""/""" TEL: (212) 686.6O16 ,,1 f i L-- ''•' - " I 27 November 1981 -^ /-. ,-, '--..._-- » -|- Excellency, Upon instructions from my government, I have the honour to draw Your Excellency's attention and that of the membership of the Security Council to the decision taken by the Turkish - Cypriot leadership to confer "citizenship" of the so called "Turkish Federated State of Cyprus" to Turkish settlers from Turkey . According to Turkish Cypriot newspaper reports (OLAY of 9 November 1981) and verified information received by authorities of the government of the Republic of Cyprus, the Turkish - Cypriot leadership has Specified "Special cases of eligibility for citizen- ships of the "Turkish Federated State of Cyprus". 'The new amend- ment to the law, annexed hereto, is dated 28 October 1981 and is published in the "Official gazette No. 107". As Your Excellency is well aware the "Turkish Federated State of Cyprus" is a fictitious entity whose establishment was regretted by the Security Council in its resolution 367 of 12 May, 1975. Furthermore Your Excellency will recall General Assembly resolution 3395 (XXX) , on which only Turkey cast a negative vote, » • • / £• * - 2 - which in its operative para 6 urged all parties to refrairrt from unilateral action in contravention of its resolution 3212 (XXIX), including changes in the demographic structure of Cyprus, as well as the discussions held in the Security Council, (S/PV2026 - 2032), on my government's complaint concerning the colonization of Famagusta and the Councilb relevant resolution, S/KES/414 (1977). The decision to confer wholesale "citizenship" to settlers from Turkey, particularly at a time when the intercommunal talks enter a new phase seriously jeopardizes a settlement of the Cyprus problem as provided by the High Level Agreements, and the United Nations resolutions. It demonstrates Turkish attempts to consolidate faits accomplis, and to encourage further colonization of the area of the Republic of Cyprus under Turkish military occupation by settlers from Turkey in order to change the agelong demographic structure of the island of Cyprus. Nor is the decision without relevance to the Turkish Cypriot leaderhip's highly inaccurate statements concerning the increase of the population of the Turkish - Cypriot community. The above action proves wrong Turkish assertions that the colonization of the occupied area of Cyprus has decreased or ceased, and dispells any allegation that the settlers are "temporary seasonal workers", as they are called, particularly since there is high unemploy- ment in the occupied area. In drawing attention to the above, it is earnestly hoped that Your Excellency and the members of the Security Council will take the — 2 — (iv) Those, whose possible contributions to TFSC's general education (religious and secular education) development is confirmed. (v) Those, who work at an important post in the TFSC security forces requiring continued service. (vi) Those who have paid extra-ordinary serivce to the TFSC. d) Those to whom the issuing of citizenship is considred essential by the Council of Ministers". - 3 - necessary steps to ensure that the Turkish side refrain from unilateral action such as the one above as called for by the Security Council and General Assembly. I should be grateful if this letter were circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under item 35 and of the Security Council. Please accept, Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration. Andreas V. Mavrommatis Ambassador Permanent Representative of Cyprus to the United Nations His Excellency Mr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary-General of the United Nations New York, N.Y. 10017 ANNEX In accordance with the new amendment, the conditions for issuing a "Citizenship" for those who reside in the "T.F.S.C." for less than 5 years are the following: "Special case citizenship grants: Those, who fall within any of the following categories and whose situation is in conformity with the stipulations of the articles of 1(C) and (D) of the second paragraph of the Law, could be given special case citizenship by a decision of the Council of Ministers. a) Those who marry TFSC citizens and settle in the TFSC and reside in the TFSC for at least one year in matrimony. b) (i) Those whose definite settlement in the TFSC for the duration of at least one year is confirmed.

N. Y. 1OO1S TEU: 1212) SSS-SOtS 17 November 1981 s Excellency: Upon instructions from my Government and further to my Letter of 9 November 1981, circulated as a United Nations document A/36/668, S/1^651, I have the honour to draw Your Excellency's attention to continued violations of the airspace of the Republic of Cyprus by jet-fighters of the Turkish Air Force which occurred on 12 and 13 November 1981, as follows: On 12 November 1981, at 0905 hours, three A/P F-104 Turkish Jet-fighters originating from southern Turkey, flew over the area of Limnitis in a westerly direction. At 0908 hours, they flew over the villages of Elias, Agkolemi and Morphou. At 1015 hours.on the same day, two A/P F-104 Turkish jet-fighters flew east to west over the villages of Elias, Lefka and Limnitis ., and then headed to the north. On 13 November 1981, from 0815 to 0825 hours, two A/F F-104 Turkish jet-fighters originating from Turkey and flying in formation violated the airspace of the Republic, over the His Excellency Dr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary-General of the United Nations NEW YORK - 2 - villages of Mia Milia, Kithrea, Palekithron and Lefkonikon and carried out dives in the area between Kithrea and Kantara. At 0825 hours, they headed to the north. At 0830 hours, two other Turkish A/F P-104 jet-fighters flying in formation, flew over the Pentadaktilos range south of Skylloura where they carried out three dives. At 0840 hours, they flew over the area of Kiparissovouno - Agirta and then headed off in a northerly direction. At 09^5 hours, two Turkish A/F F-104 jet-fighters-flew over the Pentagia - Morphou range and at 0952 hours, they circled the area where the Turkish occupation forces are carrying out military exercises. They then headed off to the north. At 1000 hours, two Turkish A/F F-104 jet-fighters flew south along the Pentadaktilos range from west to east. At 1007 hours, they carried out 6 dives east of the village of Idthrea and headed off towards the north. In strongly protesting the above aggressive actions of Turkey, I wish to point out, as I have indicated in the past, that they repeatedly take place at highly delicate phases of the Cyprus problem and are hardly conducive to an atmosphere of goodwill nor are they indicative of the necessary political will on the part of Turkey for a just solution of the Cyprus problem as called for by the High Level Agreements and the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly and Security Council, - 3 I should be grateful if this Letter were circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda item 35> and of the Security Council. Please accept. Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration. Andreas 7.
