The Secretary-General of the United Nations would address an appeal to the Governments of Turkey, Greece and Cyprus, such an appeal to include: A request that the Governments of Turkey and Greece take immediate steps to remove any threat to the security of each other and of Cyprus and as a first step along the lines of the Secretary-General's previous appeal, to bring about an expeditious withdrawal of those forces in excess of the Turkish and Greek contingents. 2. The Governments of Greece and Turkey would declare their readiness to comply forthwith with the appeal of the Secretary-General. 3. Thereupon the Greek Government will withdraw expedi- tiously its military forces and military personnel and equipment from Cyprus. Accompanying this, the Turkish Government will take all the necessary measures for removing the crisis. 4. In response to the appeal of the Secretary-General, there should be an enlarged and improved mandate for UNFICYP giving it an increased pacification role, which would include supervision of disarmament of all forces constituted after 1963 and new practical arrangements for the safeguarding of internal security including the safety of all citizens. Implementation of Greek-Turkish agreement concludedr1o^ in response to Secretary-General's appeal. The Greek-Turkish agreement over Cyprus is intended to be implemented in the following manner; 1. The Greek Government will withdraw from Cyprus those forces which are in excess of the Greek contingent of 950 men. The withdrawal will take place within 45 days. With regard to equipment only, this time limit can be extended to 60 days. The Turkish Government will withdraw Turkish military personnel from Cyprus which is in excess of the Turkish contingent of 650 men. The term "military personnel" used in paragraph 3 of the agreement does not refer to the Greek cadres of the National Guard, which will be recalled only when it is decided to disarm the National Guard pursuant to paragraph 4 of the agreement. This was clearly stated by the Greek Government to Mr. Vance. Turkey will take all the necessary measures for removing the crisis, that is, dismantle its war and invasion preparations. 2. 2. With regard to internal security in Cyprus it was agreed that would be disarmed: a) The National Guard of Cyprus b) The armed organisation of Turkish Cypriots. (This is confirmed in an explanatory letter addressed by the Turkish Foreign Minister to Mr. Brosio). It was agreed that there should be an enlarged and improved mandate for UNFICYP giving it an increased pacification role which includes supervision of disarmement of all forces constituted after 1963 and new practical arrangements for the safeguarding of internal security including the safety of all citizens. All this is understood without prejudice to the sovereign rights of the Republic of Cyprus. (On the Greek side this reservation was expressed in a letter of the Greek Foreign Minister to Mr. Vance dated November 28, 1967 in the following terms "(Greece) cannot engage the responsibility of the Cyprus Government, whose rights must by necessity remain reserved"). 3. Lastly, it should be noted that paragraph 1 of the agreement indirectly anticipates the ultimate withdrawal from Cyprus of the Greek and Turkish contingents (950 and 650 men respectively) since it mentions that the immediate withdrawals are to be seen "as a first step along the lines of the Secretary- General's appeal" (of 24 November 1967). OBSERVATIONS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEK-TURKISH AGREEMENT CONCLUDED IN RESPONSE TO APPEAL OF SECRETARY-GENERAL The Greek-Turkish agreement over Cyprus consisted of two parts, one of which was meant to be implemented directly by Greece and Turkey, while the implementation of the other involving the Government of Cyprus was to be the object of the good offices of the Secretary-General. With regard to the observance of the terms of the first part of the agreement by Greece and Turkey, the following should be noted: 1. Greece took immediate measures for the withdrawal of its forces in Cyprus. It is well known that the withdrawal of Greek forces started shortly after the appeal of the Secretary- General of 3 December 1967, and that it has continued since then at a rapid pace. It is now well on the way toward completion. 2. Despite the promptness of Greece's compliance with the agreement, Turkey has taken to date no measures tending toward the withdrawal of its forces in Cyprus that are in excess of the Turkish contingent. 