage to agriculture, particularly in the north. UNHCR has contributed ~80,000 towards the cost of feeding, labour, etc. for the preservation of unattended livestock in the north. Moreover, in agreement with the authorities in the north, an FAO livestock officer has been appointed who has freedom of access to all the collecting centres where the livestock has been concentrated. His reports indicate / ... l s/11568 English Page 15

that the situation of the livestock is now generally satisfactory. Citrus groves have also suffered. Considerable damage was done to the forests in the north and west. 57. UNCIVPOL has assisted to a considerable extent in the humanitarian relief programme by providing escorts for the food convoys and for the evacuation of persons on medical and other grounds. 58. The UNHCR team and UNFICYP are continuing their activities, in conjunction with the other international and national relief agencies, in bringing aid to those areas in greatest need and in assisting in the implementation of intercommunal av,reements.

VIII. MEDIATION EFFORT AND INTERCOMMUNAL TALKS

59, The situation regarding a resumption of the mediation function under paragraph 7 of Security Council resolution 186 (i964) has remained unchanged since the last report, owing primarily to the widely differing and firmly held views of the matter of the three Governments most directly concerned.

60. At the outset of the period covered by this report and prior to the events which began on 15 July, the intercommunal talks which had been reactivated on the basis of the Secretary-General's aide-memoires of 18 October 1971 and 18 May 1972 were resumed as had been agreed (S/11294, para. 58). Three meetings were held, on 11 and 18 June and 9 July.

61. At the meetings of 11 and 18 June, the Greek Cypriot representative, Mr. Clerides, and the Turkish Cypriot representative, Mr. Denktash, submitted written statements presenting their communities' views, and it was agreed that the two constitutional experts would continue their search for an agreed text on the issues still outstanding concerning local government, A further meeting took place on 9 July 1974 in the presence of Mr. Weckmann-Mufioz, my new Special Represent~tive. The meeting scheduled for 16 July 1974 did not take place on account of the coup d'etat of the previous day.

IX. SECRETARY-GENERAL'S VISIT TO CYPRUS, GREECE AND TURKEY (25-27 August 1974)

62. As previously reported to the Security Council (S/11473) I visited Cyprus, Greece and Turkey in late August to discuss the situation with the Governments concerned, the leaders of the two communities in Cyprus and with my Special Representative, the Force Commander and the High Commissioner for Refugees, who is co-ordinating United Nations humanitarian assistance on the island. Despite current • difficulties, I found on all sides a strong desire to achieve a negotiated settlement. My conversations in Athens and Ankara and with Acting President Clerides and Vice-President Denktash in Cyprus covered a wide range of questions. In particular, they centred on finding means for making progress towards a negotiated solution, and on the possible basis for a settlement in Cyprus. They also covered humanitarian questions, the possibility of reopening Nicosia airport for humanitarian purposes and the future role of UNFICYP.

I I ... I f s/11568 English Page 16

63. While in Nicosia, I arranged the first of a series of meetings between Actinc; President Clerides and Vice-President Denktash, as a means of resolving urgent humanitarian questions. I also suggested that these meetings might provide the opportunity for a discussion of the broader political issues. I was gratified to learn, after my return to New York, that all the parties concerned welcomed this second aspect of the meetings between Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash as a constructive effort to pave the way for future negotiations.

X. MEETINGS BETWEEN MR. CLERIDES AND MR. DENKTASH

64. The first meeting between Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash took place in my ' presence on 26 August. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and my ~ Special Representative were also pr~sent. The two leaders agreed that they would meet at least once a week in order to review pressing humanitarian problems. Since then, and commencing on 6 September, the two leaders have met, at regular intervals., 13 times in all, and have considered a wide range of issues with the assistance of my Special Representative and other United Nations officials, including a representative of the United Nations High· Commissioner for Refugees,. a representative of the ICRC has also been present. The decisions reached at these meetings have given a strong impetus to the humanitarian relief programme and have greatly contributed to the amelioration of the condition of many people (see S/11468 and Add.1-4).

65. There was early agreement on a scheme for the mutual release of prisoners and detainees as proposed by ICRC, which was completed on 31 October 1974. Arrangements were also agreed upon for assisting the aged and.infirm left behind in isolated villages, and for allowing sick persons, including pregnant women, to go to their respective sides for treatment in hospitals or by doctors there.

66. Agreement was also reached on the following points:

(a) to afford the possibility for enrolled university students to resume their studies abroad;

(b) to allow teachers to move with their families to take up posts allotted to them by their respective education authorities~

(c) to permit foreign nationals, including Greek and Turkish nationals, cut off by the hostilities, to return to their homes, and to give similar facilities to stranded Greek and Turkish Cypriots;

(d) to facilitate the work of ICRC in the search for missing persons; •

(e) to allow children of tender age to accompany mothers being evacuated;

(f) to co-operate with an adviser, to be appointed by UNESCO, for the preservation and restoration of cultural monuments;

I . .. s/11568 English Page 17

{g) to make tentative arrangements for the sale of the tobacco crop of Greek and Turkish Cypriot growers in the Karpass.

Most agreements have either been carried out or have reached an advanced stage of implementation.

67. All the meetings were held in a constructive and co-operative atmosphere. These meetings have usually been followed by exchanges of views between Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash, in the presence of my Special Representative, on ) certain political aspects.

XI. FINANCIAL ASPECTS

68. Voluntary contributions in the amount of approximately $156.3 million have been paid to the UNFICYP Special Account by 55 Member States and three non-member Governments in respect of the periods from the inception of the Force on 27 March 1964 to 15 December 1974. In addition, voluntary contributions from public sources, interest earned on investment of temporarily undisbursed funds and other miscellaneous income received by the Account have totalled about $2.6 million. Accordingly, some $158.9 million have been made available to the UNFICYP Special Account towards meeting the costs of UNFICYP to the United Nations for the periods through 15 December 1974.

69. The costs to be borne by the United Nations for the operation of UNFICYP for the periods from the inception of the Force to 15 December 1974 are now estimated at $186.4 million, of which $7.7 million are the result of the recent reinforcement of the Force (see para. 34). This figure includes the direct cost to the United Nations of maintaining the Force in Cyprus, as well as the amounts to be paid to Governments providing contingents in respect of their extra and extraordinary costs for which they seek to be reimbursed by the United Nations.

70. The amount of $158.9 million so far received by the illTFICYP Special Account falls short of the requirement of $186.4 million indicated above by approximately $27.5 million. However, in addition to the voluntary contributions that have already been paid to the Account, some $0.3 million are now expected to be received in due course against pledges made by Governments but not yet paid by them.

71. If to the amount of $158,9 million so far received the amount of $0.3 million of anticipated receipts is added, the receipts of the UNFICYP Special Account since March 1964 can then be expected to total approximately $159.2 million. The J difference between this figure and the costs to be met of approximately $186.4 million becomes $27.2 million. Accordingly, unless additional contributions from existing or new pledges are received before 15 December 1974, the UNFICYP Special Account deficit as of that date will be $27.2 million.

72. If the Security Council should decide to extend for six months beyond 15 December 1974 the period during which the Force is to be stationed in Cyprus, it is estimated that the additional cost to the Organization for a Force at approximately its present strength, assuming continuance of present reimbursement commitments, would amount to approximately $13. 7 million, as detailed below. I ••• s/11568 English Page 18

UNFICYP COST ESTIN.ATE BY MAJOR CATEGORY OF EXPENSE (in thousands of US dollars)

I. Operation costs incurred by the United Nations Movement of contingents . 235 Operational expenses 1,565 Rental of premises 370 Rations . 983 Non-military personnel, salaries, travel etc. 937 Miscellaneous and contingencies . 400 Total, part I 4,490

II. Reimbursement of extra costs of Governments providing contingents Pay and allowances 8,400 Contingent-owned equipment 700 Death and disability awards 100 Total, part II 9,200

GR.AND TOT.AL, parts I and II 13,690

The above costs for the next six-month period do not reflect the full cost of UNFTCYP to Member and non-member States, inasmuch as they exclude the extra costs that Members providing contingents or police units to the Force have agreed to absorb at their own expense rather than seek as reimbursement from the United Nations. My report to the Security Council of 1 December 1973 (S/11137) gave indicative figures of the amounts ~nvolved which, updated, would be approximately as follows: Australia, $0.2 million; Austria, $0.2 million; Canada, .tl.6 million; Denmark, $0.4 million; Sweden, $0.7 million and United Kingdom, $2.1 million.~/ Finland is also absorbing certain UNFICYP costs at its own expense.

73, In order to finance the costs to the Organization of maintaining the Force for a period of six months after 15 December 1974 and to meet all costs and outstanding claims up to that date, it will be necessary to receive voluntary contributions to the UNFICYP Special Account totalling $41.9 million.

XII. OBSERVATIONS

74. The period under review was marked by the· gravest crisis undergone by Cyprus since the establishment of the United Nations operation in the island in 1964.

75. Last July the quiet which had prevailed for so many years, thanks in large measure to the presence of UNFICYP, was suddenly shattered as a consequence of events which were clearly outside the purview of the United Nations Force. The coup d'etat of 15 July was followed by military intervention by Turkey and full-scale hostilities between the National Guard on one side and the Turkish Army and Turkish Cypriot fighters on the other. The Turkish armed forces are now • in occupation of about 40 per cent of Cyprus. The economy of the island is seriously disrupted and one third of its population has been uprooted. The suffering and destruction caused by the fighting, including the killing of innocent civilians on both sides, have further deepened the long-standing differences and mistrust between the two communities of Cyprus.

76. This chain of events confronted UNFICYP with a new situation not covered by its mandate, which was conceived in the context of the conflict between the two communities in Cyprus and not of military intervention by outside forces or of full-scale hostilities between two national armies. For more than 10 years, UNFICYP was able to maintain, mainly through negotiation, persuasion and interposition, the delicate balance of forces in the island, but this balance was destroyed by the events of July and August. Following the Turkish intervention and during the ensuing hostilities, UNFICYP was forced to withdraw from some of its positions. It returned to those positions as soon as it could do so and, wherever and whenever possible, it exerted its best efforts to minimize the consequences of the hostilities by arranging local cease-fires, protecting the population threatened by the events and extending humanitarian relief assistance to refugees and other persons in need.

77. Since the end of the hostilities, UNFICYP has continued to carry out its peace-keeping and humanitarian tasks to the maximum extent possible in accordance with the relevant Security Council resolutions, while adapting its operations to the requirements of the new situation. Like other United Nations peace-keeping operations, UNFICYP has no enforcement powers and relies mainly on negotiation and on the support and co-operation of the parties for the effective performance of its duties. For many years UNFICYP has had close liaison and sound working relationships with the Cyprus Government and the Turkish Cypriot leadership. Efforts to establish a comparable relationship with the Turkish military authorities, especially at the local commanders' level, have been slow in producing results, with particular reference to freedom of movement. However, some progress has recently been made with re~ard to both liaison and freedom of movement.

I ••. s/11568 English Page 20

78. In the ·circumstances, what UNFICYP has done in the areas of confrontation is to try pragmatically to maintain surveillance of the cease-fire called for by the Security Council, to report any cases of movement forward and, as far as possible, to persuade the parties to refrain from violations of the cease-fire. While its presence has certainly contributed to stabilizing the military situR..tion, UN~ICYP has neither the authority nor the capability to prevent major clashes between the opposing forces. UNFICYP has made continuous efforts to negotiate with the parties arrangements which will lessen the dangers of such clashes.

79. A major activity of UNFICYP at present is humanitarian relief assistance. ~ In this connexion, it may be recalled that in view of the urgency and magnitude of the humanitarian needs, I designated last August the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as Co-ordinator of United Nations humanitarian assistance • in Cyprus. The High Commissioner as well as the International Committee of the Red Cross have provided a large amount of assistance to those who have been uprooted or otherwise afflicted by the hostilities. UNFICYP assists and co-operates fully in these humanitarian efforts. Here I wish to express my appreciation for the generous and prompt response of Governments to my appeal for humanitarian assistance.

80. The situation in Cyprus will undoubtedly remain unstable and potentially dangerous so long as a settlement of the basic problems is not agreed upon. I am convinced that such a settlement cannot be achieved by violence but only through free negotiations among the parties concerned. A hopeful note has been provided by the current series of meetings between Acting President Glafcos Clerides and Vice-President Rauf Denktash, which began during my visit to the island in late August (see S/11473). Those meetings have yielded many positive results and have greatly contributed to current humanitarian relief efforts and to the improvement of the conditions of many persons in the island, both Greek and Turkish Cypriots. It is to be hoped that the talks between Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash will pave the way for future negotiations towards a settlement. I wish to express the earnest hope that such negotiations will not be long delayed.

81. In these circumstances, I consider the continued presence of UNFICYP to be essential not only to help maintain the cease-fire called for by the Security Council, to promote the security of civilian population and to provide humanitarian relief assistance, but also to facilitate the search for a peaceful solution of the present situation. I therefore recommend that the Security Council extend the stationing of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus for a further period of six months. The parties concerned have signified their concurrence in this recommendation.

82. It will be recalled that following the events of July I took urgent measures to increase the strength of UNFICYP to meet the requirements of the new situation. With that increase, and also because of certain additional expenditures entailed by the hostilities and their aftermath, the financial situation of UNFICYP has markedly deteriorated. I intend to give careful consideration to the desirable strength of UNFICYP in consultation with my Special Representative, the Force Commander, the parties concerned and the troop contributing Governments, and

I . .. s/11568 English Page 21

shall keep the Council informed of developments in this regard. It should be borne in mind that while UNFICYP derives its authority from the mandate conferred upon it by the Security Council, its effectiveness depends to a very large extent on the support and co-operation of all the parties. Resolution 3212 (XXIX) of 1 November 1974, in which the General Assembly "Calls upon all parties to continue to co-operate fully with the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus, which may be strengthened if necessary", is relevant in this connexion.

83. The deficit in the UNFICYP budget, which now exceeds the sum of $27 million, has become ·a serious problem. The recent reinforcement of UNFICYP has contributed to this situatjon, but the main reason for it is the insufficiency of voluntary ,, contributions, which have continued to come from a disappointingly limited number . of Governments •

84. In concluding this report I wish to express my deep appreciation to the Governments providing contingents for the Force as well as to those which have made voluntary contributions for its financing. Without their generous support it would not have been possible to maintain the Force. In this connexion, I should like to add a word of special thanks to the troop contributing Governments for their unswerving support during the recent crisis, particularly to those which provided additional troops at very short notice when required. I wish also to express appreciation to the Government of the United.Kingdom which, in addition to the essential logistic support it affords to the Force, has made available to UNFICYP, following the closing of Nicosia International Airport, the facilities of Akrotiri airport in the British Sovereign Base area.

85. Finally, I wish to pay special tribute to my Special Representative, Mr. L. Weckmann-Mufioz; the Commander of the Force, Lieutenant-General D. Prem Chand; its officers and men, and to the civilian staff of UNFICYP for the manner in which they have carried out their important tasks. In extremely difficult and often dangerous circumstances they have displayed remarkable ~ourage, efficiency and dedication. Nine members of UNFICYP died and 65 were wounded during the period under review while serving the cause of peace in Cyprus. To the families of the deceased and the Governments concerned I reiterate the expression of my deepest sympathy.

FURTHER REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL PURSUANT TO SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 361 (1974)

1. This report, submitted in pursuance of Security Council resolution 361 (1974) of 30 August 1974, gives an account of developments concerning emergency United Nations humanitarian assistance for Cyprus since the circulation of my report on the subject on 4 September (S/11488), and since my appeal of 6 September to the international community to extend to the United Nations co-ordinator the necessary resources and financial means to carry out his humanitarian task (S/11488/Add.l). The progress report, dated 30 October, of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in his capacity as Co-ordinator is annexed to the present report. ,, 2. As indicated in paragraph 4 of the High Commissioner's report, the response of the international community to my appeal of 6 September has been prompt and generous, amounting, as of 28 October 1974, to approximately $20 million in cash and kind towards the estimated goal, mentioned in my appeal, of $22 million required to meet emergency relief needs from 1 September 1974 until the end of the year. I am pleased to express my gratitude to the Governments, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations and private individuals or groups who have made or pledged contributions t-o the United Nations programme of humanitarian assistance in Cyprus.

3. The onset of winter, which will inevitably increase the hardships suffered by the affected population, makes it all the more important to continue and intensify current efforts ·to meet the total goal and to make available the necessary assistance in cash and in kind through United Nations and other multilateral or bilateral channels as promptly as possible.

4. Future pro,pects for this United Nations humanitarian activity in Cyprus will necessarily depend on progress towards the solution of broader problems, including political problems. Pending such progress, it is of vital importance to ensure, on a humanitarian basis, that the hardships of the innocent victims of the tragic events in Cyprus are relieved to the extent possible through the concerted efforts of the international community.

is disrupted, their situation is better than that of other Greek Cypriots in the northern area, who have either been regrouped in churches, schools, hotels or other public buildings or.are isolated in their own villages. The situation of the latter has been a source of continuing concern, particularly because they consist almost exclusively of aged persons, invalids, women and children. These groups are receiving assistance from the Interriational Ccmmittee of the Red Cross ( ICRC), UNFICYP, UNHCR, the Cyprus Red Cross, the Red Crescent and the Turkish forces. Arrangements have been made for deliveries by UNFICYP and ICRC of food supplies provided by my Office.

(d) Needy Turkish Cypriots in the northern area total approximately 8,000. This group consists of people who have fled from their homes in areas directly affected by :military operations, or have reached the northern area from the south, or are released prisoners and detainees. Endeavours are being made to assist them in becoming self-supporting again, with some emergency assistance from my Office.

Assistance provided

3. It should be recalled that prior to the arrangements made in August 1974 by the Secretary-Gener~l for the co-ordination of United Nations humanitarian assistance in Cyprus, aid to the persons displaced or otherwise immediately affected by the events was already being provided from local or bilateral resources, as well as by ICRC, which had launched international appeals for this purpose, and by UNFICYP. This assistance has continued. Indeed, I have sought from the beginning to supplement and encourage these actions rather than to supplant the resources and energies already mobilized with assistance from the United Nations system. The appeal launched on 6 September 1974 by the Secretary-General (S/11488/Add.l), in which humanitarian needs for the whole island were assessed at $US 22 million for the period 1 September-31 December 1974, was intended to reflect the total, if tentative, estimated reQuirements. It was understood that any contributions received towards those requirements from sources outside the United Nations system would be taken into account in the over-all planning of relief operations.

4. As of 28 October 1974, contributions paid, delivered or pledged through my Office apiounted to $11,580,000 of which $9,394,000 was in cash and $2,186,000 in kind. In addition, it was estimated that contributions towards the same over-all reQuirements and channelled through ICRC and other sources amounted, respectively, to about $1,422,000 and $7,067,000. Thus, the total resources enlisted both within and outside the, United Nations system towards the reQuirements covered in the appeal amounted to approximately $20 million. There still exists therefore a shortfall as compared to the estimated figure of $22 million.

5. The assistance already provided or in course of procurement through United Nations channels, together with other assistance to meet the needs covered by the $22 million figure, so far includes the following main items:

PROGRESS REPORT DATED 30 OCTOBER 1974 OF THE UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES TO THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE IN CYPRUS

Introduction

1. The present report brings up to date the information in my report submitted to the Secretary-General in my capacity as co-ordinator of United Nations humanitarian assistance in Cyprus and annexed to the report of the Secretary-General pursuant to Security Council resolution 361 (1974) dated 4 September 1974 (S/11488).

The problem

2. It may be useful to recall that the persons displaced or in need of humanitarian assistance as a result of the recent events in Cyprus fall into the following four categories, the figures quoted below reflecting the best available estimates as of 30 October 1974.

(a) The largest group consists of displaced Greek Cypriots in the southern area, numbering 181,229 persons. Of these about 39,328 are at present self-supporting, while 141,901 are in need of, and receiving, various forms of assistance. In addition, some 14,000 Greek Cypriots are in need as a result of the events of the summer of 1974, although they have not been displaced. Of the displaced persons, about 62,639 are sheltered satisfactorily, 4,731 live in temporarily vacated public buildings, 88,421 live in overcrowded accommodation, mostly with friends and relatives, 11,069 live in shacks, garages and other makeshift shelters, 10,002 are in tents and 4,367 are still living in the open. Those who are in inadequate shelters or living in the open are somewhat reluctant to accept tented accommodation, although the approaching winter will make their situation more critical. Depending upon local and individual circumstances, the people in this category require one or several of various forms of assistance, such as food, medical attention, shelter, blankets, camp-beds.

(b) Turkish Cypriots in the southern area number approximately 34,000 persons in need, the majority of whom live in their own villages, while nearly 9,000 are on the territory of the British Sovereign Base Area at Episkopi. These groups require food, medical assistance and, as regards those in the Sovereign Base Areas, some shelter, blankets and camp-beds. Assistance is being delivered by the United ·Jations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), mainly with supplies from the Turkish Red Crescent and my Office.

(c) Greek Cypriots in the northern area are estimated at approximately 15,000 persons. Conditions within this group vary greatly. About 7,000 to 8,000 have been by-passed by military operations and are still living in their own villages (mostly in northern Karpass). Although the economic life of the villages

I . .. S/11488/Add.2 English Annex Page 3

(a) Emergency accommodation. 2,560 family tents, 88,000 camp-beds, 304,000 blankets, 8,000 sets of stoves and domestic utensils have been delivered or are under procurement through the United Nations system. In addition, more than 11,000 tents, 11,500 camp-beds and 200,000 blankets have been delivered through ICRC or bilaterally.

(b) Food supplies. Food contributions in kind amounting to over ~n .6 million are in the process of being delivered to the island through illiHCR. Several thousand tons of food have arrived from other sources" and other substantial contributions are expected in the near future. A sum of t450,ooo was made available by my Office to the authorities for local purchase of food supplies. More funds can be made available for the same purpose, depending on requirements.

(c) Health requirements. UNHCR has placed $447,000 at the disposal of the 1Jorld Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children I s Fund (macEF) towards the purchase of medicines and medical equipment and ambulances. WHO has delivered from its own funds medicines to the value of $70,000. Also, substantial quantities of medical supplies continue to be channelled through ICRC.

( d) Other emergency requirements. Allocations totalling $600,000 were made by my Office to the local authorities for sundry immediate requirements. UNICEF has made available from its own funds $115,000 for the pur~hase of various relief items and equipment. In addition, sizable funds have been devoted to the transport of the goods by sea, and, more importantly, by air, when dictated by urgency.

6. In carrying out the actions outlined above, I have relied and will continue to rely on the support of UNFICYP and the agencies of the United Nations system. The World Food Programme (WFF) is reactiviting or launching important projects that will also benefit displaced persons in Cyprus and is currently conducting an ove:t·-all re-assessment of the food situation. WHO continues to provide important support in the medical field. IBUCEF i.s helping with the services of its procurement network. Several other agencies are contributing in various forms. The support of UNFICYP has proved invaluable, particularly in the deli very of relief supplies and the provision of medical care. Regular consultations take place, both in Geneva and in Cyprus, between the various components of the United Nations system, as well as. with ICRC ano. the contributors.

Conclusions

7. The progress in the rield of humanitarian assistance in Cyprus should be viewed in the light of the conclusions contained in the report I referred to in paragraph 1 above. Taking into account the logistical and other problems inherent in the mobilization and the channelling of resources of the order of magnitude of those required, it may be said that the international response both through and outside of the United Nations has been prompt and generous. Although the situation of displaced persons remains far from satisfactory, major shortages of food and health problems have been avoided. This is due not only to the assistance of the international community but, in a large measu.re, to the efficiency of the local administrations and to the resourcefulness of the people of the island. ~;:1 •• •,J .f'."·.

(_ ♦ UNITED NATIONS Distr. GENERAL SECURITY S/11468/Add.4 COUNCIL 17 October 1974 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH

REPORT OF THE SECRET.ARY-GENERAL ON DEVELOPMENTS IN CYPRUS FOR THE PERIOD 3 TO 15 OCTOBER 1974

Observance of the cease-fire

1. Though the military situation remains relatively quiet, cease-fire violations by both sides are on the increase. In particular, there has been frequent firing in the Nicosia town area, where more than 350 violations have been recorded since the beginning of October.

2. There has also been tension and some firing in the Louroujina, Pyroi and Potamia areas, where both sides have strengthened their positions and laid new minefields. UNFICYP has increased its surveillance in those areas.

3. In order to exercise better control, some new UNFICYP observation posts have been established in the Paphos district and Nicosia Zone East. As of now, U:NFICYP maintains 140 observation posts (of which 108 are permanently manned), 11 UNCIVPOL stations and 28 base camps.

4. In areas under National Guard control, UNFICYP is free to move virtually without restriction and is therefore in a position to make a major contribution towards the security and humanitarian needs of the Turkish Cypriots there. In areas under Turkish control, UNFICYP freedom of movement remains restricted.

Humanit~rian activities

5. On 8 and 9 October, the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), in his capacity as co-ordinator of United Nations humanitarian assistance in Cyprus, air-freighted a further 39,478 blankets to the island, and 19,350 more arrived by air on 15 October, bringing the total number of blankets so far deliver~d by UNHCR to 112,828.

6. On 13 October, UNHCR delivered 800 tents and 2,547 cots by sea, and, on 15 October, 13,416 additional cots by chartered aircraft, bringing the total so far supplied by UNHCR to 22,918. UNHCR has also allocated $US 250,000 for the local construction of some 25,000 cots.

7, UNHCR has allocated $400,000 for the local purchase of food to benefit needy Cypriots of both communities in all parts of the island.

74-27780 / ... S/11468/Add.4 English Page 2

8. UNHCR representatives, accompanied by Red Crescent officials, visited groups of Greek Cypriots in the north, including the Karpass region. Following their visits, UNFICYP trucks delivered 6,000 UNHCR blankets and 10 days' food supply from the Greek Cypriot authorities in the south to needy Greek Cypriots in Voni, Gypsos, Vitsada and Dhavlos. Preparations are being made to meet their further food, welfare and medical needs.

9, The weekly co-ordination meetings held by UNHCR at the Ledra Palace United Nations conference area are continuing, with the participation of diplomatic missions in Nicosia, including those of Greece and Turkey, and the Cyprus Red Cross, the Turkish Red Crescent, UNFICYP, the United Nations Development Programme, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and voluntary agencies.

10. The general state of the Greek Cypriot refugees in the south continues to improve slowly. It is estimated that there are now approximately 156,000 of them in the care of the local authorities; a further 30,000 are displaced but self-supporting. Some 10,500 live in poor accommodations, 17,000 in the open and 6,100 in tents, Some 17,000 live in schools and must be given alternative · accommodation if the schools are to re-open. Almost 100,000 live in overcrowded conditions. Sixteen tented camps are planned, of which six have been set up and are occupied. The circumstances of many of the refugees will worsen considerably with the onset of winter.

11. The conditions of some 2,000 Greek Cypriots living in central locations in areas under Turkish control give cause for concern. A degree of alleviation of their circumstances hes been brought about by the delivery in UNFICYP trucks of Red Cross food supplies and blankets from UNHCR sources. ICRC medical teams are providing medical assistance in these areas, but since most of these Greek Cypriots are old people, they require constant geriatric nursing services. The condition of some 8,000 Greek Cypriots who continue to live in the Karpass area has deteriorated. Little is known of the conditions under which some 2,500 Greek Cypriots continue t0 live in the villages in the Kyrenia area, but reports indicate that their situation is difficult. The circumstances of some 400 Greek Cypriots living in the Morphou area are poor, and a number of people have been evacuated on medical grounds.

12. Turkish Cypriots have started to move into a number of abandoned Greek Cypriot villages in Famagusta district.

13, The physical circumstances of the Turkish Cypriots in the south remain relatively good. Red Crescent deliveries to these areas are continuing_.

14. UNFICYP deliveries of food supplies in the period ·totalled 71 loads. Of these, 29 went to Turkish-Cypriot villages in the south and 42 loads went to Greek Cypriot villages in the north. On 15 October, agreement was given for UNFICYP to deliver food supplies to 17 villages north of Famagusta, including the Karpass. Pursuant to an arrangement agreed upon by Acting President Clerides and Vice-President Denktash, UNFICYP has also commenced an operation to move 500 tons of potatoes from a store in Famagusta to locations in the south. This will continue for about 10 days.

I •. • A/11468/Add.4 ♦ English Page 3

15. UNFICYP has collected the particulars of 100 teachers, 900 university students, 1,300 secondary school students and all Turkish Cypriots who wish to go from the south to areas in the north or abroad to study or teach. The gathering of similar information about Greek Cypriot students in areas under Turkish control is expected to be completed within a few days. When this is done, university students will be assisted to go abroad as a matter of priority.

16. UNCIVPOL, in addition to its normal functions, has assisted in food deliveries and in transporting persons requiring medical care between the south and the north.

Meetings between Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash

17. Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash met on 7 October at Mr. Clerides' request in the presence of Mr. Luis Weckmann-Munoz, Special Representative of the Secretary-General. At the meeting they prepared an agenda for'humanitarian problems to be discussed at the next meeting and also had a private exchange of views on certain political aspects. At the same time, a number of practical difficulties with regard to the exchange of prisoners and detainees, students, teachers, stranded persons and foreign nationals were examined and resolved.

18. On 14 October, Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash held a regular meeting. They continued to discuss humanitarian matters with the assistance of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and other United Nations officials, including a representative of UNHCR. A representative of ICRC was also precent. The following statement was issued after the meeting:

"The lists of Turkish Cypriot university students in the south have been compiled by UNFICYP and the International Committee of the Red Cross. The lists of Greek Cypriot university students in the north are nearing completion also. When this is done, facilities will be given for students to proceed,abroad.

11 It is agreed that steps will be taken very shortly to provide Greek Cypriot teachers for the north and Turkish Cypriot teachers for the south where they are required.

"~he next stage of .the return home of civilian foreign nationals, including Greek and Turkish nationals, will take place on Tuesday, 15 October, and will continue on the basis of further lists.

"Arrangements for the return of stranded Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots to their residences will be completed shortly.

11 With regard to missing persons, in agreement with the Turkish army authorities, the International Committee of the Red Cross has today resumed its search operations for persons hiding in various areas in the north. Two such operations have already been successfully completed in the past. A list of uersons so found will be published by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Efforts to trace other missing persons are continuing."

19. At the end of the meeting, Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash had a private exchange of views on the refugee problem and on certain political aspects. It was agreed to hold the next regular meeting on 18 October.

20. On 14 October, it was announced that a further release of prisoners and detainees would take place on 18 October and would continue at regular intervals until the release of all prisoners and detainees.

21. On 15 October, 54 civilian foreign nationals, including 19 Greeks and 29 Turks who had found themselves stranded in the north and south respectively, were returned to Nicosia under the auspices of UNFICYP. ' \ SY32 1HCOSIA 1670 16 .. ,;: sss l O 152 = ET ATPR IOR ITE ) UNATlONS

COUNCIL 3 October 1974 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON DEVELOPMENTS IN CYPRUS FOR THE PERIOD 18 SEPTEMBER TO 2 OCTOBER 1974

Observance' of the cease-fire

1. The military situation remains relatively quiet and althougn some cease-fire violations by both sides have occurred, especially in the Nicosia city area, they have decreased in number since mid-September.

2. The Turkish Command has proposed that a neutral zone be created within the walled city of Nicosia. A detailed survey has been maa.e by UNFICYP to determine the limits of such a, zone. The Turkish proposal does not call for an advance of the Turkish forward positions, and in some instances entails Turkish withdrawal, but it is conditional on some reciprocal action by the National Guard. The proposals have been forwarded by UNFICYP to the National Guard and are now being referred to the competent civilian authorities.

3. In the Louroujina area, south-east of Nicosia, there were some exchanges of fire on 1 and 2 October. On both occasions a cease-fire was secured by UNFICYP intervention. All other zones/districts are reported quiet.

Humanitarian activities

4, The office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in his capacity as co-ordinator of United Nations humanitarian activities in Cyprus, is continuing relief operations in the island (S/11488). In this connexion, allocations have been made to the Cyprus Red Cross and Red Crescent towards meeting the immediate needs ·of the released prisoners and detainees. A consignment of some 35 tons of relief materials, comprising some 7,000 UNHCR camp-beds, 250 tents and quantities of WHO medical. supplies, was landed by air at Akrotiri at the end of September. Five hundred camp-beds were distributed by UNFICYP trucks to displaced persons in the Turkish Cypriot quarter of Nicosia, and the medical supplies were contributed to the Cyprus Red Cross and Red Crescent for use in the south and in the north. A UNHCR shipment of 800 tents and 2,547 camp-beds left London for Cyprus on 27 September. A UNHCR shipment will leave from Antwerp in October with 10 ambulances.

5. Following visits to Cyprus of World Health Organization (WHO) doctors, h \ UNHCR has allocated $400,000 to WHO for immediate action in the medical field in Cyprus. UNHCR.has also approved an allocation of $400,000 for the l~cal purchase of food.

74-26495 I . .. S/11468/Add.3 Engliish Page 2

6. The weekly co-ordination meetings held by UNHCR at the Ledra Palace United Nations conference area are continuing, with the participation of diplomatic missions. in Nicosia, including those of Greece and Turkey, the Cyprus Red Cross, the Turkish Red Crescent, UNFICYP, UNDP, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and voluntary agencies.

7. During the period~ a total of 77 truckloads of relief supplies were delivered by UNFICYP to villages, 60 to Turkish Cypriots and 17 to Greek Cypriots. Owing to certain restrictions on UNFICYP freedom of movement, there is at present some imbalance.in the degree of assistance being provided by UNFICYP, UNHCR ~d ICRC in the different parts of the island.

8. The general state of Greek Cypriot refugees in the south is improving slowly, and camps with better facilities are being set up. There are still shortages of blankets, cots and tents, and refugees in the Akhna Forest and at Ormidhia are still living in primitive conditions.

9, Food supply convoys to Turkish Cypriot villages in the south, which had been operating daily from Nicosia, were suspended temporarily on 26 September, as Red Crescent stores at Nicosia had exhausted their stocks. However, as most tillages had been resupplied recently, no problem developed, and the convoys were resumed on 2 October.

10. The UNFICYP Civilian Police ( UNCIVPOL) , in addition to its normal functions, has continued effectively to assist the humanitarian relief programme and, in particular, has provided 21 escorts, consisting of 77 vehicles. ' Nicosia airport

11. Efforts to obtain agreement to repair the runways and to reopen the Nicosia airport, as a first step at least for humanitarian relief flights, have so far been unsuccessful. Relief supplies are currently air-freighted to Akrotiri in the British Sovereign Base area, but .the use of the airport at Nicosia for this purpose would improve the efficiency of the humanitarian effort and would lead to substantial. savings in transport costs.

12. A particular problem at the airport relates to the civil aircraft o~ Cyprus Airways, which have remained unattended since 20 July 1974. These aircraft, which represent a major investment, are standing in the open and are deteriorating rapidly. Efforts by UNFICYP initiated as long ago as 5 August to secure the agreement of the parties concerned for appropriate civilian technical personnel to be given access to the airport to carry out maintenance on these aircraft have so far been unavailing.

Meetings between Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash

13. The fourth and fifth meetings took place on 20 and 30 September at the Ledra Palace United Nations conference area. The Acting President and the Vice-President

I ••• s/11lr68/Add. 3 English Page 3 of Cyprus continued their discussion on humanitarian matters, with the assistance of Mr. Luis Weckmann-Mu:fioz, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and other United Nations officials, including a representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. A representative of ICRC was also present.

14. At the meeti_ng of 20 September the following was agreed:

"( a) The release of the remaining sick and wounded prisoners and detainees will be completed on Saturday, 21 September.

11 (b) The ICRC scheme for the general release of all remaining prisoners and detainees will commence on Monday, 23 September 1974, and will continue daily until al;t. are released. . 11 ( c) The question of the reunion of families will be considered at the next meeting."

It was also announced that efforts to trace missing persons were continuing.

15. The exchange of sick and wounded prisoners and detainees, which began on 16 Septembe,r, was cotn.pleted on 21 September, when 111 Turkish Cypriots and 42 Greek Cypriots were released. Between 23 and 25 September, pursuant to the agreement reached on the general release of prisoners and detainees, 1,133 Turkish Cypriots and 873 Greek Cypriots were exchanged. The operation was then temporarily suspended for two reasons: the remaining Greek Cypriot prisoners had not as yet returned from Turkey, and some 164 Greek Cypriot detainees who had opted to return to their homes in areas under Turkish control had not been permitted to do so by the Turkish forces and were being held in the Turkish Cypriot quarter of Nicosia.

16. At the meeting of 30 September the following was agreed:

11 ( a) Practical difficulties having been overcome, the general release of prisoners and detainees, which commenced on 23 September, will be resumed on the basis of the agreement reached on 20 September. Arrangements are in hand for the return of Greek .Cypriot prisoners and detainees from Turkey.

"(b) Stranded Greek ◊JPriots whose normf;!,l residence is in Greek Cypriot areas· shall be given facilities to return to their homes. The same applies to Turkish Cypriots whose normal residence is in Turkish Cypriot areas and who have been stranded in Greek Cypriot areas.

11 ( c) Persons in need of medical treatment, including expectant mothers, shall be given facilities to go to their respective sides to be treated in ·hospitals or_ clinics or by doctors therl?. fl

It was also announced that efforts to trace missing persons were continuing.

1 7 • Pursuant to these agreements , 106 Greek Cypriot prisoners and detainees were returned to their villages in Karpass on 2 October, 35 will be returned to the village of Bellapais and 4 to Morphou on 3 October - all under Turkish control. Nineteen have now opted to come to the south~ and they will be handed over to the Greek Cypriot authorities through ICRC on 3 October at Ledra Palace. .__ ...,.,,.;

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON DEVELOPMENTS IN CYPRUS FOR THE PERIOD 25 AUGUST TO 8 SEPTEMBER 1974

Observance of the cease-fire

1. Nicosia district. Turkish pressure by forward movement in the north-west part of Nicosia south of the Nicosia Golf Club (AMR WD 3193) Y was halted by UNFICYP negotiations which resulted in Turkish withdrawal from a portion of that area. There have been minor violations of the cease-fire along the Green Linc, and heavy firing was reported from 2000 to 2200 hours on 5 September. UNFICYP arranged a local cease-fire which is being observed by both sides in that area.

2. Famagusta district. Turkish patrolling in strength has been reported from the cease-fire line of 16 August 1974 to the Sovereign Base Area botBJ.dary, particularly in the villages of Kalopsidha, Akhryitou, Makrasyka and Athna. Turkish forces claim that this is part of the area under their control. UNFICYP has established observation posts in these villages. Most of the residents of the area have taken refuge in the Sovereign Base Area of Dhekelia.

3. Lefka district. Turkish forces have occupied the village of Galini and have now linked up with the Limnitis enclave. On 5 September, the local Turkish commander informed UNFICYP that National Guard positions west of Limnitis must be evacuated, failing which Turkish forces would take action.

4. All other d~stricts have been quiet.

5. UNFICYP now has a presence in 36 locations in the area of Turkish control, and 93 locations in areas outside Turkish control. Nineteen of the locations in the latter areas are in Turkish Cypriot or mixed villages. Most other Turkish Cypriot and mixed villages are also patrolled daily.

Economic and humanitarian activities

6. UNFICYP continues to support the humanitarian relief programme in co-operation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and local agencies. During the period a total of 67 truckloads of relief supplies

Y AMR - approximate map reference.

74-23762 / ... S/11468/Add.l English Page 2

were delivered to villages, 63 to Turkish Cypriots and 4 to Greek Cypriots. From 2 August to 7 September UNFICYP delivered a total of 184 loads, or the equivalent of 900 tons of food. Transport is also provided for the movement to distribution areas of supplies from international sources received by UNHCR from Akrotiri. Allocation of UNFICYP vehicles for the supply of goods will be increased to 8 per day from 9 September 1974.

7. The inhabitants of three Turkish Cypriot villages in Larnaca district left those villages on their own initiative and moved to Pergamos. Large numbers of Greek Cypriot refugees moved farther south to the 0rmidhia area. A total of 73 Greek Cypriots were handed over to UNFICYP in Famagusta by local Turkish forces. They were evacuated to Ormidhia.

8. Approximately 500 Greek Cypriots were captured on 26 August by Turkish forces in the Karpass area. United Nations humanitarian teams with ICRC and UHHCR representatives visited this area on 2 and 6 September 1974. The biggest problem is the lack of electricity as a result of severe damage to the transformer at Lefkoniko. The inhabitants are also hampered in the harvesting of the tobacco crop, since most of the young men have been detained.

9. There have been some problems with the water supply system in Nicosia. Owing to pumping difficulties at the source of the supply at Morphou, the water pressure has been inadequate. There have been complaints from the Turkish Cypriot side that the National Guard has been interfering with the water flow from Marathasa Dam (AMR VD 8580) and the Kalizes Dam (AMR VD 8078), and that this has affected crop irrigation in Lefka. UNFICYP investigations are in progress.

10. Electricity supplies have been restored at Pyroi and Kaimakli (a suburb of Nicosia).

11. It is reported tha~-thousands of untended pigs are dying in the northern area, which is likely to create health hazards. UNFICYP continues efforts to resolve this problem.

Investigation of alleged atrocities

12. Allegations continue to be made by both sides about atrocities and inhuman treatment. Wherever possible UNFICYP has investigated those allegations and has continued to make available to both sides, on a confidential basis, the results of its investigations.

13. During the period under review, the Greek Cypriot side complained of seven cases of atrocities alleged to have been committed by Turks or Turkish Cypriots, involving the death of 26 persons. In four cases UNCIVPOL was able to make a partial investigation.

14. The Turkish Cypriots claim that approximately 90 persons were killed by the other side and that there are still 40 to 80 Turkish Cypriot villagers from Tokhni (Larnaca district) missing. According to a witness, who was made available to UNFICYP, all those missing were taken to the vicinity of Ayia Phyla (Limassol district) and killed by Greek Cypriots. I ••• s/n468/Add.l English Page 3

15. The National Guard and the Cyprus police have denied permission for UNFICYP to investigate the above allegation on the grounds that, in their view, UNFICYP should not only investigate atrocities allegedly committed by their side but should also be permitted to investigate atrocities which allegedly occurred in areas controlled by Turkish Cypriots and the Turkish Army. UNFICYP has so far not been able to · complete investigations into atrocities allegedly committed by Turkish Cypriots or Turkish forces in areas under Turkish control. This matter has been brought to the attention of the Turkish Cypriot authorities. In particular, UNFICYP has proposed to the Turkish Cypriot leadership that UNCIVPOL investigations may proceed in Mia Milea (Nicosia district)~ Elea (Kyrenia district) and Prastio e,nd Styllos (Famagusta district).