3. Moreover, it is of the utmost importance to note that Turkey has taken no measures toward dismantling its war and invasion preparations in accordance with the agreement. On the contrary, available information indicates that all preparations have been maintained. 2. 4. In violation of the letter and the spirit of the Greek-Turkish agreement over Cyprus reached in response to the appeal of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Turkish Government connived with the Turkish-Cypriot leadership in taking measures leading to a new crisis on December 29, 1967-invoking the tension which it thus created, Turkey reportedly is putting again on the alert the forces which should have been dismantled. TELEPHONE CABLE: ADDRESS RH -S-4O62 D ELEGREECE PERMANENT MISSION OF GREECE TO THE UNITED NATIONS rf," 59 EAST 79TH STREET NEW YORK, N.Y. IOO2I AIDE-MEMOIRE The Turkish demarche concerning the withdrawal of Greek forces from Cyprus, caused surprise to the Greek Government, the much more so, as it followed promptly the Turkish Government's action in Nicosia, violating the letter and the spirit of the agreement reached by the Governments of Greece and Turkey after the last crisis and blatwtly ignoring the recommendations of the Security Council. The Turkish demarche is totally unjustified, especially if seen in the light of the fact that up to this date, the Turkish Government has not seen fit to inform the Government of Greece of the measures it has taken, in accordance with the above-mentioned agreement, i.e. to set an end to the military readiness it had built up and to withdraw its own excess forces from Cyprus. From unofficial sources only do the Greek authorities know that some Turkish military units have been withdrawn from advanced positions in Western Thrace. As to the military situation in Southern Turkey, nothing concrete is known to the Greek authorities except that some airforce formations have changed their stationing point. This certainly is of no practical value whatsoever. It is, nevertheless, the Greek Government's intention to 2. abide by its obligations within the date limits foreseen, provided the Government of Turkey does not go on pushing towards a new crisis by action such as that of December 29, 1967, which is the object of the Secretary-General's report to the Security Council of January 3, 1968 (Doc. S/8323). New York, January 5, 1968 The Government has decided to proceed without delay with the repair, completion of repairs or reconstruction where necessary of damaged Turkish houses and other buildings in the following 21 villages:- (1) Potamia (2) Melia (3) Yerovasa (4) Kithassi (5) Pittarkou (6) Fasli (7) Prastie (Limassol) (8) Prastio (Paphos) (9) Ayios Sosomenos (10) Nisou (11) Axilou (12) Anoyira (13) Kourdakkas (14) Orounta (15) Ayios Theodores (Karpassia) (16) Syngrassis (17) Anglissides (18) Ayia Anna 2. (19) Lefkara (20) Kilani (21) Fasoulia The work of repairs in villages (1) to (13) inclusive will be completed by the 31st August, 1971. The work for the repair of damaged buildings in villages (14) to (21) inclusive will be completed approximately by the end of 1971. The second stage of this programme for 1971, which is the repair of houses and other buildings in villages (14) to (21) will only be implemented if the Turkish-Cypriot inha- bitants return to their villages which will be repaired by the 31st August, 1971. You will, no doubt, appreciate that repaired buildings,' if unoccupied, deteriorate both due to natural causes as well as due to the unfortunate practice of furtive removal of building materials from houses of deserted villages, requiring thus further financial expenditure to make them habitable. Without in any way implying that the Government reco- gnizes any special status to other villages or areas of any limi- tation of its powers, functions and responsibilities, I wish to make it absolutely clear that Turkish inhabitants returning to the aforementioned villages will be subject to the laws of the Republic, the jurisdiction of the Courts of the Republic and 3. that the Government not only will be responsible for the safety of the inhabitants of such villages, but will also exercise administrative and Police control with regard to them. Where repairs have been made to houses and other buildings in villages inhabited exclusively by Turks, all the inhabitants of such villages may return to them. Where, however, the village is a mixed one, the Government may consider it neces- sary to postpone the return of individual Turkish Cypriots whose presence in the village, in view of their past activities, may cause difficulties in the peaceful co-existence of the inhabitants of that village.