16. In Maratha (Famagusta district), 84 to 86 bodies were found, claimed to be those of Turkish Cypriots from the villages of Maratha and Sandalaris. UNFICYP was not in a position to identify any of the bodies, but Turkish Cypriot villagers present during the exhumation said they identified 30, all of them former inhabitants of those two villages.

17, The Greek Cypriot authorities announced that they were ready to agree to an independent investigation by the United Nations and ICRC in the presence of an observer of the Government and of the Turkish side and that similar independent investigations into alleged atrocities should be carried out on both sides. For their part, the Turkish Cypriot leadership announced that it was agreeable to such an investigation in Maratha. There has been no sequel to these announcements.

Meeting between Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash

18. On 6 September 1974, at the UNFICYP conference area in the Ledra Palace Hotel, Acting President Clerides and Vice-President Denktash discussed a number of humanitarian matters with the assistance of Mr. Luis Weckmann-Munoz, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and other United Nations officials, including a representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. A representative of ICRC was also present. In view of the expressed willingness of the parties concerned to comply fully with the humanitarian principles set forth in the Geneva conventions, it was agreed at the meeting:

(a) To complete the lists of prisoners and detainees and to transmit them without delay to ICRC;

(b) To set up immediately a scheme for the general release of prisoners and detainees;

(c) To give urgent priority in the scheme to the release of sick and wounded prisoners and detainees and to prisoners and detainees under 18 and over 50 years of age;

(d) To exchange lists of missing persons-and to make every effort to trace them. Relatives of missing persons were requested to contact the ICRC offices and to give particulars; I •.. S/11468/Add.l English Page 4 I'

(e) To give every assistance to the aged and infirm, Greek and Turkish Cypriots, who have found themselves isolated as a result of the hostilities. Note was trucen with satisfaction and appreciation that the system of communication between persons who have found themselves isolated, set up and operated by ICRC, is functioning smoothly and efficiently. Over 60,000 messages have thus·far been transmitted.

19. It was agreed to hold regular weekly meetings. The next r1eeting was scheduled for 1000 hours on 13 September, at the Ledra Palace United Nations conference area, but the date was subsequently advanced to 11 September.

20. At the end of the meeting, Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash had a private exchange of views on the refugee problem and other important issues. UNITED NATIONS Distr. SECURITY GENERAL S/11488/Add.l COUNCIL 6 September 1974 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL PURSUANT TO SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 361 (1974)

Addendum

The following appeal for voluntary contributions to support the programme of emergency United Nations humanitarian assistance for Cyprus was cabled by the Secretary-General on 6 September 1974 to the Foreic;n Ministers of all States Members of the United Nations and members of the specialized ar-;encies:

11 The world has followed with serious concern the trafsic events which have affected Cyprus. One of the saddest conse~uences of the recent hostilities is the plight of nearly one third of the island 1 s population rendered homeless and living under conditions of duress and extreme hardship.

During my recent visit to Cyprus, I was myself able to witness the extent of disruption and the resulting suffering of the innocent victims. I also observed the excellent effort already being made, both bilaterally and multilaterally, through the existing structure of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

On 20 August 1974, after consultation with all the parties concerned, I designated the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Sadruddin Aga Khan, as the United Nations co-ordinator of humanitarian assistance for Cyprus. After an initial assessment of immediate requirements made by him and his team in Cyprus, he approached Governments on 30 August for contributions in cash and kind needed during the coming weeks. I transmitted the High Commissioner's report on this subject to the Security Council on 4 September 197~- (S/11488).

Meanwhile it has been possible, in coordination with the authorities in Cyprus, to identify and cost the needs on a short-term basis. It is estimated that until the end of this year some $us 22 million will be required from the international community.

Many uncertaint~es are inherent in the circumstances, and the full extent of the assistance needed from the international community will depend greatly on the evolution of the situation in Cyprus.

74-23583 I ... S/ll488/Add.l English Page?

The support of the various programmes and specialized agencies of the United Nations is available to the High Commissioner, and a satisfactory mechanism of coordination exists both in Nicosia and Geneva to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the humanitarian effort, both bilateral and multilateral.

I earnestly appeal to the international community - to all Governments~ non-governmental organizations and all men of goodwill• to extend to the United Nations coordinator the necessary resources and financial means to carry out this humanitarian task,

Accept? Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL PURSUANT TO SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 361 (1971~)

1. This report is submitted in pursuance of paragraph 5 of resolution 361 (1974), which the Security Council adopted on 30 August 1974. In that resolution, the Council expressed its grave concern at the plight of the refugees and other persons displaced as a result of the situation in Cyprus, requested the Secretary-Gerteral to continue to provide emergency United Nations humanitarian assistance to all parts of the population in need of such assistance and to report to the Council at the earliest possible opportunity.

2. On 20 August 1974, I announced the appointment of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as co-ordinator of United Nations humanitarian assistance for Cyprus. The High Commissioner visited the island from 22 to 27 August 1974 ·to study the problem at first hand.

3. In the light of the Security Council resolution, I requested the High Commissioner to submit to me a report on humanitarian problems in Cyprus with special reference to the plight of the refugees. The High Commissioner prepared his report in close co-operation with the Special Representative of the Secretary­ General in Cyprus and the Commander of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force. The text of that report is attached.

4. The High Commissioner has informed me that, in order to meet the immediate needs, he has been in touch with the representatives of potential donor Governments. However, the problems left in the wake of the recent hostilities in Cyprus are of such magnitude that substantial resources will be required if the Secretary-General, and the High Commissioner in his capacity as co-ordinator for humanitarian.assistance~ are to be in a position to continue to provide emergency assistance as requested by the Security Council in p~ragraph 6 of its resolution 361 (1974). I therefore intend to make, before the end of this week, an appeal to Governments, non-governmental organizations and individuals to support the United Nations effort to assist the afflicted population of Cyprus, to provide relief and to endeavour to find a peaceful solution to the problem of refugees.

Introduction

1. ·on 20 August 1974 the Secretary-General appointed me co-ordinator of United Nations humanitarian assistance in Cyprus. Preceded by two UNHCR officials, I ·arrived in the island on 22 August 1974 and remained there until 27 August.

2. During my stay in the island I had several occasions to meet with Acting President Clerides and with Vice-President Denktash. I also attended on 26 August the joint meeting on humanitarian questions presided over by the Secretary-General with the Acting President and the Vice-President. In addition, I had. consultations with. the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Cyprus and the Commander of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus and met with senior members of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, the chief delegate of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) as well as with representatives of potential donor Governments.

3. Thanks to the co-operation received from the authorities and the logistic support provided by UNFICYP, I visited by car and 1'.elicopter the British Sovereign Base Areas of Dhekelia and' Episkopi where there are considerable numbers of displaced persons. I also toured the areas of Kyrenia, Kythrea, Larnaca, Limassol, the Troodos Mountains and Pa.phos and stopped to see some villages on· the way. In the course of these visits, I had occasion to gather first-hand impressions of human sufferings and the extent of disruption.

The problem

4. A large number of Greek Cypriot displaced persons, estimated to be 163,800, have fled their homes in the northern part of the island and are now in the south. There are also an estimated 34,000 Turkish Cypriots in the south. Of these numbers, some 50,000 Greek Cypriots and some 7,800 Turkish Cypriots.are in the British Sovereign Base Areas. In the south·there is, therefore, a total of some 197,800 persons in need. In the north there are an estimated 20,000 Greek Cypriots who did not or could not leave and a further'7,800 Turkish Cypriots who are homeless, making a total of 27,800 persons in need in the north and a total of 225~600 in the whole island. These figures were given locally to UNHCR by the Red Cross and the Red Crescent. It should be noted that not all 225,600 are displaced, as most of the Greek Cypriots in the north are still in their own homes, but deprived of their livelihood. The great majority of these are or shortly will be in need of assistance. ,. 5. Related to the present situation are also-other problems such as the care of large numbers of livestock left behind on Greek Cypriot farms in the north and the maintenance of the irrigation of the citrus plantations.

Assistance already provided

6. The immediate assistance is already being provided from several sources, both bilateral and multilateral. Since the second hal~of July, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has played a vital role not only in its traditional context of the Geneva Red Cross conventions but also in the provision of relief. Indeed, the ICRC has some 40 delegates on the island distributing relief assistance in close co-operation and in many instances with the logistical support of UNFICYP.

7, Since the beginning cif the hostilities in Cyprus in July 1974, UNFICYP has made all possible efforts to assist the afflicted population. UNFICYP activities in support of the humanitarian relief programme have included information gathering on conditions in towns and villages, providing supply convoys, giving medical assistance and escorts for medical and casualty evacuations, escorting work parties to repair power lines, transformers, generators and other essential services, assisting in tracing missing persons and protection, where necessary, of Turkish Cypriot villages.

8. Supplies for Turkish Cypriots come through the Red Crescent and for Greek Cypriots either through the Cyprus Government Welfare Department or the Red Cross. Four UNFICYP trucks are allocated permanently to move food and supplies to areas in need. Vehicles are allotted on a daily basis in response to requests from the agencies involved, and the supplies are delivered to their destination under UNFICYP escort. To date, 121 loads have been delivered, 92 to Turkish Cypriots and 29 to Greek Cypriots .

9, UNFICYP provides medical assistance to the sick and infirm in isolated villages and co-operates in the evacuation of seriously ill patients by providing escorts by road, and if required, by helicopter.

10. Specific instances of successful UNFICYP intervention as regards public facilities include Pyroi, where the badly damaged transformer has now been repaired, and the power line from Nicosia to Kyrenia, which was broken at Kaimakli, and where work is proceeding under UNFICYP protection. A joint meeting of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot technicians is being arranged under UNFICYP auspices to consider -the repair of the .electricity supply to Lefkoniko.

11. The UNFICYP Civilian Police (UNCIVPOL) too is actively engaged in the humanitarian relief efforts. In addition to the tracing service established by the ICRC in line with its traditional work, a special UNFICYP missing persons bureau has been set up since 15 July 1974. About 2,180 persons have been reported missing, of whom 580 were located. It must be mentioned, however, that UNCIVPOL investigations in this regard and other related matters are hampered in che north owing to restrictions of movement. UNCIVPOL co-operation with the ICRC is excellent and it is supporting the Red Cross efforts by visiting prisons and refugee camps .

Conclusions and future action

12. The economic and social disruption caused by the recent upheavals in Cyprus constitutes a serious obstacle to the efforts of local authorities to bring life back to normal. More than one third of the total population has been affected by the events. The condition of nearly a quarter of a million persons requiring humanitarian assistance has been mentioned in the above paragraphs. These groups include not only those homeless and uprooted who have had to leave one zone of control for another, but aiso sizable groups of Greek Cypriots in the Turkish zone and Turkish Cypriots in the Greek zone. They are mostly concentrated in identified areas where all protective measures possible under the circumstances are being taken. However, they are deprived of their livelihood and, in terms of assistance required, their situation is comparable to that of displaced persons.

13. Pending an amelioration of the over~all situation leading to some measure of socio-economic stability and enabling populations in rural and urban areas to pursue their normal means of livelihood, considerable efforts would be required of the international community to provide adequate humanitarian assistance in Cyprus. The assessment of requirements made on the spot calls for (i) immediate assistance required in coming days and weeks to save human lives and alleviate hardship; (ii) short-term assistance required over a period of several months, depending on the evolution of the over-all situation.

14. During the first phase, the United Nations efforts are to be concentrated on supplementing the humanitarian work already being carried out, on providing such basic assistance as medicaments, food, blankets, shelter etc., and on preventing duplication of relief to the extent possible, both.through bilateral and multilateral channels. The need for such assistance is immediate and, given adequate means, may be completed in the next few weeks.

15. Concurrently, efforts have to be made to provide assistance required over a longer period. The necessary planning for timely provision of required material assistance is being carried out. It is felt, in this respect, that the full extent of disruption will be more acutely felt by the population of Cyprus in general as the existing meagre stocks run out ..

16. The co-ordinator is represented in both zones. A satisfactory mechanism of consultation and co-ordination has been established both at UNHCR headquarters level in Geneva and at the local level in Nicosia. In my capacity as United Nations co-ordinator of humanitarian assistance to Cyprus I have already approached Governm=nts for contributions in cash and kind amounting to $US 9 million, in order to meet the immediate requirements. At the same time, needs for the short-term phase are being identified and costed and it is expected that the United Nations Secretary-General will be in a position during this week to appeal to Governments for their support.

17. It is clear that the situation or displaced persons and other elements of the Cypriot population should not be allowed to· deteriorate into a more or less permanent burden. The support of the international community over the coming months would be critical in determining the future of these people. It is hoped that, as in the case of similar situations in the past, the international corranunity will rise to this humanitarian challenge and respond generously to the Secretary­ General's appeal. 1 · NATBONS Distr.

Report of the Secretary-General

1. I wish to inform the Council of my· recent visi_t to Cyprus, Greece and Turkey for the purpose. of discussing the current situation with the Gove.rnments concerned and with my fapecial Representative, the Commander of UNFICYP, and with the United nations High Commis'sioner ·for Refugees who is _co-ordinating United Nations humanitarian assistance on the island.

2.. On my way to· Cyprus, I visited Athens on 25 August 1974 and had preliminary talks with the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister of Greece. I arrived in Cypru~ in the late afternoon of 25 August. I visited UNFICYP units in the Nicosia area and had lengthy discussions with my Special Representative, the Force Cornma11der and the' High Commissioner for Refu_gees. On 26 August I had talks with Acting President Clerides and with Vice President Denktash. Before leaving Cyprus I presided over a joint m~eting on humanitarian questions at which Mr. Clerides, Mr. Denktash and the Hfgh Commissioner for Refugees were present. .

' . 3. I arrived in Ankara on the afternoon of 26 August and had an extensive exchange of views with the·PriIBe Minister and the Foreign M1nister of Turkey. I left Ankara on the early morning of 27 August for Athens,· where I again saw the P~ime Minister and the Foreign Minister of Gre~ce. I left Athens _at noon on 27 August for New.York, with al:rrief stop-over.in London, during which I had the opportunity to talk to the British Minister of State for Foreign_and Commonwealth Affairs.

' I 4. At i:!,ll poin:t;s ~uring this journey I found a warm welcome, and all the discussions took place in an atmosphere of frank understanding. I found on all sides a stroµg desire.to achieve a negotiated settlement despite current obstacles to .such a course. My conversations cov.ered a wide range of questions. · In particuiar they centred on the future of the negotiations, the possible basis of a settlement in Cyprus, humanitarian questions, including refugees and the reopening, for humanitarian purposes~ of the Nicosia airport, and, of course, the future role of UNFICYP.

5. I very much hope that, despite present difficulties~ these talks may assist the parties in making progress on 'all· these questions. I believe it would be premature for me to go into details at the present time.

6. One of these questions, however, the future role of UNFICYP, is of particular concern to the CoUI_lcil. I feel, therefore, ttat I should make some preliminary comments on this issue. It is quite clear that the situation in Cyprus.is not

74-22875 I.·. . s/11473 English Page 2

the one in which the original mandate of UNFICYP was established. During the crisis of recent weeks, as I have reported to the Council, UNFICYP has done its best to limit the hostilities, to maintain the cease-fire and to assist all sectors of the civilian population afflicted by the fighting.

7. In the present situation it is clear that the functions of UNFICYP will soon have to be redefined. There is by no means full agreement among the parties as to how, and with what objectives, UNFICYP should function. Naturally, the nature of the negotiated settlement which will, I hope, soon be achieved, will also be a decisive factor in the future role of UNFICYP.

8. In the mean time it is·my intention to ensure that UNFICYP plays a useful role in Cyprus, in full co-operation with all the parties. I shall be having discussions on this subject with the parties concerned as well as with the troop­ contributing countries. On this basis I hope to be able to make suitable recommendations to the Council on UNFICYP's future role.

9. The situation in Cyprus is still a matter of deep concern as far as international peace and security is concerned. It is essential that means be found for making progress towards a negotiated solution. On my recent trip I have done my best to.be helpful in this regard and I shall continue my efforts. All the people of Cyprus have suffered enough. Already their losses and the dislocation of their lives are tragic. It is vital to make real progress towards peace and to avoid a recurrence of fighting. I believe that the Security Council, which has adopted a number of important resolutions on this question, can play a most important role in ensuring this result. I, for my part, shall do my utmost to assist the parties and to keep the Council informed. ..--.._

L ~ UNITED NATIONS Distr. SECURITY GENERAL S/11468 COUNCIL 27 August 1974 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-:-GENERAL ON DEVELOPMENTS IN CYPRUS FOR THE PERIOD 20 TO 25 AUGUST 1974

1. During the period under review the cease-fire held except for a few isolated incidents especially in the Nicosia area. UNFICYP was active in re-establishing the cease-fire when incidents occurred.

2.- On 25 August I arrived in Nicosia from Athens. I visited UNFICYP units in the area and held discussions with my Special Representative, the Force Commander of UNFICYP, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, who had arrived in the island on 22 August to co-ordinate United Nations humanitarian relief efforts in Cyprus. On 22 August I met with Acting President Clerides and Vice-President Denktash before leaving for Ankara and Athens. I shall be reporting to the Council separately on those talks.

3. UNFICYP has encoootered some problems of freedom of movement in the area of Turkish control. These problems are now under discussion.

Protection of Turkish Cypriot inhabited areas outside the area of Turkish Control

4. UNFICYP now maintains-a total of 35 observation posts in Turkish Cypriot villages and mixed villages as follows:

Nicosia district: Louroujina, Dhali, ·Potamia, Pyroi, Peristerona.

Famagusta district: Ephtakomi.

Larnaca district: Larnaca town, Mari, Zyyi, Kophinou, Tokhni, Ala.minos, Pyla.

Limassol district: Kato Polemidhia, Evdhimou, .Alekotora, Episkopi.

Paphos district: Paphos, Stavrokono, Mandria, Ayios Ioannis, Vrecha, Lapithou, Anadhiou, ~elandra, Pelathousa, Androlikou, Yialia, Polis, Kouklia, Mallia.

Left.a district: Left.a town, Limnitis, Selemani, Kokkina.

74-22740 I ..• S/11468 English Page 2

In addition, from these and from its main camps, UNFICYP sends out patrols to the other Turkish Cypriot villages. Each is visited almost daily either by UNFICYP Civilian Police or by an UNFICYP military patrol. In this way, UNFICYP maintains close c·ontact with the Turkish Cypriot population and is readily available to assist in calming fears, or passing on information about special needs and in some cases meeting them if they are within UNFICYP's resources.

Investigation of alleged atrocities

5. Allegations continue to be made by both sides about atrocities and inhuman treatment. Wherever possible UNFICYP has carried out investigations of these allegations. UNFICYP has made available to both sides the results of these investigations on a confidential basis for the time being. UNFICYP has also suggested that investigations of these allegations _should be conducted jointly by both sides with UNFICYP. One·such incident, which bas been widely publicized, may be mentioned in so far as UNFICYP's role· is concerned. On the night of 19 August UNFICYP was informed by the Turkish side that a grave containing three bodies had been discovered in the village of Aloa (Famagusta district) and that there were indications that the grave contained many more. On the next morning, UNFICYP sent a patrol to investigate, but was denied permission to go to the area. Later that day UNFICYP was present along with members of the international press when the grave was shown by representatives of the Turkish Cypriot leadership and it was announced that the grave contained 57 bodies. UNFICYP observers saw five bodies and requested permission for further exhumation and investigation, but these requests were denied.

Humanitarian activities 6. · Relief convoys escorted or supported by the United Nations were dispatched to the following tm-ms and villages: Greek Cypriot - Larnaka (Kyrenia district) and Kyrenia (Dome Hotel); Turkish Cypriot - Margi, Kochati, Larnaca, Polemidhia, Kokkina, and a number of villages in Limassol and Paphos districts. A relief convoy to the Greek Cypriot village of Angastina (Famagusta district) was turned back although permission for it had been granted by the Vice-President's office in Nicosia.

7. Estimates of Greek Cypriot refugees vary considerably. The Greek Cypriot authorities give a figure of 150,000 to 200,000. Most of them are in the vicinity of Larnaca and Limassol towns and between 60,000 and 70,000 are reported to be in the British Sovereign Base Area of Dhekelia. Some 5,000 Turkish Cypriots are reported to be in the British Sovereign Base Area near Episkopi.

8. On 22 August, following intervention by UNFICYP, 11 Turkish and Turkish Cypriot ,journalists and one woman who had been captured by the National Guard during the fighting on 14/15 August were released through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). On 24 August two other journalists were released._ One who was seriously wounded and was, repatriated to Turkey has since died.

9. UNFICYP is assisting in negotiating the repair of the main electricity lines from Nicosia to Kyrenia, but work is not yet completed.

1. The following information is based on reports from my Special Representative and the Force Commander of UNFICYP describing the situation in Cyprus from 1400 hours (local time) on 10 August to 1400 hours on 12 August 1974, During this period the military situation remained quiet, except for one cease-fire violation in the north-east part of the main Turkish enclave and another on the border between Nicosia and Larnaca districts.

2. An exchange of artillery fire occurred on 11 August between 2100 hours and 2200 hours in the area of the villages of Ayios Epiktitos and Klepeni east and south-east of Kyrenia. In the morning of 12 August there was an exchange of fire, lasting for one hour, in the area of the villages of Ayia Kabilia (Nicosia district), Melousha and Arsos (Larnaca district). UNFICYP negotiated with the two sides to secure renewed observance of the cease-fire. '

3, In the evening of 11 August, UNFICYP headquarters was informed by the National Guard that they were prepared to begin withdrawal from Turkish enclaves which had been occupied by 11 Greek or Greek Cypriot forces;i (see S/11433, para.10). The following Turkish Cypriot villages were evacuated Sunday evening: Alekhtora, Evdhimou, Ayios Thomas,-and Plataniskis, all in Limassol district, and Mandria and Kouklia in Paphos district. On 12 August, the National Guard evacuated the Turkish sectors of Larnaca/Scala and Paphos/Ktima.

INTERIM REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL PURSUANT TO SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 355 (1974)

A. Introduction

l. At the 1788th meeting of the Security Council on 31 July 1974, I drew the attention of the members of the Council to the communication I had received on the previous day from the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs of the United Kingdom, on behalf of the three Foreign Ministers who had been negotiating in Geneva, transmitting the text of the Declaration and statement which had been agreed to by the Foreign Ministers of Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom (S/11398). I expressed the hope that the agreement reached in Geneva on the cease-fire would be a first step to the full implementation of Security Coun~il resolution 353 ( 1974). I also referred to the functions which the Declaration envisaged for UNFICYP.

2. On 1 August 1974, the Security Council adopted resolution 355 (1974) in which, taking note of the Secretary-General's statement made at the 1788th meeting, it requested the Secretary-General "to take appropriate action in the light of his statement and to present a full report to the Council, taking into account that the cease-fire will be the first step in the full implementation of Security Council resolution 353 ( 1974 )".

3. This interim report gives an account of the action taken as of 9 August 1974 in pursuance of resolution 355 (1974). A full report will be presented to the Council in due course.

4. Immediately after the adoption of resolution 355 (1974), I instructed my Special Representative in Cyprus and the Commander of UNFICYP to proceed, in co-operation with the parties, with the full implementation of the role of UNFICYP as provided for in Security Council resolution 355 (1974).

5. The Special Representative and the Force Commander have since been in close touch with the parties md have indicated to them that UNFICYP stands ready to carry out all the functions devolving upon it under resolution 355 {1974) of the Security Council. In particular, UNFICYP has repeatedly appealed to the parties to observe the cease-fire called for by the Security Council in its resolutions 353 (1974) and 354 (1974).

74-21165 I .. . s/11433 English Page 2

B. Observance of the cease-fire called for by Security Council resolutions 353 (1974) and 354 (1974)

6. Since the outbreak of hostilities in Cyprus and especially since the adopt1on of Security Council resolution 353, in accordance with my instructions, UNFICYP has made every effort to secure an effective cease-fire. In addition, UNFICYP has carried out continuous observation and reporting on the status of the observance of the cease-fire. This has provided the basis for rey regular reports to the Security Council on developments in Cyprus (S/11353/Add •••• series).

7. In general~ the fighting diminished substantially and ceased in some areas after the agreement announced on 22 July that Greece and Turkey had agreed on a cease-fire to be implemented at 1600 hours. Since that time, although the cease­ fire by and large has been observed by the parties throughout most of the island~ intermittent fighting and some forward movement has continued in the area west of Kyrenia, along the coast and on the southern slopes of the Kyrenia mountains. There has also been some movement on the eastern side of the main Turkish enclave, especially in the Bellapais area. Exchanges of fire and minor movements also occurred in the western and eastern outskirts of Nicosia. In the Famagusta harbour area, UNFICYP has had to interpose itself between the Turkish Cypriots and the National Guard.

C. Action taken pursuant to Security Council resolution 355 (1974)

8. The military representatives of Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom, together with a representative of UNFICYP, began meeting in Nicosia on 2 August 1974. The communiques issued by the military representatives have been reproduced in the Secretary-General'~ further reports on developments in Cyprus (S/11353, Add.13, para. 4; Add.15, para. 5; Add.16, para. 5; Add.17, para. 6; Add.18, para. 7). On 9 August the military representatives signed the agreement on the demarcation line, which has been submitted to the Foreign Ministers meeting at Geneva.

9. The military representat,ives have not as yet determined the size of the security zone to be established at the limit of the areas occupied by the Turkish armed forces on 30 July 1974 at 2200 hours Geneva time. Accordingly, the action of UNFICYP in relation to paragraph 3 (a) of the Geneva Declaration has been limited thus far to the participation of a representative of UNFICYP in the deliberations of the military representatives.

10. Concerning the provision of paragraph 3 (b) of the Geneva Declaration which provides for the immediate evacuation of "all the Turkish enclaves occupied by 11 Greek or Greek Cypriot forces , the Special Representative and the Force Commander have reported that on 2 August 1974 Vice-President Denktash addressed a letter to Acting President Clerides requesting that this evacuation should be carried out. It does not appear that Mr. Clerides has replied to that letter, but it is understood that the question of the implementation of paragraph 3 (b) will be discussed at the negotiations which were resumed in Geneva on 8 August. My Special Representative and the Force Commander have discussed this matter with the

I ••• S/11433 English Page 3 authorities on both sides in Nicosia. UNFICYP stands ready to assume its function of protecting the 'rurkish enclaves as soon as the essential preliminary step, namely, evacuation of the t'Greek or Greek Cypriot forces", has been carried out.

11. Pending the evacuation of Greek or Greek Cypriot forces, UNFICYP protective functions in respect of Turkish enclaves have continued. UNFICYP is regularly patrolling all the villages and areas occupied by the National Guard, as reported in my regular reports. Generally, UNFICYP assists the population by ascertaining needs, providing convoys for relief supplies, escorting persons to buy supplies and where possible providing water and medicaments. The able-bodied males from many of these villages have either been removed to prisoner-of-war camps or have been disarmed and released. Those under detention have had their names listed and are regularly visited by U~FICYP and the ICRC to ensure that their treatment is satisfactory.

12. The protective and humanitarian functions described above are also carried out in the "other Turkish enclaves 11 referred to in paragraph 3 (b) of the Geneva Declaration, as well as in mixed villages. Some of the enclaves are surrounded by the National Guard; others have not been affected by the hostilities. Some of the mixed villages have come under National Guard control; others are untouched. UNFICYP visits all these villages regularly and has provided relief convoys in the same way as for the villages referred to in paragraph 11. I shall report further on measures taken regarding UNFICYP security zones and the assumption of security and police functions in mixed villages by UNFICYP in my next report.

D. Exchange or release of detained military personnel and civilians

13. The International Committee of the Red Cross has informed me that on 3 August 1974 it received a note from the Turkish Government on the subject of the release of civilians and exchange of prisoners-of-war. The note reads as follows:

11 1. With a view to implement without delay Article 3, paragraph d of the Geneva Declaration, the Turkish Government is prepared to release regardless of numerical reciprocity Greek Cypriot and Greek civilians who happen to be in the Turkish regions in Cyprus if the interested parties are willing to do the same. The Turkish Government deems it necessary that the parties concerned should also make declaration to the effect that they are ready to release civilians and the International Committee of the Red Cross undertake to carry out its obligations towards both parties concerning these declarations. As can be seen from the above, the Turkish Government attaches priority to the release of civilians.

2. In conformity with the Geneva Declaration and the Geneva conventions of 1949, after the release of civilians the Turkish Government will be ready with the least possible delay to undertake the exchange of the prisoners-of-war. In order to determine the plan for the exchange, a list of prisoners-of-war in Turkish hands will be duly notified."

I ••• S/11433 English Page 1+

A similar communication was passed to UNFICYP on 4 August by the Tur!dsh Embassy. At the Embassy's request, that communication was transmitted to the Greek Cypriot authorities (S/11353/Add.15, para. 11).

14. The ICRC addressed the following reply to the Govern.~ent of Turkey on 5 August:

11 'rhe ICRC has received the text of a declaration, concerning the release and exchange of military and civilian detainees in Cyprus and T1 1:::-key, from the Turkish Government. According to information given to the ICRC, the same communication has been addressed to the Governments of Cyprus and Greece.

The ICRC repeats that it is prepared to assume the tasks envisaged in the Geneva Tripartite Declaration of 30 July regarding the exchange and release of civilian and military detainees. The ICRC proposes the following measures:

(a) Exchange of data regarding the numbers of, and names of, detained persons;

(b) The drawing up of a concerted exchange and release plan by the three Governments, or their representatives on the spot, in co-operation with the ICRC;

(c) In the waiting period before the exchange and release, the ICRC will visit the detainees, and will be given the opportunity to assist them;

(d) As regards civilian detainees, the establishment of a procedure whereby they may freely choose the place or zone where they wish to be released;

(e) No detainee should be obliged to return to his habitual place of residence, nor, on the other hand, to leave such habitual place of residence~ against his will.

The ICRC is prepared to co-operate on the humanitarian level to the various exchange and release operations. Should circumstances so require, the ICRC could take part in any transport operations necessary,

The ICRC calls to mind that the repatriation of prisoners envisaged by the Third Geneva Convention, and the release of civilians envisaged in the Fourth Geneva Convention, are two different operations envisaged in two distinct conventions. Consequently, neither of these operationf depends on the accomplishment of the othe:r: the two operations shc.1.llc )e carried out simultaneously. 11

15. On 7 August~ Acting President Clerides sent the following communication to representatives of the ICRC in Cyprus:

I ••• s/11433 English Page 5

"In conformity with the provisions of the Geneva cease-fi:.re A6reement, article 3 (d):

1. The Government of Cyprus is prepared to liberate immediately all Turkish civilian detainees in its hands, without regard to number, provided that the other side is prepared to do the same.

2. The operation should be carried out under the supervision of the International Cammi ttee of the Red Cross. This should be done on the basis of detailed nominative lists which should be handE:d over to the International Committee of the Red Cross forthwith by both sides.

3. It should be made absolutely clear that all civilian detainees thus liberated shall return with their families to their homes and be given all facilities to do so immediately. Permanent security of life and property should be assured to Greek Cypriots living in Turkish controlled areas to the satisfaction of the Government of Cyprus, as is assured for Turkish Cypriots living outside Turkish controlled areas.

4. With regard to the prisoners-of-war, the Government of Cyprus is prepared to exchange these under the supervision of the International Committee of the Red Cross according to arran~ements to be made after detailed lists shall have been handed over by both sides. The Government of Cyprus is ready to hand over forthwith the lists of prisoners-of-war. 11

E. Method of operation of UNFICYP

16, UNFICYP's current operations are based on a framework of stat;c posts, which have been established wherever possible at specially sensitive places, supplemented by frequent mobile patrols, both military and UNCIVPOL, to all parts of districts lying outside the Turkish controlled area. The main purposes of this activity are to generate a feeling of confidence and to obtain information concerning the local situation, not least in order to ascertain those areas where humanitarian and relief measures are required. A special problem exists in Nicosia city, where a close military confrontation exists and UNFICYP is endeavouring to interpose itself to prevent a recurrence of fighting and, in particular, to prevent shooting incidents, of which there continue to be many, from spreading throughout the city. This has required the establishment of a large number of United Nations posts along the area of confrontation and very active patrolling between them.

17. Within the Turkish controlled area, UNFICYP activities are centred on humanitarian and relief measures in Kyrenia and certain surrounding villages, especially Bellapais. These activities include the delivery of food to a considerable number of small isolated groups.

18. In all areas outside the Turkish controlled area UNFICYP is making special efforts to prevent looting and harassment of civilians, especially in the major towns, although UNFICYP resources do not permit complete surveillance over all the areas concerned. I •.• S/11433 English Page 6

19. A special humanitarian economi::s branch was set up at UNFICYP Headqu1rters on 22 July 1974 to deal specifically with problems of this nature. That branch, which is staffed by both military personnel and UNCIVPOL members, has been most active in organizing and co-ordinating a wide range of humanitarian and relief measures for both communities. The branch operates in close co-operation with the ICRC representatives in Cyprus. At the present time all food relief convoys to all parts of the island are organized by this branch, which also engages in many other :1umanitarian tasks, such as arranging the evacuation to hospital of urgent medical cases, both by United Nations helicopter and by road ambulance.

F. UNFICYP strength

20. At the 1782nd meeting of the Security Council, I explained that the present strength of UNFICYP was obviously not sufficient for it to ensure effectively the maintenance of the cease-fire. I therefore stated my intention• in compliance with Security Council resolution 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964 and as a first step, to ask the contributing countries urgently to reinforce their contingents which have been serving with illTFICYP.

21. In response to my request, the following pledges of military personnel to strengthen UNFICYP were received by me from the contributing countries:

Austria 60 Canada 460 Denmark 200 Finland 400 Sweden 350 United Kingdom 611

22. The table below indicates the projected military strength of UJ.IIFICYP by 14 August 1974 when the pledged reinforcements will have arrived in the island:

Austria 300 Canada 950 Denmark 432 Finland 626 Ireland 4 Sweden 575 United Kingdom 1,391 4,278 Hospital Unit (Austria) 14 Total

I •.• s/11433 :English Page 7

23. The Force Commander has assessed the desirable strength of UNFICYP in the light of lJIITFICYP's present and future tasks. As a result of his assessment the Force Commander has informed me that the reinforced strength of UNFICYP as described above is sufficient in terms of military personnel. However, he has recommended that the civilian police element of UNFICYP (UNCIVPOL) should be increased from 153 to 200. Accordingly, I have requested the Governments providing civilian police to UNFICYP to increase their police contingents in order to reach this figure.

G. Observations

24. In the days since the adoption of resol~tion 355 (1974) some progres~ has been achieved towards bringing peace to Cyprus. However, despite tbe efforts of the United Nations, of interested Governments and of the parties directly concerned, the cease-fire is not yet secure in all parts of the island; there have been forward movements of troops in some areas, and enclaves continue under occupation in other areas.

25. As indicated elsewhere in this report, UNFICYP has stood ready, since the adoption of resolution 355, to carry out the functions devolving upon it under tha.t resolution, and it has repeatedly urged the parties to take the necessary actions to that end, beginning with the full observance of the cease-fire. Nevertheless, the full implementation of Security Council resolutions 353 (1974) and 355 (1974) is still in its first stages.

26. In effectively carrying out its task of assisting the parties in implementinc; the resolutions of the Security Council, UNFICYP needs their full co-operation, as called for in paragraph 6 of resolution 353. There has been a measure of co-operation in recent days~ but a greater degree of co-operation is required if further progress is to be made in implementing resolutions 353 and 355, and if UNFICYP's efforts are to achieve their maximum effect. This particularly applies to the consolidation of the cease-fire, the establishment of' UNFICYP supervised security zones and the evacuation of occupied Turkish enclaves. I have had the opportunity to discuss these problems in Geneva with all of the parties concerned. UNITED NATIONS Distr.

Further report of the Secretary-General on developments in Cyprus

1. The following information is based on reports from my Special Representative and the Force Cornma..'lder of UNF'ICYP desct'ibing the situation in Cyprus from 1400 hours (local time) on 5 August to 1300 hours on 6 August 1974. The military situation during this period remained q_uiet throughout th" island with the exception of the Kar~.vas-Lapithos area and Famagusta harbour.

2. In Kyrenia West district machine-gun and mortar fire by Turkish forces was reported in the morning of 6 August in the Karavas-Lapithos area, and an UNFICYP patrol that was caught in the firing was obliged to withdraw. Machine-gun and mortar fire was also reported in the area of Agridhaki (AMR WE1408 and WE1409) 1/ at 1130 hours on 6 August. -

3, The city of Nicosia is being intensively patrolled by UNFICYP and only one minor cease-fire violation was reported.

4. In Famagusta, Turkish Cypriot fighters moved one platoon from the old city into the northern part of the harbour and erected a road block under the Diamond Tower (AMR WD8587) during the afternoon of 5 August. At 1810 hours the fighters opened some small arms fire in 'the direction of the National Guard, which thereupon brought six armoured cars into nearby Sakarya village (Af.'IR WD8488). The UNFICYP troops in the area inter~osed themselves between the two forces to prevent further firing, and reinforcements of British, Canadian and Finnish troops were brought in dlll:"ing the evening. A protest was received from Acting President Clerides, who stated that the Turkish Cypriots were seektng to gain control of Famagusta port. UNFICYP is negotiating the matter both in Nicosia and in Famagusta in an effort to find a peaceful solution and avoid a confrontation.

5. The sixth meeting of military representatives of Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom, together with a representative of UNFICYP, took place in the evening of 5 August. The following communique was issued:

"Following an aerial reconnaissance of the eastern area this morning, provisional agreement was reached today on a substantial part of the demarcation line. This is now subject to approval by the Greek and Turkish authorities. The remaining areas are under active consideration. The meeting ended at 2145 hours. The meeting on 6 August will commence at 0900 hours local time."

74-20745 I . •. S/11353/Add. 16 English Page 2

6. After the seventh meeting on 6 August, the following communiqu~ was issued:

1 ' By mutual agreement the representatives met this morning at 1120 hours local time. This was a little later than planned in view of the situation on the northern sector which made it necessary for the representatives to seek further instructions. The meeting then considered the general area of Nicosia. They agreed to examine information provided by UNFICYP for the purpose of assisting the establishment of the demarcation line. The meeting ended at 1800 hours local time. The representatives consider that they have made some progress today and will reconvene tomorrow, 7 August, at 0900 hours local time. 11

7. Concerning humanitarian problems, UNFICYP, at the request of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), has again assumed responsibility for most of the relief convoys bringing assistance to Greek and Turkish Cypriots. UNFICYP convoys were: dispatched on 6 August to Kyrenia (Dome Hotel) and Bellapais, where limited mcvement of such convoys is again permitted. In the Limas sol district, Turkish Red. Crescent relief supplies have been flown to Akrotiri (British Sovereign Ease) by British military aircraft and distributed to Turkish Cypriots throughout Limassol and Paphos districts. Supplies provided by Turkish authorities were also moved, by UNFICYP convoys, to Knodhara, Kouklia·, Lourouj ina and Ayios Sozomenos. UNFICYP is planning to run, on the average, six three-ton truckloads of food to villages throughout the island every da;y.

8. Restrictions on the freedom of movement of UNFICYP in the area occupied by Turkish forces were relaxed during the period under review. UNFICYP economic officers are making arrangements to visit certain Greek Cypriot villages in that area. At Bellapais, UNFICYP patrolling has been resumed in the village by agreement with the Turkish military authorities. On 5 August the Turkish authorities returned 100 Greek Cypriot prisoners to the village and released them to their homes. These persons, together with several hundred Greek Cypriot civilians who had remained in the village, can move freely. The ICRC has visited 127 Greek Cypriot men who had been brought from Kyrenia to the Saray police station. No further busloads of Greek CJ·priot women and children have been delivered over the green line during this period. The situation of the Greek Cypriot population of Karavas and Lapithos is not known, as fighting is continuing in the area.

9. Developments relatin~ to the Turkish Cypriot population in areas under National Guard control may be summed up as follows:

(a) In Nicosia district, Turkish Cypriot villages are being visited daily by U:NFICYP. As some are short of food and medical supplies, UNFICYP will seek to bring relief convoys into the area on 7 August.

(b) In Kyrenia West district, the Turkish Cypriots in the mixed village of Dhiorios are staying in the local school building, but it is not clear whether they are there under restraint or have gone there of their own accord for protection. At Ayia Irini the women and children remain in the village, whereas the men have gone to the village of Kambyli which remains under Turkish Cypriot control. Turkish Cypriots in this district do not appear to face serious food problems.

I ... S/11353/Add.16 English Page 3

(c) At Famagusta, some looting has taken place in the Turkish Cypriot localities of Sakaria and Baykal, close to the old city, but the situation has been brought under control after strong protests by UNFICYP. There are now over 10,000 Turkish Cypriots in the old city, twice the normal population. There is no serious food shortage since the arrival of relief convoys (see S/11353/Add.15, para. 7 (e)). Supplies from warehouses on the nearby wharf are also being used. Food is said to be needed at other Turkish Cypriot villages in Famagusta district, and UNFICYP is organizing convoys to provide it.

( d) In Larnaca, some 700 Turkish Cypriot fighters are being held in the Greek school under UNFICYP protection, but are fed by the National Guard. The Turkish Cypriot inhabitants of Alaminos, who had abandoned the village, are slowly returning following the establishment of an UNFICYP observation post. In the Scala area of Larnaca there have been some caaes of looting. ,

(e) In Limassol district, looting and destruction on a considerable scale occurred in the Turkish Cypriot quarter of Limassol town and in the villages of Evdhimou and Alekhtora. In the village of Mari, which surrendered to the Greek Cypriots, houses were searched by the National Guard but there have been no reports of looting.

(f) In Paphos district, all but six Turkish Cypriot villages have surrendered their arms to the National Guard. So far, the six villages that continue under Turkish Cypriot military control have only been visited by UNFICYP patrols. UNFICYP is seeking permission from the National Guard to bring in relief convoys as well. One village, Souskiou, has been abandoned by the Turkish Cypriots and looting has occurred. All prisoners in this district are held by the National Guard at Yeroskipou where they are regularly visited by UNFICYP and the ICRC. Minor looting occurred in the Turkish Cypriot quarters of Paphos and Polis, but the situation is now reported under control. The Force Commander has protested the demolition of Turkisll-Cypriot military positions carried out after the cease­ fire.

(g) In Lefka district, relief convoys have reached Lefka town where the Turkish Cypriot fighters surrendered and have been disarmed, and also Limnitis and Kokkina, which remain under Turkish Cypriot control. Minor looting has been reported in Lefka. Prisoners in this district are held at V.orphou, where they are regularly visited by UNFICYP and the ICRC. All other Turkish Cypriot villages are being visited regularly by UNFICYP, which has brought in water and medical supplies as required. UN I T"E D NATIONS Distr.