  • Simulation of Extreme Rainfall and Streamflow Events in Small
    Simulation of extreme rainfall and streamflow events in small Mediterranean watersheds with a one-way coupled atmospheric- hydrologic modelling system Corrado Camera1, Adriana Bruggeman2, George Zittis3, Ioannis Sofokleous2, and Joël Arnault4 5 1 Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra ’A. Desio’, Università degli Studi di Milano, Milano, 20133, Italy 2 Energy Environment and Water Research Center, The Cyprus Institute, Nicosia, 2121, Cyprus 3 Climate and Atmosphere Research Center, The Cyprus Institute, Nicosia, 2121, Cyprus 4 Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Garmisch‐Partenkirchen, 82467, Germany 10 Correspondence to: Corrado Camera ([email protected]) Abstract. Coupled atmospheric-hydrologic systems are increasingly used as instruments for flood forecasting and water management purposes, making the performance of the hydrologic routines a key indicator of the model functionality. This study’s objectives were: (i) to calibrate the one-way coupled WRF-hydro model for simulating extreme events in Cyprus with observed 15 precipitation; and (ii) to evaluate the model performance when forced with WRF-downscaled (1 × 1 km2) re-analysis precipitation data (ERA-Interim). This set up resembles a realistic modelling chain for forecasting applications and climate projections. Streamflow was modelled during extreme rainfall events that occurred in January 1989 (calibration) and November 1994 (validation) over 22 mountain watersheds. In six watersheds, Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiencies (NSE) larger than 0.5 were obtained for both events. The WRF-modelled rainfall showed an average NSE of 0.83 for January 1989 and 0.49 for 20 November 1994. Nevertheless, hydrologic simulations of the two events with the WRF-modelled rainfall and the calibrated WRF-Hydro returned negative streamflow NSE for 13 watersheds in January 1989 and for 18 watersheds in November 1994.

Denmatint Committee on Graduate Studies Water Supply Enhancement in Cyprus through Evaporation Reduction by Chad W. Cox Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 7, 1999 in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering Abstract The Republic of Cyprus is prone to periodic multi-year droughts. The Water Development Department (WDD) is therefore investigating innovative methods for producing and conserving water. One of the concepts being considered is reduction of evaporation from surface water bodies. A reservoir operation study of the Southern Conveyor Project (SCP) suggests that an average of 6.9 million cubic meters (MCM) of water is lost to evaporation each year. The value of this water is over CYE 1.2 million, and replacement of this volume of water by desalination will cost CYE 2.9 million. The WDD has investigated the use of monomolecular films for use in evaporation suppression, but these films are difficult to use in the field and raise concerns about health effects.

Received: 9 October 2010; in revised form: 18 November 2010 / Accepted: 25 November 2010 / Published: 1 December 2010 Abstract: The article presents a comprehensive overview of the various economic activities performed by the Kykkos Monastery in Cyprus in its long history (11th–20th centuries). The article begins with a brief review of the early centuries of Cypriot monasticism and the foundation of the monastery in the 11th century. Then, the analysis focuses on the economic activities performed during the period of the Ottoman rule (1571–1878). Using primary sources from the monastery’s archives, this section offers an overview of the various types of monastic land holdings in the Ottoman era and the strategies used to purchase them. Using 19th century primary sources, it further presents a detailed account of the multifaceted involvement and illustrates the prominent role of the monastery in the island’s economic life (land ownership, stockbreeding activities, lending of money, etc.). Next, it examines the changes in monastic possessions caused by the legislation enacted by the post-1878 British colonial administration.

The broad perspective of historical sociology is used, and the more specific neo-Weberian analytic framework of cultural transformation and social closure, as developed by A. Wimmer, to demonstrate how nationalism, as the 'axial principle' along which modem societies structure inclusion and exclusion, did not lead to the development of a Cypriot nation- state, but to a bi-ethnic national state instead; this was mainly because closure took place along ethnie and not national lines, for socio-historical reasons which the study examines. The study first explores the hotly debated issue 'when is the nation', of whether there was a Greek nation in antiquity, of which Greek-Cypriots were a part, or whether the nation's roots are traceable in Medieval times. Next, the development of national consciousness and nationalism is considered, under three différent types of regime: Düring Ottoman rule, a religious community was gradually transformed into an ethnie community; toward the end of this period, Ottoman reforms did not manage to forge a common new (Ottomanist) identity, for social closure had already progressed along ethnie Unes.