Further re-port of the Secretary-General on developments in Cyprus

1. '11he following information is based on reports from my Special Representative and the Force Commander of UNFICYP describing the situation in Cyprus·from 2200 hours (local time) on 3 August to 1400 hours on 5 August 1974, and on a number of cables giving an account of developments in the humanitarian field. The military situation during this period remained generally quiet, except for some firing on lf August in the Lapithos area and in the western part of Nicosia city. There bave been no reports of shooting on 5 August.

2. In Kyrenia West district, following exchanges of fire in the early morning of 4 August in the Lapithos-Karavas area (S/11353/Add.14, para. 2), Turkish troops advanced their forward positions approximately 300 metres westward from their previous lines at .AMR WE205118. y

3. The exchange of fire in Nicosia city referred to above took place in the evening of 4 August, with firing across the Pedieos River near the Ledra Palace Hotel. Firing stopped after negotiations by UNFICYP.

4. The UNFICYP observation post on the outskirts of Bellapais (S/11353/Add.14, para. 3), initially re-established with only two Finnish soldiers, was increased to nine men as from the morning of 5 August. Elsewhere in the main Turkish-Cypriot enclave UNFICYP has reported restrictions on its freedom of mo,_rement.

5. The third meeting of military representatives of Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom, together with a representative of UNFICYP, took place on 3 August. The following communique was issued:

"The representatives exchanged views throughout the day which confirmed certain opposing views regarding the location of the demarcation line and the role which the United Nations should play in carrying out the tasks assigned in the Geneva Declaration.

The representatives agreed to refer certain of these matters to their respective superior for direction and to meet again on 4 August at 1000 hours local time. 11

74-20660 I . •. S/11353/Add.15 English Page 2

The fourth and fifth meetings were held on 4 August. The followinv, conmunique was issued after the_ fourth meeting:

"The meeting assembled at 1000 hours local time. We agreed to attempt to establish where the Turkish forces are today, Sunday 4 August 1974, without prejudice to discussions in the future as to where their positions were in fact at 2200 hours on 30 July. We decided to visit by helicopter four areas on the ground. We adjourned from 1145 hours to 1445 hours to enable the Greek and Turkish representatives to clear the flight with their respective military authorities and to make reception facilities at the proposed landing points. If time does not permit all four areas to be visited today the prograrrme will be continued on 5 August 1974."

After the fifth meeting the following communique was issued:

"The representatives resumed their discussions at 1914 hours local time following the visit by helicopter to certain areas on the western extremity of the Turkish controlled area. The aerial reconnaissance having provided information of use to the representatives they were able to record certain confirmed data and to isolate points for ~1rther examination.

The meeting adjourned at 2230 hours and will recommence 0n 5 August at 0730 hours. The aerial reconnaissance will be continued starting in the north­ eastern area. 11

The military representatives carried out an aerial reconnaissance by helicopter in the eastern area on 5 August and reconvened in the afternoon.

6. With regard to humanitarian problems, the areas of major concern continue to be the Greek Cypriot villages in Kyrenia district (east and west) and the Turkish Cypriot villages in other Qistricts.

7, Developments relating to the 'furkish Cypriot population in areas under National Guard control may be summarized as follows:

(a) After the outbreak of hostilities the National Guard undertook military action against most of the Turkish enclaves and villages throughout the island. The majority of Turkish Cypriot villages outside the main enclave were occupied by the National Guard.

(b) In most cases the Turkish Cypriot men of military age were taken prisoner, whereas women and children remained in their villages. Some 5,300 Turkish Cypriots sought refuge in the British Sovereign Base Areas (SBA).

(c) In Larnaca district, some 800 Turkish Cypriots are kept as prisoners. There is also a prison camp in the stadium of Limassol, where some 1,300 Turkish Cypriots were detained; most of these have since been transferred to a school. Prisoners from Lefka district have been transferred in part to Limassol. UNCIVPOL is permitted to visit this prison camp and has reported that the detainees are well treated. There is a shortage of blankets. I . •. S/113 53/Add.15 English Page 3

(d) UNFICYP has organized a series of supply convoys to areas ~.J"here Turkish Cypriots were surrounded by the National Guard and were reported to be in need of food, water, and medicine.

(e) Convoys were sent in particular to Knodhara and the old city of Famagusta (Famagusta district) and to Limnitis and Kokkina (Lefka district). Since 31 July this task has been assumed by the ICRC, with UNFICYP assistance.

(f) Incidents of looting of Turkish Cypriot homes and properties by irregular Greek Cypriot forces have been reported in Limassol town and Evdhimou (Limassol district). These incidents were eventually stopped by the combined efforts of the National Guard and UNFICYP troops in the area.

8. Developments relating to the Greek Cypriot population in areas occupied by Turkish forces may be summarized as follows:

(a) After the outbreak of hostilities, the greater part of the Greek Cypriot population tried to leave the area where landings had occurred. Those who remained in Greek Cypriot towns and villages were brought by Turkish troops to several assembly points, principally in Kyrenia (Dome Hotel), Bellapais, Karmi and Trimithi. After some time most foreign nationals could leave the area with the help of UNFICYP and a rescue operation by the British Navy.

(b) Most of the male population of the Greek Cypriot villages were taken prisoner and escorted by Turkish troops into the areas of Boghaz-Geunyely-Orta Keuy. Some of the women and children of many villages were eventually told to leave their villages and to cross the lines into territory controlled by the National Guard. Others were transported, without their possessions, to Nicosia by bus and set free with instructions to cross the Green line into the Greek Cypriot sector of the city.

(c) In the Kyrenia area, most shops and many houses are reported to have been looted. Autcmobiles left behind by Greek Cypriots and foreign nationals have been damaged or removed.

(d) The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), with the assistance of UNFICYP, has endeavoured to send convoys with food and other essential supplies to the detained Greek Cypriot civilians. The Turkish Army has announced that all civilians would henceforth be fed by the Turkish authorities.

9, UNFICYP has established a special office to deal with the problem of missing persons. This office functions in close co-operation with the ICRC and other competent authorities. About 800 persons, including both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, have been reported missing. Some 300 missing persons have been located.

10. In general the supply situation for the civilian population is fairly satisfactory, although certain areas, particularly in the vicinity of Kyrenia, are facing difficulties. Restrictions on the freedom of movement of UNFICYP have made it difficult to obtain an accurate picture of the.situation.

I . .. 8/11353/Add.15 English Page 4

11. During the night of 4 August, the Turkish Embassy passed the following message to UNFICYP with the request that it be transmitted to the Greek Cypriot authorities:

11 With reference to paragraph 3 (d) of the Geneva Declaration, Turkey states her readiness to release all civilian Greek and Greek Cypriots who are in the Turkish controlled areas without regard to equality of numbers.

Turkey seeks a similar statement from the other interested parties and the ICRC should undertake its responsibilitier; and. fulfil its duty in that respect and state its readiness to co-operate. Turkey gives priority to the release of civilians and as soon as the release of civilians is accomplished the exchange of prisoners should take place." Di.str.

The following information is based on reports from nw Special Representative and the Force Commander of l.IDTFICYP describing the situation in Cyprus at 2200 hours on 1 August and at 1400 hours (local time) on 2 August 1974. The latest report indicated that the cease-fire appeared to be generally holding except for spor~dic firing in the Kyrenia range.

2. Developments in Kyrenia district included some firing on 1 August west of Kyrenia, where Turkish forces had entered the southern part of Karavas but remained outside Lapithos (see S/11353/Add.12, para. 2). In the evening of that day additional exchanges of fire and shelling were reported south-west and west of the city of Kyrenia, and in the morning of 2 August some firing was again reported west of Nicosia and also west of Lapithos. There were no reports of fighting on the eastern flank of the main Turkish Cypriot enclave. Turkish forces in the evening of 1 August entered Bellapais.

3. In the Nicosia area, there was an exchange of fire in the evening of 1 August in the vicinity of the Ledra Palace Hotel. On 2 August the Force Commander issued an appeal to the Connnander of the Turkish forces in Cyprus and to the Commander of the National Guard asking them to make every possible effort to prevent any recurrence of firing in the capital and offering the assistance of UNFICYP in achieving the complete observance of the cease-fire.

4. The first meeting of military representatives of Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom, together with a representative of UNFICYP, was held :from 1630 hours to 2030 hours on 2 August 1974 to discuss practical arrangements to determine the limits of areas occupied.

Further report of the Secretary-General on developments in Cyprus

l. The following information is based on reports from my Special Representative and the Force Commander of UNFICYP describing the situation in Cyprus at 2300 hours on 29 July, 2000 hours on 30 July and 1600 and 2200 hours on 31 July 1974.

2. The situation during this period remained generally quiet except for the Kyrenia district, where fighting continued on 29 July in the area of Ayios Epiktetos (see S/11353/Add.10, para. 3). On 30 July, there was only sporadic shooting on the edges of the main Turkish Cypriot enclave. On 31 July, the National Guard withdrew from the Greek Cypriot towns of Karavas and Lapithos, west of Kyrenia, after fighting broke out again in that area. An UNFICYP patrol was obliged to withdraw from Larnaka (Kyrenia district) when it came under artillery fire. Turkish forces advanced approximately 1000 metres west from Ayios Ermolaos, and approximately 500 metres south from a point near the Nicosia race course (from AMR WO 214937 to WO 214932).

3. UNFICYP has continued to patrol throughout the island except in the area occupied by Turkish forces. In that area, UNFICYP resupply vehicles on 31 July were unable to gain access to UNFICYP posts. In Larnaca district, an UNFICYP observation post has been established on Alaminos.

UNFICYP will continue to play an active role, including investigations and local negotiations, and will fully assist and co-operate in carrying out humanitarian relief operations. No relief convoys had left Nicosia as of 1300 hours on 31 July, but it was hoped that Red Cross convoys carrying food, water and medical supplies might leave later in the day for various parts of the island. ~ UNITED NATIONS Distr. GENERAL SECURITY S/1135 3/ Add.11 COUNCIL 30 July 1974 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH ------Further report by the Secretary-General on developments in Cy:prus

l. This report provides information on the humanitarian and relief activities of UNFICYP. These acti v:i.ties are carried out in an impartial manner to assist members of the two communities afflicted by the fighting, including Turkish Cypriots in areas controlled by the National Guard and Greek Cypriots in areas behind Turkish Army lines.

2. During the recent hostilities, most of the Turkish Cypriot areas in the districts of Lefka, Limassol, Paphos, Larnaca and Famagusta came under the effective control of the Cyprus Government and the National Guard. The Turkish Cypriots in some of the larger centres, such ns Limassol and Paphos, surrendered to the Government and are being held in custody of some kind. Many of the smaller villages have been abandoned and their inhabitants have moved to larger Turkish Cypriot centres, such as the old city of' Famagusta and Knodhara. In yet another categorJ are places such as Larnaca, where Turkish Cypriots are under United Nations protection.

3. Areas inhabited by Greek Cypriots and occupied by Turkish forces are mostly in Kyrenia district. There are approximately 500 Greek Cypriots under United Nations protection at the Dome Hotel, Kyrenia, and about 2,000 in Bellapais. Other occupied villages inhabited by Greek Cypriots are Karmi, Kazaphani, Trirnithi, Thermia and Mia Milea.

4. UNFICYP has extended assistance to Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots by endeavouring to provide for their safety and seeking to prevent mistreatment, and also by furnishing escorts, vehicles and drivers to take in medical and food supplies. UNFICYP has also regularly inspected places where civilian detainees are being held, especially at Limassol. To assist with relief operations, UNFICYP has established liaison with the International Committee of the Red Cross, the United Kingdom High Commission and the United States Embassy.

5. As of 29 July 1974, 10 UNFICYP convoys had carried food, water, baby food, limited medical supplies and blankets to Bellapais, the Dome Hotel, Kyrenia, Famagust a old city, Kaz aphani , Knodhara, Karmi, Temblos , Thermi a and Trirnithi. In regard to relief convoys intended for Bellapais and the Dome Hotel, the Turkish forces on 29 July informed Ul\TFICYP that any outside assistance should be channelled for distribution through the Turkish Army. No_ relief convoys left Nicosia on 30 July. .

6. As previously reported, UNFICYP has visited or has established observation at almost all Turkish Cypriot and mixed villages to ensure the safety of the inhabitants, especially where the Turkish Cypriot fighters surrendered their arms to the National Guard and requested UNFICYP protection. UNFICYP is informing the Red Cross and other r--=lief organizations of material needs.

7. In Limassol, about 1,500 Turkish Cypriots are being held in the stadium, which is visited several times a day by UNFICYP military personnel and by the UI':FICYP Civilian Police. The local UNFICYP Commander has reported that tents and lean-tos have been provided as shelter, that food and water are in adequate supply, that a Turkish and a Greek doctor are permanently in attendance and that sanitary facilities are satisfactory. The stadium was visited on 28 July by ICRC delegates, who inspected conditions and distributed blankets.

8. At Fa."'Uagusta, there are approximately 5,000 Turkish Cypriots in the old city. Their water supply has been restored after UNFICYP intervention. Initially, local UNFICYP troops assisted with supplies, and on 29 July an UNFICYP supply convoy was sent in. Another UNFICYP convoy on 29 July went to Knodhara, where there are approximately 4,000 Turkish Cypriots. NATION!; Distr. SECUR!T\f GENERAL S/11353/Add.10 COU~'-iC~l 28 July 1974 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH

2. The situation has remained generally quiet in most of the Island exce~t for the Kyre:iia. district. In th,.t area, Turk,i:sh forces which had been previously reported oper2tin[', west of the main Turkish Cypriot enclave as far as the Yerola.1':kos-Myrtou Hoad (S/11353/Add.9, para. 1), have now consolidated their positions in the area of Photta (A!'IB WE 2002). 1/ The villqges of Karavas, Lapithos and Hyrtou remain in !1fational Gu2.r0. hancls. The villat_l'.e of Aiyos Ermolaos 1s virtually deserted and is held by Turkish forces.

3. On the eastern flank of the enclave, Turkish forces were engaged in heavy figbting with Ifatiornc.l Guard forces as from 1900 hours on 27 July in the area of Kcutsovendis (Ar-IR vTE 3835). Tanks were involved in the fighting on the Turkish side. The village remained in National Gmi.rd hands as of the afternoon of 28 July. On the other hand, Buffn.vento Castle has been occupied by Turkish forces. At 1800 hours on~2e July fip;htinr; broke out alone; the coast line in the area of Ayios Epiktetos (AMR WE 3~09) ~ invol·vin0r, tanks and naval support on the 'rurkish side.

4. In Nicosia City Turkish Cypriot fighters have restricted access to their sector by UfJFICYP to two entrances near the Ledra Palace Hotel. The fighters have also denied. access to their former accommodations in the Green Line area to Canadian UNFICYP troops. UNFICYP Headquarters is seeking to negotiate this question with the Turkish Cypriot leadership.

r:: /• The Force Commander has divided the Kyrenia district of UNFICYP (see S/11294, para. 5, and map) into two parts. The Finnish contingent has been given responsibility for the new Kyrenia (East) district, and the British contingent has been tsiven responsibility for KyreniA. ({vest) district.

1. The following information is based on reports from my Special Representative and the Force Commander of U1'JFICYP describing the situation in Cyprus at 1800 and 2100 hours on 25 July and at 1000 hours on 26 July 1974.

2. The Turkish forces have continued their advance in several directions from the area under their control in Kyrenia district and in the east of Nicosia city. In the latter area Turkish forces have occupied most of the old salient protruding into the Turkish Cypriot sector in the Trakhonas and Omorphita areas.

3. South of Kyrenia, Turkish forces have moved sizable forces of tanks and troops down the Kyrenia road and thence eastward in the general direction of Kythrea. Further north, there was heavy bombing and shelling in the arees of Ayios Yeoryios and St. Hilarion in the morning of 26 July. Other Turkish troops just south of the Kyrenia range were reported on 26 July to have reached the vicinity of Myrtou at the western end of the Kyrenia range. West of Nicosia, Yerolakkos has been occupied by Turkish forces.

4. In the other districts of Cyprus the cease-fire, which had been agreed by both parties for 1600 hours on 22 July, has stabilized gradually.

5. UNFICYP has continued its efforts to assist in the implementation of the cease-fire and to ensure its observance wherever possible. In the area where the cease-fire is not holding, UNFICYP has been patrolling immediately outside the scene of actual hostilities on both flanks of the main enclave, in a reconnaissance role.

6. About 500 Greek Cypriots are in the Dome Hotel, Kyrenia, under United Nations protection following allegations that there had been some sniping at Turkish soldiers during the night of 24 July. At Bellapais there are 5,000 Greek Cypriots under United Nations protection.

7. In view of the vulnerable position of Turkish Cypriots in isolated areas and communities in various parts of the country, all UNFICYP contingents have been instructed to pay particular attention to the situation in Turkish Cypriot villages. UNFICYP has visited or has established itself at most of the Turkish Cypriot villages to ensure their safety. The majority of Turkish Cypriot fighters who have laid down their arms in these areas have been placed under UNFICYP protection.

2. During 24 July the Turkish forces bege.n to advance :!.n. several directions from the are'av\1nder ··their·· corit:r.oi between N:i.co'3ia and Kyreni.2. M. the same time, _ National Guard forces in outlying parts of the country SLJ.rl'Ounded a mn:nber of Turkish Cypriot villages and demanded their surrender. lTifv'ICYP was requested b;r the Turkish Cypriot leadership and by t:!:1.e Ambassador of T~1rkey to assist the Turkisb villagers, and has done so wherever possible. UNFICY:? ccntinued to exert strenuous efforts to further the maintenen.ce of the cease-fire. ~~o this end, UNFICYP posts and patrols have been re-established throughout the several districts. Hunm.n:i.tarian tasks have been carried out and allegations of in!'rnmane trentment :investigated..

3. In Nicosia district, the situation at Nicosia airpc1t r2r.iained cr·"dei:.. Th2 airport has been held, since 1500 hours on 23 JuJ.y, oy a mixed force comprising elements of all contingents of UNFICYP. Turkish troops ar-<:: located to the north of the airport, and National Guard forces to the south.

4. I informed the members of the Council in detail of the ever.ts of 24 July at tJ:-1e airport during the consultations on the night of 24 -July-. At a private meeting of the Council late on the evening of 24 July, a letter ws,3 recd.ved from the Foreign Minister of Turkey which clarified the matter (S/11378).

5. Elsewhere in Nicosia, fighting broke out during the day in the British High Commission area and along the Green Line, as a result of which the Turkish forces made some gains in the former area and also along Herre.es Streets Omorphita and Trakhonas ·. In response to rumours that the Ledra Palace Hotel was being used by snipers, officials of the Turkish Embassy were escorted by Uf1FICYP through the hotel, which proved to be free of National Guarrl sold:i_erz. West of Nicosia 'l'urkish forces reached the vicinity of Yerolakkos.

j6. In Kyrenia district, Turkish forces continued to advance west of Kyrenia town :lpast Karavas in the direction of Koutsovendis ( apprcximatE' map reference WE384028), on the eastern edge of the main enclave. A number of Greek C-Jpriots were still under lUnited Nations protection at the Dome Hotel, Kyrenia, and in Bellapais. UNFICYP was attempting to provide supplies and medic'3.l aid to the people at Bellapais.

74-19573 I ... S/11353/Add,7 English· Page 2

7. In Limassol district, the situation was quiet.

8. In Famagusta district, UHFICYP continued to assist the Turkish Cypriots in the old city of Famagusta and in villages including Chatos and Knodhara.

9. In Lefka district, the National Guard occupied a number of former Turkish Cypriot fighter positions around Lirnnitis. The Turkish Cypriots threatened to shell four Greek Cypriot villages unless the National Guard vacated the above positions. Kokkina remained quiet and the cease-fire there was holding.

10. In other districts, UNFICYP was establishing observation posts, running patrols a'1d extending humanitarian assistance wherever possible.

11. Throughout the island, the functioning of UNFICYP has been affected by its efforts to further the observance of the cease-fire called for by the Security Council in resolution 353 (1974) of 20 July and demanded in resolution 354 (1974) of 23 July. Tne present situation in Cyprus was not envisaged when the Council adopted the basic resolution on TJNFICYP, resolution 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964, although in paragraph 5 of that resolution the Council recommended that one of the 11 - functions of the Force should be in the_Jpterest of preserving international peace and security, to use its best efforts·-·-- ... ----··~to prevent a recurrence of fighting Yl . ..•

Resolution 353 (1974) 7 1rhich among--·other-·things-calls .. for a. cea·se.:.:fire ;··-also calls on all parties "to co-operate fully with UNFICYP to enable it to carry out its mandate". I have reported regularly to the Council on developrr.ents in relation to the observance of the cease-fire called f'or by the Council, and on UNFICYP' s efforts to assist in maintaining it. It has been my understanding that UNFICYP should, and indeed must, use its best efforts to ensure as far as its capabilities permit, that the cease-fire called for by the Council is maintained. Obviously, a United Nations Peace--keeping Force, in a- deeply··-serious situation such as the one prevailing in

Cyprus 9 cannot be expected to stand by and not make the maximum effort to ensure that a resolution of the Security Council was put into effect. For this reason my Special Representative, the Force Commander and all the personnel of UNFICYP have, as reported by me to the Security Council, been engaged in numerous efforts to restore the cease-fire, to ensure that it was observed and to prevent any incidents from escalating into a full recurrence of fighting.

12. At the 1782nd meeting of the Council I explained that the present strength of Ui'IFICYP was obviously not sufficient for it effectively to ensure the maintenance of the cease-fire. I therefore stated my intention, in compliance with resolution 186 (1964) and as a first step, to ask the troop contributing countries urgently to reinforce their contingents which are serving with UNFICYP.

13. In response to rrry request, the following pledges of military personnel to strengthen UNFICYP have been received by me from the contributing countries:

2. Although during this period violations of the cease-fire agreement appeared to decrease in number, some serious breaches occurred. Throughout the country, largely as a result of the efforts of UNFICYP, many potential problems were satisfactorily resolved and the danger of major clashes averted. Following the assumption by Mr. Clerides of the office of Acting President (S/11353/Add.4, para. 14), a new cease-fire in Nicosia was negotiated to become effective around 2100 hours. The cease-fire elsewhere in the Island appeared to be holding~

3. In Nicosia district, the fighting at Trakhonas (ibid., para. 5) continued throughout the day, moving slowly eastwards into the Greek Cypriot sector. UNFICYP was negotiating with both sides in an effort to restore compliance with the cease-fire.

4. As previously indicated (ibid., para. 4), an agreement was reached with both sides under which UNFICYP would control the Nicosia airport complex, including the RAF facilities and Camp UNFICYP. Under the agreement, which was reached at 1430 hours, both sides agreed to withdraw within one hour to positions at least 500 metres outside the airport perimeter. At 1500 hours Ul'-IFICYP troops and scout cars were moved into the airport area. At 1730 hours UNFICYP reported Turkish tanks advancing and firing in the area. The Turkish authorities informed UNFICYP that they did not concur with the agreement reached at 1430 hours and that the attack would continue. Further negotiations resulted in a withdrawal of the Turkish troops. UNFICYP reports that the airport is unusable as the runway is damaged and has moreover been blocked with trucks, and the control tower is inoperative.

5. Also at 1430 hours, UNFICYP troops in Camp Kronberg, Nicosia, reported that they were caught in a crossfire between Turkish and National Guard forces. This resulted in two Canadian casualties, one of them serious. After warnings to both sides to cease fire, the Canadian troops were obliged to return fire in self-defence. As a result, all firing ceased immediately.

6. At 1~30 hours, the British High Commission and the French Embassy reported small arms firing at their buildings and cars. The Greek and USSR Embassies came under mortar fire at about the same time. There were no casualties in either Embassy, but the Soviet Embassy reported three of its automobiles hit and heavy damage to the entrance to the Ambassador's residence. The area became quiet later in the evening. 7. In Kyrenia district, the to,m of Kyreniaj except for the castle, was reported to be in the hands of the Turkish forces. There were a number of civilians trapped along the coast. All refugees from the town of Kyrenia and from the area to the east have been evacuated. Approximately 200 persons in the area west of the town were awaiting evacuation by sea on 24 July.

8. In the Famagusta district UNFICYP evacuated a number of Turkish wounded from the old city of Famagusta and escorted them to a hospital. Swedish troops, after visiting Chatos, (ibid., para. 8) arranged to provide water and other supplies to the Turkish Cypriot population of Knodhara.

9. Larnaca district was reported generally quiet.

10. In Limassol district, approximately 200 Turkish Cypriot refugees sought protection at Episkopi, in the Sovereign Base Area.

11. In Paphos district, some fighting involving National Guard irregulars occurred in the area of Ayios Ioannis, Paphos and Marona, but the situation has since become generally quiet. The Turkish Cypriot village of Androlikou ) surrendered to the National Guard.

12. In Lefka district, the situation has become stabilized and UNFICYP observation posts are being re-established.

13. A meeting between Acting President Clerides and Vice-President Denktash (ibid., para. 14) was arranged by my Special Representative and the Force Commander. The meeting took place on 23 July in a very constructive atmosphere, and is expected to contribute to the maintenance of the cease-fire throughout the Island. UNITED NATIONS Distr. SECURITY GENERAL S/11353/Add.4 COUNCIL 23 July 1974 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH

Further report by the Secretary-General on developments in Cyprus

1. The following information is based on a report from my Special Representative and the Force Commander of UNFICYP giving an account of developments from 1600 hours local time on 22 July 1974, when the cease-fire came into force, to 2100 hours, and on subsequent reports covering developments until about 1500 hours on 23 July.

2. During the hours that followed the entry into force of the cease-fire there were numerous violations of the cease-fire agreement. Within 5 hours UNFICYP observed and recorded 29 incidents. In an effort to head off the potential danger of a breakdown of the cease-fire agreement, the Special Representative and the Force Commander were in constant contact with National Guard headquarters, and with the Charge d'Affaires of Turkey.

3. The cease-fire held well during the night of 22/23 July (see S/11353/Add.3, para. 8), but after daylight violations occurred around the edges of the main Turkish Cypriot enclave. UNFICYP continued to re-establish observation posts and to patrol lines of confrontation wherever possible, to arrange local cease-fires, to investigate complaints and to render assistance to victims of the ·fighting including both Cypriot and foreign nationals.

4. In Nicosia area, after a quiet night, fighting developed in the vicinity of the airport at 0930 hours and continued throughout the morning until 1230 hours when the Chief of Staff of UNFICYP arranged a cease-fire. The airport was declared a United Nations controlled area and was occupied by UNFICYP troops after National Guard troops had agreed to withdraw. An UNFICYP announcement was broadcast in several languages which said:

"The United Nations Force in Cyprus is taking over the Nicosia International Airport temporarily after a new and serious breach of the cease-fire earlier this morning in the vicinity of the airport. The airport thus becomes a United Nations internationally protected area. This will at the same time facilitate the arrival of reinforcements for UNFICYP."

5. Elsewhere in the Nicosia area, the fighting around Trakhonas which began before the cease-fire (ibid., para. 3) continued. At 1800 hours on 22 July Turkish troops supported by tanks crossed the Green Line.

74-19419 I .. . S/11353/Add.4 English Page 2 ·

6. About mid-day on 23 July the Turkish army began mortar shelling in the area of Camp Kronberg which houses UNFICYP Canadian troops. Mortar bombs fell on the British High Commission building. At 1430 hours the National Guard began moving forward into the area comprising Camp Kronberg, Wolseley Barracks and the Ledra Palace Hotel. UNFICYP finally succeeded in arranging a cease-fire.

7, In Kyrenia district, an UNFICYP convoy reached Camp Tjiklos at 1730 hours on 22 July to assist in the evacuation of United Nations troops and civilians in that area. The convoy was stopped by Turkish troops on the grounds that National Guard officers and families were in the convoy and it returned to the Tjiklos area. During the night, the Turkish forces captured Dhikomo and attacked Sykhari further east, using tanks.

8. In Famagusta district the cease-fire seems gradually to have become effective. UNFICYP troops visited Chatos village on 23 July and were informed by the local Turkish Cypriot leader that complaints of massacres were unfounded. More than 4,000 Turkish Cypriots were said to have congregated at nearby Knodhara, where UNFICYP was attempting to assist them. UNFICYP also supervised the surrender of the Turkish Cypriots at Platonissa. The National Guard turned off the water supply in the Turkish Cypriot sector of Famagusta. UNFICYP forwarded an urgent request to the National Guard to restore the water supply on humanitarian grounds.

9. In Larnaca district, the National Guard attacked and captured Kophinou. The Turkish Cypriots in that village were placed under UNFICYP protection. UNFICYP also supervised surrenders of Turkish Cypriots in the villages of Killea, Kalokhorio, Kivisil, Mari and Tokhni. In Larnaca town, 738 Turkish Cypriots remained under UNFICYP protection.

10. In limassol district, UNFICYP succeeded in gaining access to the Turkish Cypriots held in the stadium (S/11353/Add.2, para. 8) and reported that they were being well treated.

11. In Paphos district, a charge that massacres of Turkish Cypriots took place at Polis was investigated and found to be unfounded, A cease-fire was arranged at Vrecha and UNFICYP observation posts were re-established in the city of Paphos and at Stavrokono.

12. In Lefka district, the evacuation of civilian personnel was arranged on 22 July and thereafter the Danish contingent continued to maintain detachments in Limnitis and Xeros,

13. The Commander of the National Guard visited the Force Commander of UNFICYP at 0830 hours on 23 July and gave assurances of complete co-operation to assist in the implementation of the cease-fire, and of full freedom of movement for United Nations ground and air patrols. UNFICYP is also making every effort to establish effective liaison with the Commander of the Turkish troops with a view to obtaining similar assurances concerning the maintenance of the cease-fire.

14. At 1450 hours on 23 July the Force Commander received a telephone call from Mr. Clerides, who stated that he had taken office as Acting President of Cyprus and informed UNFICYP that he wished to adhere strictly to the terms of the cease-fire. He stated that he was trying to get in touch with Vice-President Denktash to enlist his co-operation in stopping violations of the cease-fire. ,.....,_ .. '\.

EXCHANGE OF MESSAGES DATED 21 AND 22 JULY 1974 BETWEEN THE SECRETARY-GENERAL AND THE GOVERNMENTS OF GREECE AND TURKEY

I. Identical messages dated 21 July 1974_r~pm the Secre~ar_y~General addressed to the Prime M_inister_s_ of Greece ~A£....'J:'urkey

I am deeply concerned at the continuing and savage fighting in Cyprus. May I thPr0£crc a~~eal to you, Mr. Prime Minister, with the expression of my en.rueciL hope that your Government will respond urgently ana. positively to the resolution of the United Nations Security Council on the Cyprus problem adopted ,,n~njmously on 20 July 1974. It is imperative, both for the people of Cyprus and for international peace, that the fighting in Cyprus should cease immediately and that the negotiations called for by ·the Security Council should start without delay.

· I am sure that your Government will find it possible to respond positively to the Council decision in order that peace in Cyprus and in the Eastern Mediterranean may be restored.

Please accept, Mr. Prime Minister, the assurances of my highest consideration.

II. Reply of the Government of Greece

III. Reply of the Government of Turkey: letter elated ~:::: July 1974 from the Prime Minister of Turkey addressed to the Secretary-General

You will no doubt recall that I have informed you of our e;reat concern on the developments which took place in Cyprus and which led to the destruction of independence of the State of Cyprus and the elimination of the last vestiges of its internationally euaranteed constitution, developments which at the same time very seriously endangered the security of the Turkish Community.

Turkey, which has the obligation under the Treaty of Guarantee of 1960 to safeguard the indepenQence, territorial inter,rity and security of the Republic of Cyprus, has endeavoured to fulfil this obligation in concert with the other Guarantor Powers. You are no doubt aware that these endeavours have unfortunately been inconclusive.

Turkey has therefore had to act alone, with the sole purpose of carrying out her above mentioned obligations as envisaged in the Treaty. In the course of the operation launched for this purpose the Turldsh troops had been given strict instructions to limit the use of arms to cases for self-defense and to requirements of the task to be performed. If the events have developed in the present deplorable direction, this is exclusively due to the armed attacks of the forces controlled and commanded by foreign elements w'hich unfortunately belong to a Guarantor Power who was in fact supposed to act in concert with Turkey in this pacific operation.

However, Turkey, who considers respect for the United Nations as the most essential element of her foreign policy, decided to respond positively to the appeal for cease-fire that you have conveyed to rne in accordance with the Security Council resolution adopted on ~O July 1974. Accordingly, necessary instructions are issued_to the Turkish troops to cease fire effective as from 1400 hours GMT on 22 July 1974.

Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

There were reports of atrocities in scattered locations throughout the Is1and. Steps were being taken to evacuate foreign civilians to the British so,:ereign Base areas. Accord.ing to a later report, UNFICYP assisted the United Kingdom and United Sta.tes authorities in the implementation of the scheme, which applied to all foreign nationals.

2, The fighting on the Island, which had died down during the night, grew in intensity during the morning of 21 July and was accompanied by air att2.cks by high-performance Turkish aircraft. There were reports of Rtro~ities in s~attered locations throughout the Island. Steps were being taken to evae1.1ate foreign civilians to the British Sovereign Base areas. A~cording to a later report, UNFICYP assisted the United Kingdom and United States authorities in the impl0mcntation of the scheme, which applied to all foreign nationals. More than 4,000 persons, including the persons trapped in the Ledra Palace Hotel, were collected, with no casualties repQj_~ted, from various localities in Nicosia bet,-re-en 1200 and 1600 for dispatch to the British SovereiP,n :Ease area of Dhekelia.

3, In the Nicosia district, a true·= arra.ngE;d along the Green Line went ~nto. effect at 0630 hours local time, but at 1100 hom~s it was reported that fighting had broken out again along the Green Line. The United Nations has retained control of the Ledra Palace Hotel area, where 386 civilians remained. D~spite this, the hotel ca.JD.e under heavy fire from mortars. The Canadian contingent is ,-,i thdrawing its personnel to Camp Cron,oerg. A further Canadian soldier was reported wounded, bringing the total to seven.

4. There have been heavy air attacks by Turkish planes with bombs a.11d rockets against the Internatio~al Airport area, At 1010 hours local time, rounds were falling in the vicinit;i,• of UJ\lFICYP headq_uo.rters and camp and 60 Turkish helicopters were overflying the airport area.

5. In the Kyrenia district, heavy fighting which occurred during the evening of 20/21 July for control of Kyrenia pass was reported to have died. down by the next morning. On 21 July, National Guard troops were reported retreating towards Bellapais in United Nations landrovers with United Nations flags, said to have been captured from a Finnish patrol. The 12 members of the patrol a~e believed to b~ in National Guard hands. The National Guard garrison at Bellapais was attacked by aircraft· a..11.d napalm ·,ra3 reported to_ have~-- -- been used. Kyrenia was said to be quiet 74-19213 I . .. S/ll353 Et1i;Ush Page 2

13. On the morning of Sunday, 21 July, I issued the following statemen~:

"The Secretary-General welcomP.s the aecision concerning the Cyprus question taken unaimously by the Security Council on 20 Jul~r. He expresses i U,e hope that the authorities concerned will implement this important decision with the least possible delay.

111-IO'wever, as long as the Council's demand for a cease-f:i.re is not complied with ar:d fighting continues, the situation remains extremely serious.

11 'rhe Sec:r-etary-General is appealing to all concerned to bring the fighting to an irnrnediate end and to begin forthwith negotiations f'.)r a peaceful settlement in line with the resolution of the Security Counci 1.

"The UDi tea Natioris Peace-keeping Force in CypI·us has been d,:;ir:g all it can, especiaUy in the humanitarian field, and will cont5.nue to do its utmost to l:i.mit t:1e fighting and to protect the civilian population."

In this connexion, I have addressed appeals to the Prime Ministe:ts of Greece a..'1d Turkey.

ll~. Io view of re}?orts reaching me from C:rrrus, I have ma.de the following appeal:

"Reports reaching me 1'1,om Cyprus in<1icate that the fighti:ig is extremely violent and bi ttcr and that the civilian population in □any parts of the Island is living in gi·ave danger, fear and great suffering.

"I a-pr;~al most urgently to all the parties involved in the fighting, pending the achieve1r.ent of a cease-fire, to exercise extreme restraint, and to respect the scce1;ited internaticnal rules for the treatment of civilian popu].ations in ti!ne of war. I urge ther,1 to take every pos.3ible measure to avoid actions which may cause further suffering to the civilian population m:6 v~:ien c::m only fur-ther embitter the already tragic si tuations. 11

I have aslu~ci my r.z::9resentati ves in Cyprus to make all possible efforts to con1munj_c:a'ce this appeal to all of tt.e parties concerned. UNITED NATIONS Distr. SECURITY General S/11351 COUNCIL 20 July 1974 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH

TEXT OF STATEMENT BY SECRET.ARY-GENERAL IN SECVRITY COUNCIL ON 16 JULI"

As I explained to you in my letter of this morning; I requested you to convene a meeting of the Security Cour:cil in order to :ceport to the Council on the information received through my S20ciaJ. Representative and the Co.rrmander of the United Nations -Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYI') on rec2nt developments in the Island. ·

Members of the Council will recall that ici its first Resoli..:tion on the Cyprus question on 4 March 1964; the Council asked the s~cretary-General to report periodically to the Council •. -I feel that the pre:Jent situation fully warrants such a report by me. Members o:f the Council are aware -!;llat in the meantime the Permanent Representative of' Cy:_'.)rus has also requested a meeting of the Council.

Early in the morning of 15 July I received information from my Special Representative in Nicosia and the Commander of UNFICYP conf'irming re:pcrts of' the­ events which we:-ce taking plac·e i:Q Cyprus. fll:d.le 'tl",e situa"!;ion remabt;d confused, the inc"!.ica..t1.o-n::i liere that a coup was being s·,,.:ic;ed e.8ainst President Makarios· by the E::i:tio11al Gua1~d. There were radio re:? ..n··cs of the death of President Me.k2.1~ios, 'J:hese reports were not confirmed by Ui'~::'IC:YP ·and proved to be incorrect.

The Force Commander ordered an island-wide alert for UNFICYP personnel at 0100 hours on 15 July and sentries were doubled.

UNFICYP reported that the ·situation on the Turkish CYJ;Jriot side remained calm and that its leadership, having taken various security measures, had given instruction·s that Turkish Cypriots should avoid any involvement.

The Special Representative also transmitted to me the text of a special ne-ws bulletin broadcast over the CY.Prus Broadcasting Co-rporation at mid-day on 15 July, announcing that the National Guard had taken over authority in . Cyprus. ,

At about· noon (New York time) on 15 July I rP.ceived a further m8ssage from my S:pecial RP:presentat.i ve informing me that-, thP. UNFTCYP Zor... q 8omma.nn.er in Limassol. had reported that the Bishop of' Pa:phos harl. informed him that he had received a raclio message from: President Makarios asking him to send a rr,essl3.ge to the Permanent Representative of Cyprus to the United Nations requesting him to call forthwith a meeting of the Security Council of the United Nat.1.r:.ur..

(more) - 2 - Press Release SG/SM/2043 sc/3546 16 July 1974

My Special Representative added that ~e was not able to verify the authenticity of this message and in particular whether it emanated from Archbishop Makarios. In the circwnstances, I considered it my duty to communicate this message to tbe Pernanent Representative of Cy:prus, at the same time mentioning the innbility of' UTlFICYP to verify its authenticity.

On the .r.1.orning of 15 July, I discussed the situation with the President of the Security Couneil and gave hi11 the in.formation then at my disposal.

In view of the extreme seriousness of the developments described above, I addressed yesterday messages to the :Prime Ministers of Greece and Turkey err.phasizing my deep concern, and stressing the importance of the ter:dto.l'i.al integrity, sovereignty and independence of Cyprus. I also urged max:'.rrium restn!int and the avoidance of' any action which might give rise to :fr:rcher violence. The texts of' these messages have "been pul~lished separatel:;;,-·.

It will be reca.lled that the mandate of UJl7FICYP is in the context of the conflict behreen the two comrnuni ties in Cyp:r.us and that Ul'JFICYP is tncre:fore deployed along the lines of confrontation bet-ween those two communities. For this H!-'lson, UNFICYP did not have direct obse2:·vation of most of the areas of current fi 6hting, which are related to ri val.ries within one com>:,uni ty and are not on the lines of confrontation between the Greek Cypriot and '.I'urkisb C;ypriot communities.

In the late afternoon of 15 July I received a further report :from my Special Representative. There were reports that Pr,1sident Makarios was alive and had broadcast a :i::_adio message to the Cypriot people. . The situation in Nicosia and throughout the island was still confused. '.!;he airport was under the control of the National Guard. The Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation fadli ties were in the hands of' the National Guard and were broadcasting 11 11 announcements on behalf of the Governmcnt of r~ational Salvation • '.I'he T81.8r.:orr:munications Building was occupied by the National Guard and all internal and external. communications controlled by it had been cut. The Presidential P)).l~r.:e was reported to be burned to the ground. Shooting had been reported during the morning from Limas sol, l'aphos and Famagusta. The Turkish C;s,rpriot forces were on full alert and had manned all their positioDs, UNFICY.? was :naintaining its contacts with Vice-President Denktash and his associate, Mr. Orek, and my Representative ·was urging them to eneourage the Turkish Cypriot r.ornmuni ty to remain calm, ·

At 1715 hours local time on 15 July the Senior Adviser and the Chief of Staff of UNFICYJ? visited Mr. Orek, who agreed to do his best to keep the Turld. ch Cypriot corm:n,mi ty calm. He added, ·however, that the communit.y was deeply concerned at dev~J.oi,metr\-,s and was pr8or-.cu-pied that an attack rr:i.ght be m-'lde on it. Shoot,ing ·was hear

During the night of 15/16 July, the Force Commander reported that firing of va:ryin0 intensity had occurred in ~icosia, Famaguste., Larnaca., Limassol and Kyrenia.· · ·

Unconfirmed reports indicated that the fighting had resulted in 20 to 30 persons killed and more than 100 wounded in Nicosia alone.

UNFICYP remained on fuJ.l alert on 15 July. All DrlFICYP personnel were safe and there had been no casu'llties.

At 2100 hours on 15 July I received a report from my Special Representative to the effect that the UNFICYP PRphos District Commander h~d met Archbishop Makarios who invited the· Special Repx·ese:>:1.tati ve t.o meet him en the following day. The Special Representative e."ld. the Force Ccrr1nan

rn1en the two UNFICYP officials re4:.1.::..~ned to -their h~:=i.dquarters in Nicosia at 1230 ho1_;;:--s, they received informati0n that the Archl.:i.Ghop was seeking to be ev2,:-!:1ated from Paphos. Subsequently it was repartee. that he was requesting United 'Jations protect5.i::,n, In vlew o_f· the circumstances, I authorised UNFICYP to ext.end such protection, to Archbishop Mr~:::arios on a humanitarian basis. In the meantime, I have been informed that Archbishop 1-Iakarios has left the Island.

Br. President, I have followed the recent developments in Cyprus with the deepest concern. While the mandate of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus is specifically related to the conflict between the two communities in Cyprus and the Force cannot therefore be involved in the internal affairs of one of the communities, the repercussions of violent distrubances such as those of the pa·st twq. days can very easily extend beyond the. confines of one community. 1lhen this happens the matter becomes one of direct concern to UNFICYP urider its mandate. As will be seen from the above report, UNFICYP has been doing all -.it can _to prevent the present violence -from causing renewed intercommunal strife. Moreover, in the context . of th_e Cyprus problem such events carry a serious risk of' a threat to international peace and security in a much 11ider framework. For all these reasons, and in view of the Security Council's responsibilities in the.Cyprus problem I pave felt it my duty to make this repo:t:t to the Council today.

* *** * - 3 - Press Release SG/SM./2043 sc/3546 16 July 1974

The two Ul'WICYP officials then called on the Crn ..:nsellor of the Turkish Embassy who complained that a number of heavy weapons, inciu1ing mortars, had been fired in the direction of the camps of the Turkish National Contingent, and that the electricity to one ca.mp had been cut off. The UNFICYP officials said that despite present difficulties they vould try to remedy the situation.

Subsequently, the Special Representative and the Force Commander briefed Vice-President Denktash on the du.yrs deYelo:pm0nts and received assurances from him that he would do his best to aee that the Turkish cormmmi ty exercised restr3.int.

The Special Representative and the Force Commander also called on Ambassador Inhan of Turkey, at his request) and were informed by him about the firing ne'lr the Turkish national Cm,tingent camp. The .Ambasse.dor requested the Force Corr:nander to intervene immediately wi-;;h the National Guard to prevent any recurre1;_ce.

General Prem Chand proceeded ill'.n1~diately with: an escort ·to National Guard headquarters o,t Athalassa, where at 2030 hours he called UJDn the acting Commander of the National. Guard. The Force Conmander ra.iseJ. four matters of immediate importace:

(a) The report by the Turkish Ambassador that mortar bombs had been fired into the a:::eCI. of the Turkish National Contingent at Gcunyeli.

(b) The report that firing had been directed towards the Turkish Cypriot sector in Nicosia.

(c) The fact that an UNFICYP helicopter had been fired upon.

(d) The importance of having UNFICYP enjoy full freedom of movement in accordance with its mandate; that United Nations .vehicles with flags or· personnel with UNFICYP identity cards should not be stopped or otherwise interfered with in their activities in relation to the intercommunal situation.

The acting Commander of the National Guard stated that strict instructions 'had been issued. to his troops not to fire at the Turkish National Contingent o:r- at Turkish Cypriot areas; any .such firing was accidental and regrettable. Strict instructions would be issued to prevent any recurrence of such firing. The firing at the UNFICYP helicopter was also described as accidental but instructions would be issued to prevent any recurrence. Lastly, the Acting Comm8.nder of the National Guard gave assurances that instructions not to interfere with the movements of UNFICYP would be issued.

At the end of the period covered by my last report, the strength of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) was 2,557 military personnel and 173 civilian police, a total of 2,730. As a result of the second phase of the reductions forecast in that report, the composition of the Force on 23 May 1974 was 2,188 military personnel and 153 civilian police, a total of 2,341.

3. The following changes took place during the period covered by this report:

(a) Austria: The 5th Battalion replaced the 4th Battalion.

(b) Canada: No. 1 Commando Group, Canadian Airborne Regiment, replaced the • 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment . (c) Denmark: The 21st Battalion replaced the 20th Battalion. In March 1974 the Government of Denmark informed the Secretary-General of its desire to effect, at least, a very substantial reduction of the Danish civilian police contingent as soon as possible. Accordingly, the Secretary-General agreed to the reduction of the Danish contingent by 17 instead of 5 as previously contemplated under the second phase of the reduction plan. At the same time he rescinded the requests he had made to the Governments of Austria and Sweden for the reduction of their UNCIVPOL units.

(d) Finland: A partial rotation took place twice during the period. The incoming troops form the 21st Battalion.

(e) Sweden: The 52nd Battalion replaced the 51st Battalion.

(f) United Kingdom: The 2nd Battalion, Coldstream Guards, replaced the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards. The Parachute Squadron, Royal Armoured Corps, replaced 11 B11 Squadron, 4th/7th Dragoon Guards which, in turn, had replaced 0 A11 Squadron, 16th/5th 'I'he Queen's Royal Lancers. The 7 Squadron, Royal Corps of Transport, replaced 8 Squadron, which, in turn, had replaced 65 Squadron, Royal Corps of Transport.

4. The number of permanently manned military observation posts has been reduced from 53 to 41. In addition, three temporary observation posts have been unmanned.

5. There have been no changes in the deployment of the Force, with the exception of the withdrawal of the Force Reserve as a separate operational entity. The Force is deployed as follows: (see attached map):

HQ UNFICYP, inclucling HQ UNFICYP civilian police (UNCIVPOL) - Nicosia

Combined HQ staff Force logistics and support units (elements of Austrian and British contingents) One troop British armoured reconnaissance squadron

Nicosia district

Canadian battalion Austrian civilian police

I . .• s/11294 English Page 6

Famagusta district

Swedish battalion Swedish civilian police

Larnaca district

Austrian battalion Swedish civilian police Dan~sh civilian police

Limassol zone (comprising Limassol and Paphos districts)

British battalion British armoured reconnaissance squadron (less one troop) Australian civilian police

Lefka district

Danish battalion Danish civilian police

Kyrenia district

Finnish battalion Austrian civilian police

6. The number of UNCIVPOL stations and substations has remained unchanged during the period covered by this report, except that in the Famagusta district the substation at Yialousa district was moved to Leonarisso on 1 May 1974.

7. The Force remains under the command of Major-General D. Prem Chand. After seven and a half years of distinguished service the Special Re~resentative of the Secretary-General in Cyprus, Mr. Bibiano F. Osorio-Tafall, is scheduled, at his request, to retire on 30 June 1974. Accordingly, I have decided to appoint Mr. Luis Weckmann-Mufioz, of Mexico, as my Special Representative in Cyprus as from 1 July 1974. Mr. Weckmann-Mufioz is currently serving as the Special Representative of the Secretary-General pursuant to the consensus adopted by the Security Council on 28 February 1974 regarding incidents on the frontier between Iran and Iraq.

Casualties

8. During the period under review, UNFICYP suffered no casualties attributable to intercomrnunal incidents. Five deaths occurred. One Danish officer was killed in a motor vehicle accident, and one British soldier and one Canadian soldier died from natural causes. Two civilian police officers, one Austrian and one Danish, died from other causes.

I . .• S/11294 English Page 7

Discipline

9. The over-all discipline and bearing of the officers and men of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force has continued to be of a high order and reflects credit on the contingent commanders, their staffs and the armed forces of the " contributing nations.

B. The reduction of UNFICYP

10. In my last report to the Security Council (S/11137, paras. 14-22), I set out mJ proposals for implementing the second phase of the plan for the reduction of UNFICYP, the first phase of which had been carried out during the mandate period ending 15 December 1973 and had resulted in a reduction of 439 all ranks. The plans for a second phase called for a further reduction of 383 all ranks to be implemented during the current mandate period ending on 15 June 1974, resulting in a total reduction of 822 all ranks or 26 per cent of the strength of the Force as it stood in May 1973 (S/10940, para. 2).

11. At the conclusion of the Security Council's debate on Cyprus, at its 1759th meeting on 14 December 1973, I informed the Council that I had noted the remarks made by members of the Council and by the representatives invited to participate in the Council's debate concerning the reduction of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force. I added that, in the light of those remarks, it was my intention to undertake consultations shortly with the representatives of countries providing contingents for UNFICYP and with the representatives of Cyprus, Greece and Turkey, with a view to finalizing arrangements for the implementation, during the current mandate of the seccnd phase of the reduction plan.

12. Following those consultations (in the course of which certain reservations were expressed by some of the countries contributing contingents), and after considering carefully the report of my Special Representative and of the Force Commander concerning recent developments in Cyprus, I informed the parties concerned that I intended to proceed with the second phase of the reduction plan on the assumption that the parties directly concerned in Cyprus would maintain, and if possible strengthen~ their current policy of co-operating with and supporting the efforts of UNFICYP in pursuance of its responsibilities under the mandate, and on the further assumption that the Governments of Turkey and Greece would exert their influence so far as possible in support of continued active adherence to that policy. I pointed out that the assumption of continued and strengthened co-operation with UNFICYP entailed, in particular, support of UNFICYP efforts to ensure that intercommunal clashes were prevented; that all concerned would undertake to share with UNFICYP the responsibility of ensuring that minor incidents did not escalate and that no action would be taken to change the military status quo. Continued and strengthened co-operation with UNFICYP would necessarily cover continued observance of UNFICYP freedom of movement, which is essential for the proper execution of its responsibilities, as well as strict adherence to local and other agreements, arrangements and undertakings entered into with or through UNFICYP. I •.. s/11294 English Page 8

13. Subsequently, I was informed of the Turkish Government's reservations concerning further reductions of UNFICYP. The other parties initially also expressed some reservations about the planned reduction. After a further exchange of views, it was decided to implement the second phase of the reductions in the course of the contingent rotations which took place during the period from March to May 1974.

14. Though it was possible to effect the first phase of the reduction plan without making any significant changes in the deployment and modus operandi of the Force, the second phase, as previously indicated, (S/11137, para, 20), required a restructuring of the Force to convert it into a mixed operation comprising both static manned posts and mobile teams. The concept provides in principle that reductions in the number of static manned posts are to be compensated by an increase in the mobile elements of the Force. In practice, the changes are not radical and have been implemented in a gradual way in order not to create any untoward apprehensions. The details of the operational changes were discussed in advance by the Force Commander with both sides in Cyprus and some minor modifications were made to take account of particular anxieties expressed by them to him. In the event 12 permanent and 3 temporary static United Nations posts were unmanned; these are now regularly inspected by the mobile teams and can be temporarily remanned by them should the situation so require. In deciding on the detailed operational changes which had been effected, the Force Commander was especially conscious of the need to avoid any action by UNFICYP that might appear to give grounds for changes being made ·by either side in the military status quo, and he is confident that this has been achieved.

C. Function and guiding principles

15. The function of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus was defined by the Security Council in its resolution 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964 in the following terms:

11 in the interest of preserving international peace and security, to use its best efforts to prevent a recurrence of fighting and, as necessary, to contribute to the maintenance and restoration of law and order and a return to normal conditions".

16. That resolution was reaffirmed by the Council in its subsequent resolutions of 13 March, 20 June, 9 August, 25 September and 18 December 1964; 19 March, 15 June, 10 August and 17 December 1965; 16 March, 16 June and 15 December 1966; 19 June and 22 December 1967; 18 March, 18 June and 10 December 1968; 10 June and 11 December 1969; 9 June and 10 December 1970; 26 May and 12 December 1971; 15 June and 13 December 1972; 15 June and 1 December 1973,

I ... s/11294 English Page 9

17. The guiding principles governing the operation of the Force, as summarized in the Secretary-General's report of 10 September 1961+ (S/5950, para. 7), remain in effect. The duties of UNCIVPOL are as outlined in the report of 2 May 1964 (s/5679, para. 4).

D. Relations with the Government and with the Turkish Cypriot leadership

18. UNFICYP has continued to maintain, as in the past, close liaison and good working relations with the Government of Cyprus and the Turkish Cypriot leadership. The Political Liaison Committee continues to meet as a rule every two weeks. The UNFICYP Deputy Chief of Staff, who acts as the Chairman, the Senior Political Adviser and his staff, the Police Adviser and the UNFICYP Economics Officer meet separately with Liaison Officers representing the Government and the Turkish Cypriot leadership with a view to resolving current intercommunal problems. Between 1 December and 23 May 1974 the Committee held 13 meetings, each with the Government- Political Liaison Officer and with the Turkish Cypriot Liaison Officer.

E. Freedom of movement of the United Nations Force

19. During the period covered by this report there haye been three incidents in which UNFICYP has been denied freedom of movement. Two of these can be attributed to the National Guard, one to Turkish Cypriot fighters. The two cases attributed to the National Guard, as well as the case attributed to Turkish Cypriot fighters, resulted from minor misunderstandings and restrictions at the local level. All three were settled after negotiation. Certain difficulties have developed during the past year over the freedom of movement of UNFICYP in confrontation areas in the vicinity of the camps occupied by the Turkish national contingent north-west of Nicosia. Although UNFICYP is not denied access there when investigating specific complaints, it considers that in order to discharge its responsibilities fully it should be in a position to patrol those areas freely.

II. ACTIVITIES TOWARDS PREVENTING A RECURRENCE OF FIGHTING AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE RESTORATION AND MAINTENANCE OF LAW AND ORDER

A. Military situation

1. Armed forces in Cyprus other than UNFICYP

_(a) Government armed forces

20. The National Guard has maintained its strength after the demobilization of the first half of the 1954 age group and the induction of the first half of the l956 age group. No major changes in deployments have been observed. Construction work to improve living conditions in camps has continued.

21. The momentum. of National Guard training has increased, and more activity has been observed outside the normal training season; the efficiency, morale and general state of readiness of the National Guard has continued to improve.

22. The Police Tactical Reserve Unit, which the Government considers to be part of the police force (CYPOL), has been expanded to a strength of over 600. Its members are dressed in military-type uniforms and are trained and equipped on paramilitary lines. The unit has been used mainly for police operations ~ithin the Greek Cypriot community but appeared on one occasion in an intercommunal situation (see para. 30). The Turkish Cypriot leadership has continued to protest the existence and expansion of this unit as constituting a change in the military status quo and a potential threat to the Turkish Cypriot community. The Government has reiterated its assurances (S/11137, para. 30) that the unit will be absorbed as part of the ordinary police force as soon as the internal situation allows.

(b) Turkish Cypriot armed elements

23. The strength and deployment of the Turkish Cypriot armed elements have not changed significantly. The number of exercises held to check the state of readiness has increased, and the efficiency and state of morale of the Turkish Cypriot fighters have continued to improve. Better accommodation facilities have been provided in a number of areas.

(c) Greek and Turkish national contingents

24. The strength and location of both contingents remains unchanged. A partial rotation of the Greek national contingent took place over the period l4/15 January 197lt.

25. A partial rotation of the Turkish national contingent took place on 26 February 1974, after the Governments of Cyprus and Turkey had requested UNFICYP's good offices of UNFICYP in the rotation, UNFICYP assisted in the S/11294 English Page 11

negotiations and -provided the customary transport 9 escorts and observers. With the co-operation of both parties, the rotation was completed without incident.

2. General assessment of the situation with regard to preventing a recurrence of fighting

26. The intercommunal military situation has remained quiet during the period • under reivew, and there have been few incidents between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.

27. Almost all of the violent incidents that were reported were not intercommunal in nature but, rather, the result of disturbances within the Greek Cypriot community. Although these have diminished somewhat during the reporting period, they continue to cause concern within the Turkish Cypriot community. UNFICYP continues to maintain close contact with the Government and with the Turkish Cypriot leadership, with a view to averting any adverse intercommunal developments.

28. It is regrettable that no progress has been made towards achieving a measure of military deconfrontation (S/11137, para. 38). Both sides are still reluctant to reduce their military precautions on the grounds that their security might be prejudiced.

29. A fundamental element in the UNFICYP reduction plan is that both sides should co-operate in increased measure with UNFICYP, and in this connexion I have urged,

in particular 9 that neither should seek to gain advantage by making changes in the military status quo. I am glad to report that generally this co-operation has been extended by both, although some relatively minor breaches have occurred.

30. The breaches of the status quo by Turkish Cypriots in the town of Limassol, to which I drew attention in my last report (S/11137, para. 41), continue despite UNFICYP efforts. Turkish Cypriot fighters and police elements appear in uniform, and marching by uniformed fighters in the streets is conducted in connexion with weekly flag-raising ceremonies. Marching has increased recently following the institution of a second flag-raising ceremony. The Turkish Cypriot leadership has informed UNFICYP that it has found it necessary to keep its police element in uniform in Limassol owing to the incidents that have occurred on occasions in the vicinity of the Turkish Cypriot quarter, leading to an increased sense of insecurity. There was also a potentially serious incident on 8 January 1974 when, in connexion with a festival, the Turkish Cypriots instituted special military precautions in their quarter of Limassol. Those measures, which included the erection of road-blocks and the construction of new temporary positions, caused a reaction on the part of the Government n.uthorities who sealed off the Turkish Cypriot quarter of Limassol and denied foreigners ~ccess to it. Elements of the Police Tactical Reserve Unit participated in this operation, which caused particular concern. UNFICYP deployed troops to prevent any intercommunal incidents and although tension for a time was high, there were no incidents. As a result of UNFICYP intervention and negotiation, the situation returned

I ••• S/11294 English Page 12 to normal after the Turkish Cypriots had restored the military stat'.ls ouo and the Government had lifted its countermeasures.

31. The problem of access by the Cyprus police (CYPOL) to the Turkish Cypriot village of Alekhtora (S/11137, para. 42) has been resolved, although CYPOL continues to be denied the use of the road connecting that village with the Turkish Cypriot village of Plataniskia. The Turkish Cypriots claim that this road was not previously used by CYPOL. Some progress has been made regarding CYPOL • access to the Turkish Cypriot village of Ayios Andronikos (S/11137, para. 42), but complete freedom of movement, which in the opinion of UNFICYP was enjoyed by CYPOL in that village in the past, has not yet been restored.

32. The five one-ton used Humber armoured trucks referred to in the last report (S/11137, para. 45) are still held in Government custody in the CYPOL compound at Athalassa, near Nicosia. The control boxes continue to be stored separately under joint Government/UNFICYP control. However, as previously reported ( S/11137, para. 45), these arrangements are not considered by the Force Commander to be entirely satisfactory. He has continued to advise the Government to give its consent to better arrangements, which would minimize the risk of those vehicles being taken into use. The Government has not yet given its agreement, but is hopeful of being able to assist in finding a satisfactory solution in the near future.

33. The Government and the Turkish Cypriot leadership continue to make allegations of clandestine importation o:f arms. In no case, however, he,s UNFICYP been able to substantiate the allegations, although in some cases there have been indications that arms have been brought into the island recently. UNFICYP will continue to investigate these allegations and observe this situation in accordance with its responsibilities under the mandate.

34, The agreed arrangements for the inspection of the arms imported by the Government in 1966 (S/7611/Add.1), for the custody and inspection of those imported by the Government in 1972 (S/10564/Add.l and 2 and S/10664, paras. 29-30) and for the inspection of weapons acquired by the Turkish Cypriot leadership (S/10940, para. 41) continued to function during the period under review to the satisfaction of the Force Commander.

35. At the end of April and in early May 197h, there were demonstrations in Limassol and Nicosia which, although basically- anti-Government in character, were also dir2cted against the 'rurldsh community in Cyprus. That development has been deplored by most sections of the Greek Cypriot press. Another incident occurred on 9 May 1974, when about 150 national guardsmen who were marching through Ayia Irini stopped in the Turkish quarter of that village. The Turkish Cypriots allege that Turkish Cypriot villagers were threatened by the national Guardsmen. The National. Guard, however, alleges that Turkish Cypriots in the village provoked the soldiers. To avoid further incidents of ·this kind, the National Guard has agreed that in futun, its troops will march throuf".h the villa,o:e wit:.·,01.tt stopping ar.d TJNFICYP will incre2.se its patrols in the area. Ir. recent years r.yprus has been relatively free of incic · r:ts of this tnle, and their recurrence is a rimtter c:r conce:tn" I ••• s/11294 English Page 13

3. Observance of the cease-fire

36. There was only one shooting incident during the period under review considered by UNFICYP to be a breach of cease-fire. On 13 April 1974, one rifle shot was fired from a National Guard position on the Kyrenia Range towards a Turkish Cypriot • fighter position. There were no injuries • • 37. There were two other shooting incidents involving National Guard sentries. One occurred near Larnaca town, when soldiers fired shots towards suspected movements in front of their positions; the other in the Karpass are~ when soldiers fired shots, described as warning shots, when Turkish Cypriot farmers allegedly approached too close to their positions.

38. During the Easter period (12 to 15 April), there were a number of reports of shots being fired by both National Guardsmen and Turkish Cypriot fighters in the towns of Nicosia and Famagusta close to confrontation areas. There were also some minor explosions said to have been caused by large fireworks. In Famagusta several shcts were fired in the direction of a Turkish Cypriot area by a Greek Cypriot policeman.

39. Finally, there were a number of other incidents involving the use of explosives and firearms, but they were not intercommunal in character.

B. Developments relating to the maintenance of law and order

40. UNCIVPOL, the civilian police element of UNFICYP, has continued to contribute to the maintenance of law and order. To this end, it maintains close liaison with the Cyprus police (CYPOL) and with the Turkish Cypriot police element. Its responsibilities include investigation of criminal matters of an intercoID.munal nature, patrolling and observing in sensitive areas and joint patrols with CYPOL.

41. At the beginning of the period under review, there were a number of bomb explosions and shootings involving members of the Greek Cypriot community. More than 50 bomb explosions occurred during December 1973 and January 1974 which caused damage to buildings and vehicles. Since that time, there ha.s been a sharp decrease in that type of incident.

42. The Government has continued to maintain its right to carry out police patrols in sensitive areas. UNCIVPOL has exercised its good offices where necessary and, with the co-operation of both sides, major confrontations have been avoided, although some problems are still unresolved (see para. 31).

43. As noted above (see para. 30), the Turkish Cypriot police element has continued to appear in uniform in the town of Limassol contrery to the status quo. Difficulties also developed when the Turkish Cypriot police element tried to exercise police powers with respect to Turkish Cypriots in Government-controlled areas of the Paphos and Limassol districts; CYPOL reacted by arresting members of the Turkish Cypriot police element. Those situations required intervention by UNFICYP in order to ease the resulting intercommunal tension. In this connexion, the Turkish Cypriot leadership has given UNFICYP assurances that the Turkish Cypriot police element will not attempt to exercise authority in Government­ controlled areas. I .• • s/11294 English Page 14

III. ACTIVITIES TOWARDS A RETURN TO NORMAL CONDITIONS

44. Since my last report (S/11137), there has again been only little progress towards a return to normal conditions. The trend towards the separate development • of each community has continued unabated, and, again, only slight progress has • been made towards the extension of essential public services and restoration of others to the Turkish Cypriots.

45. As in the past, though limited and sporadic contacts between the two communities have been maintained, especially in connexion with projects sponsored or assisted by the United Nations Development Programme (IDIDP) (S/11137, para. 61), there has been no change with regard to integrated economic activity. A degree of intercommunal co-operation has been forthcoming in connexion with the $14 million loan agreement signed between the Government and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) for a water development project in the Paphos District. Similar co-operation has been evident in connexion with the Morphou/Tylliria water feasibility study sponsored by UNDP and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). But in both instances continued co-operation is essential if the schemes are to be brought to fruition. The UNDP/FAO livestock production improvement project, the veterinary services project and the Cyprus Productivity Centre sponsored by UNDP and the International Labour Office have maintained services to Turkish Cypriots at much the same level as in the past. Further extension of these services to Turkish Cypriots is said to be dependent on access to Turkish Cypriot controlled areas.

46. There has been no change in the number of Turkish Cypriots attending the UNDP/ILO Hotel and Catering Institute, which remains disappointingly low. Turkish Cypriots have also shared in the assistance provided by the UNDP/UNIDO industrial development services project and by the World Food Programme projects. Turkish Cypriot participation in the latter programmes has been as follows: school feeding 17.94 per cent, soil conservation 16 per cent and mixed farming 18.56 per cent. The Turkish Cypriot leadership, however, has continued to express its dissatisfaction at the amount of benefits its community receives from UNDP-sponsored assistance.

47. As a result of rainfalls during the winter season the cereal crops for 1974 seem to be assured. The underground aquifers, however, have not been replenished, and a water shortage during the summer months is to be expected. Restrictions on the sinking of boreholes are still strictly enforced in water conservation areas, giving rise to occasional charges of discrimination by Turkish Cypriots, and water rationing has already been reintroduced in Famagusta and Larnaca. The problems of providing permanent domestic water supplies for the Turkish Cypriot villages of Temblos, Kivisil, Phinikas and Stavrokono, which had been promised new schemes in 1974 (S/11137, para. 62) are still unresolved at the time of writing, and UNFICYP has so far received no definite information from the Government on the implementation of the new schemes.

I . •• S/11294 English Page 15

48. During the period under review, drought relief schemes were implemented by the Government (s/10940, para. 70). It had previously been announced on behalf of the • Government that relief under these schemes would be extended to Turkish Cypriots without discrimination. By the time of writing, payments to Greek Cypriots had been completed and were continuing with respect to Turkish Cypriots. The Government !I has informed UNFICYP that by the end of April cash grants totalling about £600,000 had already been paid to Turkish Cypriot farmers and that the remaining payments (in Nicosia District, including Lefka) would be made shortly, ~aking a total of £838,584. According to further information received from the Government, cash grants had been made to Turkish Cypriot animal breeders totalling £61,745, and 3,502 tons of free barley had been distributed and 2,729 tons of barley at the subsidized price of £15 per ton had been made available to them. UNFICYP has received complaints from the Turkish Cypriot leadership about the method of payment and in some instances about deductions being improperly made. These are now being investigated.

49. Only limited progress has been achieved in the provision of electricity to Turkish Cypriot villages. Of eight remaining villages on the electrification list for 1973 (the ninth was electrified earlier in 1973 - see S/11137, para. 63), six had been electrified by mid-January 1974 and two - Marona and Phalia were deleted from the list - Marona because there are plans for it to be resettled elsewhere, and Phalia because its inhabitants, according to the Government, had failed to co-operate with various government authorities. In April 1974, the Government informed UNFICYP that, as part of a scheme for the development of electricity services in Cyprus, for which a loan from the IBRD was being sought, the electrical network in Nicosia and Larnaca would be reinforced and that these improvements would be extended to Turkish Cypriot quarters of those two towns. The Government has also stated that a significant number of Turkish Cypriot villages will be placed on th& electrification list for 1974. The Turkish Cypriot leadership considers that the rate of progress in this matter is still too slow and has repeated its assurances concerning freedom of access to Electricity Authority employees and the payment of bills. The Government, however, feels that the Electricity Authority must proceed prudently, and it has reminded UNFICYP that unpaid bills by Turkish Cypriot consumers, mainly in the enclaves, now amount to approximately £3.5 million. The Turkish Cypriot leadership does not accept that figure, claiming that it does not take into account the amounts owed to Turkish Cypriot employees who maintain the electrical system in the enclaves or the subsidies due the Turkish Cypriot community under the Constitution for educational and other purposes.

50. The negotiations between the Government and the Turkish Cypriot leadership on the reintegration of Turkish Cypriots into the national social insurance scheme (S/10940, para.. 66) were resumed during the period under review and are continuing. Early in May 1974~ UNFICYP was informed by the Government that since 1 May 1973 a total of 518 Turkish Cypriots falling within the two categories mentioned in the last report (S/11137, para. 64) had received benefit payments.

51. There have been further developments in connexion with the problem of Turkish Cypriot displaced persons (S/11137, para. 65). After negotiations conducted by UNFICYP and the Cyprus Resettlement Project (an international study groun sponsored S/11294 English Page 16 by Haverford College in the United States of America), the Government agreed late in 1973 to resume the resettlement of Turkish Cypriot displaced persons. As the first step, 50 per cent of the houses in four villages (Dhiorios, Lapithos, Potamia and Peristerona) were to be repaired with funds allocated by the Government. To this end surveys and estimates for repairs have been prepared by the Government, but final approval for the expenditure has not yet been given.

52. No progress has been made towards the normalization of postal services (S/11137, para. 66). The Government has again charged that Turkish Cypriots are not honouring the 1966 ad hoc arrangement on postal services (see S/10940, para. 64), in that they nave been issuing their own :postage stamps.

53. The hope, expressed in my last report, for some advance towards resolving the problem of issuance of birth certificates to Turkish Cypriots born since 1964 (S/11137, para. 67) has failed to materialize, and no progress has been made during the period under review.

54, There have been no further developments in the matter of deductions made by the Grain Commission from subsidies due Turkish Cypriot producers to meet debts owed to the Loan Commission by the Turkish Cypriot community (S/11137, para. 68). Negotiations are still in progress.

55. UNFICYP efforts to assist in securing better accommodation for Turkish Cypriot· school children in Larnaca/Scala have not yet been successful.

56. The matter of installation and reconnexion of public telephones in a number of Turkish Cypriot villages (S/10842, para. 46) was again raised during the period under review; at the time of writing negotiations are continuing with active UNFICYP assistance.

57, Restriction on the freedom of movement of government officials in Turkish Cypriot areas is still one of the major obstacles to normalization. Though there have been instances where these restrictions have been lifted for specific purposes, it is doubtful that a real measure of progress can be achieved until they are relaxed to a much larger degree.

IV. INTERCOMMUNAL TALKS AND GOOD OFFICES OF THE SECRET.ARY-GENER.AL .., • 58. Nine plenary meetings of the intercommunal talks, which began in 1968 and were reactivated in 1972 on the basis of the Secretary-General's aide-memoires of 18 October 1971 and 18 May 1972, were held during the period under review until the talks were suspended sine die on 2 April 1974. After intensive negotiations (see para. 63 below), it has now been agreed that the talks will be resumed and that the next meeting will be held on 4 June 1974.

59. As before, the Greek Cypriot and the Turkish Cypriot communities were represented by Mr. Glafcos Clerides and Mr. Rauf Denktash respectively; the two constitutional experts made available by the Governments of Turkey and Greece, Professor Aldikacti and Justice Dekleris, continued to attend the talks in an advisory capacity, and my Special Representative, Mr. Osorio-Tafall, participated in the exercise of the Secretary-General's good offices. As customary, the plenary meetings took place alternately at the offices of the President of the House of Representatives and of the Chairman of the Turkish Communal Chamber.

60. Until the suspension of the talks it appeared that a measure of progress was being made on the outstanding questions concerning the structure and functions of local government bodies. At the end of December 1973, Mr. Clerides and Mr. Denktash exchanged papers setting out their positions, mainly on those two questions; the two papers were given to the two constitutional experts to consider and attempt to produce a draft that would be acceptable to both interlocutors. From the views expressed by the two constitutional experts after their meetings in the first three months of 1974 it appeared that a measure of agreement was being reached on a "package deal II concerning the structure of the State, the division of powers and the degree of local authority to be granted to the Turkish Cypriot community in exchange for their renunciation of a number of rights embodied in the 1960 Constitution.

61. Following the meeting of 2 April 1974, Mr. Clerides announced to the press that the meeting had been adjourned without fixing a date for the next meeting. He also confirmed that he had requested a clarification from Mr. Denktash about recent Turkish statements advocating federation as a solution to the Cyprus problem. In this connexion, Mr. Clerides on 28 March 1974 had referred to a statement made by the Prime Minister of Turkey in which he was reported to have said: 11 The Turkish Government will exert every effort to secure a peaceful and lasting solution to the (Cyprus) problem within the framework of an independent and federal state. On this issue there is no reason for people of goodwill to have any suspicion about our intentions. 11 Commenting on that statement, Mr. Clerides was reported to have said: "The statement of the Turkish Prime Minister, if correctly quoted in the press, removes all requisites of success of the intercommunal talks, and raises a serious question of whether there is any usefulness in their continuation." Mr. Clerides added that the Greek Cypriot side would on no account accept partitionist, federalist, cantonal or other solutions equivalent to the creation of a state within a state. Also commenting on the

I •.• S/11294 English Page 18

Turkish Prime Minister's statement, the President of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, had said: nThe statement by the Turkish Prime Minister, Mr. Ecevit, that the object of Turkey is a federal solution to the Cyprus problem undermines the local talks. If the statement has been correctly quoted, the question arises whether • further continuation of the talks is indicated, since this Turkish stand makes the failure of the talks a foregone conclusion." On 31 March, Vice-President Denktash commented on the Turkish Prime Minister's statement as follows: "There f is no change of policy. In a state like Cyprus, where the nationalism of the two communities is so deep while the necessity for coexistence is so necessary, the idea of 'federalism' is not incomp~tible with the idea of peaceful coexistence, co-operation and the ultimate realization of a common identity ... Turkey believes that this is a reasonable way of settling the problem. As the Turkish Premier explained, it does not involve a geographical division in Cyprus in any sense."

62. When my Special Representative informed me of the suspension of the talks I requested Mr. Roberto E. Guyer, Under-Secretary-General for Special Political Affairs, to pay a visit to the area in order to express my deep concern at the unfortunate turn which the intercommunal talks on Cyprus had taken and to discuss the situation with the parties concerned. Mr. Guyer had discussions on 6 April with President Makarios and Mr. Glafcos Clerides, as well as with Vice-President Denktash. He than proceeded to Ankara, where on 9 April he had discussions with the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister of Turkey, after which he had discussions in Athens on 10 April with the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister of Greece. On his return to New York, Mr. Guyer informed me that, in the course of his discussions, all the parties had reaffirmed their support for the intercommunal talks. They were therefore anxious that the Secretary-General should do everything possible to facilitate a resumption of the talks. Accordingly, I instructed my Special Representative, Mr. Osorio-Tafall, to explore with the parties concerned, in the light of Mr. Guyer's discussions, the means whereby the talks could be resumed as quickly as possible.

63. During the following weeks, my Special Representative was engaged in intensive negotiations with the parties in Cyprus. It was not until 20 May that agreement on a formula for resumption of the talks was reached and the following announcement was issued: "At the initiative of the United Nations Secretary-General, the talks which started in June 1968, and were subsequently reactivated by the aide-memoires of the Secretary-General dated 18 October 1971 and 18 May 1972, shall be resumed on 4 June on the same basis on which they were conducted until 2 April 1974, when they were interrupted."

64. The difficulties that led to the interruption of the talks arose from the different conceptions held by the two sides about the "basis" on which the intercommunal talks were started in June 1968 and reactivated in June 1972. The Government of Cyprus, with the support of the Government of Greece, maintains that the intercommunal talks were begun and conducted on the basis that a solution would be sought within the framework of an independent, sovereign and unitary State of Cyprus, and that it had always been opposed to a federative system. The above position is not accepted by the Turkish Cypriot leadership and the Turkish

I ••• s/11294 English Page 19

Government, who insist that a unitary State "has never been the agreed basis of the talks 11 (S/PV.1759, p. 27).

65. In previous reports to the Security Council, the Secretary-General has said more than once that in his view "the reactivated intercommunal talks are the best instrument for achieving a satisfactory, lasting and agreed solution based on the concept of an independent, sovereign and unitary state with the adequate 11 participation of the two communities • When these statements were first made, the framework of an independent, sovereign and unitary State seemed generally acceptable to all parties. In 1971, however, Mr. Denktash expressed his opposition to the continued use of the term "unitary". He contended that the Greek Cypriots had a different interpretation of the term and that he could not tie his side to any terminology, the exact interpretation of which had not been agreed upon (see S/10199, para. 67).

66. Now that the talks are shortly to be resumed, it is my hope that the parties will return to a consideration of the substance of the problems that face them, and seek to reach agreement on constitutional arrangements that will be satisfactory to all concerned.

V. MEDIATION EFFORT

67. The situation regarding a resumption of the mediation function under • paragraph 7 of Security Council resolution 186 (1964) has remained unchanged since the last report, owing primarily to the widely differing and firmly held views of the matter of the three Governments most directly concerned. • S/11294 English Page 21

VI. FINANCIAL ASPECTS

68. Voluntary contributions in the amount of approximately $143.3 million have been paid to the UNFICYP Special Account by 52 Member States and three non-member Governments in respect of the periods from the inception of the Force on 27 March 1964 to 15 June 1974. In addition, voluntary contributions from public sources, interest earned on investment of temporarily undisbursed funds and other miscellaneous income received by the Account have totalled about $2.1 million. Accordingly, some $145.4 million have been made available to the UNFICYP Special Account towards meeting the costs of UNFICYP to the United Nations for the periods through 15 June 1974.

69. The costs to be borne by the United Nations for the operation of UNFICYP for the periods from the inception of the Force to 15 June 1974 are estimated at $172.1 million. This figure includes the direct cost to the United Nations of maintaining the Force in Cyprus, as well as the amounts to be paid to Governments providing contingents in respect of their extra and extraordinary costs for which they seek to be reimbursed by the United Nations; but it does not include the amount that would be required for the final repatriation of contingents and liquidation of the Force.

70. The amount of $145.4 million so far received by the UNFICYP Special Account falls short of the requirement of $172.1 million indicated above by approximately $26.7 million. However, in addition to the voluntary contributions that have already been paid to the Account, some $6.8 million are now expected to be received in due course against pledges made by Governments but not yet paid by them.

71. If to the amount of $145.4 million so far received the amount of $6.8 million of anticipated receipts is added, the receipts of the UNFICYP Special Account since March 1964 can then be expected to total approximately $152.2 million. The difference between this figure and the costs to be met of approximately $172.1 million becomes $19.9 million. Accordingly, unless additional contributions from existing or new pledges are received before 15 June 1974, the UNFICYP Special Account deficit as of that date will be $19.9 million.

72. If the Security Council should decide to extend for six months beyond 15 June 1974 the period during which the Force is to be stationed in Cyprus, it is estimated that the additional cost to the Organization, assuming continuance of present reimbursement commitments, would amount to approximately $6.6 million, as detailed below. These estimates are based on the strength of the Force upon completion of the second phase of the reduction plan (see paragraphs 2 and 10-14). The estimated $0.4 million that would be required for the final repatriation of contingents and liquidation costs has been excluded from the figures below for the sake of convenience.

73. The above costs do not reflect the full cost of UNFICYP to Member and non-member States, inasmuch as they exclude the extra costs that Members providing contingents or police units to the Force have agreed to absorb at their own expense rather than seek as reimbursement from the United Nations. Indicative figures of the amounts involved were given in my report to the Security Council of 1 December 1973 (S/11137), as follows: Australia $200,000, Austria $160,000, Canada $863,600, 1/ Denmark $230,000, Sweden $325,000 and United Kingdom $1,110,000. -Y Finland is also absorbing certain UNFICYP costs at its own expense.

74. In order to finance the costs to the Organization of maintaining the Force for a period of six months after 15 June 1974 and to meet all costs and outstanding claims up to that date, it will be necessary for the Secretary-General to receive voluntary contributions to the UNFICYP Special Account totalling $26.5 million.

VII. OBSERVATIONS

75. More than 10 years have passed since the Security Council established the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus. Thanks in great part to the presence of that Force, the situation in the island has remained quiet in recent years, but some of the basic objectives of the United Nations operation have yet to be achieved.

76. As indicated earlier in this report, the intercommunal talks were interrupted on 2 April. I was deeply concerned over this development, since, as I have repeatedly stated, I consider the talks to be the best and most constructive way of carrying out the search for an agreed settlement to the Cyprus problem. It is a matter of gratification that the efforts initiated immediately after the interruption of the talks have recently led to an agreement between the parties to resume them at the beginning of June. This agreement attests to the importance that both sides attach to the talks. It also demonstrates their desire to seek an agreed and peaceful solution to their differences. However, the road ahead will not be an easy one. The relations between the two communities in Cyprus are still marred by mutual fear and distrust, and a successful outcome of the talks can only be achieved if a high degree of statesmanship is exercised by all concerned. It is my earnest hope that in the interest of peace the two sides will bring themselves to agree to those mutual concessions and accommodations without which no settlement is possible.

77. The increase in combat effectiveness of the armed forces of both sides in the island, which has inevitably taken place with the passage of time, is a disturbing development, as it tends to generate additional military pressures, especially in areas of confrontation. Recently, there have been reports that additional weapons are being introduced into the island. In this connexion, I must reiterate my view that any influx of arms or other types of military equipment into Cyprus is a cause for concern to the United Nations Peace-keeping Force with regard to the discharge of its mandate. UNFICYP has continued to exert its best efforts to investigate reports of such imports and to take remedial action when necessary. Arrangements that were worked out in the past with the agreement and co-operation of the parties concerned, under which the imported weapons and equipment were placed under UNFICYP surveillance or control, have proved most satisfactory in reducing tension between the two communities, and I hope that the parties concerned will continue to co-operate with UNFICYP in the future by agreeing to similar measures whenever they may become necessary.

78. In pursuance of the plan which I brought to the attention of the Security Council in my last report (S/11137), the second phase of the proposed reduction of the Force has now been carried out, and this has brought the total strength of the Force to 2,341 all ranks. This reduction has been made possible by the co-operation of the troop-contributing countries as well as that of the parties concerned. An essential element of the reduction plan was to enlist the support of the parties directly concerned to share with UNFICYP the responsibility of carrying out the mandate of the Security Council, along the lines described earlier in this report.

I . •• S/11294 English Page 24

I hope that both sides will exercise the utmost restraint and avoid any action that may alter the military status quo to their advantage. I also hope that the two sides will reconsider the proposals submitted by the Force Commander for phased r deconfrontation after the Force's new method of operation has been tried and proved effective.

19. The reduction of UNFICYP has somewhat alleviated the financial problem facing t UNFICYP but has not solved it. The deficit of the UNFICYP budget.will remain substantial unless and until adequate additional voluntary contributions are forthcoming. In this connexion, some Member States, including the largest financial contributor for the Cyprus operation, have expressed the wish that further reductions of the Force be considered. After carefully considering all of the factors involved, my view is that a further reduction would be premature at this stage. Despite the present quiet, the situation in the island is still tense and potentially dangerous. As mentioned above, the parties concerned have expressed reservations even about the reductions recently carried out. Although I fully share the concern for reducing UNFICYP as far as possible, I believe it would be wise to allow time for an assessment of the effects of those reductions before making further moves in that direction.

80. In view of the prevailing situation, I consider it necessary that the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus be maintained for another period. I therefore recommend that the Security Council extend the mandate of UNFICYP for a further period of six months until 15 December 1974. The Government of Cyprus as well as the Governments of Greece and Turkey have informed me of their concurrence with this recommendation.

81. In concluding this report, I wish once again to place on record my appreciation to the Governments providing contingents to UNFICYP and to those who have made voluntary contributions for its maintenance. Without their generous support it would not be possible to maintain this important peace-keeping operation of the United Nations. I wish also to express my appreciation to the Force Commander and to all the officers and men of UNFICYP, as well as to its civilian staff. They have continued to carry out with exemplary efficiency and devotion the important task assigned to them by the Security Council.

82. On this occasion I also wish to pay special tribute to my Special Representative, Mr. Bibiano F. Osorio-Tafall, as he is about to relinquish his post and to leave the service of the United Nations after 25 years. For seven and a half years he has served UNFICYP with great distinction and unswerving dedication. For this work, as well as for his earlier contributions to the Organization, the United Nations owes him a great debt of gratitude. 32°30' 33°00' 33'30' 34°00' 34°30' 7 MEDITERRANEAN S E A HQ UNFICYP Cape Andreas Onl::!
