Gist of Ambassador Eralp's statement before the plenary meeting of the General Assembly on 19 November 1979
Ambassador Eralp developed his statement along three major lines: a) reiterating the Turkish side's support for the inter- communal talks as the only way to obtain a viable solution to the Cyprus problem; b) stressing the Turkish Government's objective as not being the partition of the island of Cyprus; <> c) alleging that the Greek Cypriot side has neither the intention nor the interest to engage in a substantial negotiating process. In the course of his speech, Ambassador Eralp made the following statements which pertain to the present debate in the General Assembly: "The Turkish Government...gives unqualified support to the mission of good offices of the Secretary-General. "provisions that would lead to the internationalization of the question render the present draft resolution even more unrealistic and will inevitably have devastating effects on the intercommunal negotiating process. In short, it is a draft likely to delay the solution of the problem since it fails to recognize the fact that all aspects of the Cyprus question fall within the purview of the intercommunal negotiations. "Thus it is not realistic to call for the implementation of those resolutions in all their aspects without taking into account subsequent developments /Vienna Agreements, the Makarios-Denktash guidelines and the ten-point agreement of 19 May 1979/."

ANNEX
Letter dated 6 November 1979 from Mr, Nail Atalay to the Secretary-General
At the outset of my letter I would like to put on record that we are not at all happy with this endless exchange of letters and counter letters between the Turkish and Greek sides. We are of the opinion that it is all a waste of time and materials especially of the Organization. Not much will "be achieved by the litany of accusations and counter accusations. These only poison the atmosphere and hinder the process of negotiations which you are doing everything possible to encourage between the representatives of the two communities. In this spirit and upon instructions from my Government I have the honour to refer to the letter circulated as a document of the United Nations (A/3^/6U7- 8/13605) on 2 November 1979 and signed by Mr. Andreas Mavrommatis as the so-called "Permanent Representative of Cyprus to the United Nations" and answer his baseless allegations:
1. As Your Excellency is well aware, in May 1975 the representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), who had been sitting with the sub-committee on humanitarian matters, informed the sub-committee that ICRC's help on humanitarian matters "since the beginning of its action in Cyprus was intended to be a temporary one which would come to an end once the phase of emergency was over". This phase is now over. In spite of this, the practice of exchanging Red Cross messages - without stamps - was allowed to continue while a great number of Greek Cypriots living in the north used the normal postal services of the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus (TFSC) to send and receive letters and parcels from abroad. The message-stationary used by the Greek-Cypriot side is the property of the Tracing Agency of ICRC which terminated its activities in Cyprus more than four years ago. Furthermore, the communication activities within TFSC came up for examination when the Greek-Cypriot side tried to cut off all the Turkish Cypriots from all postal communication by its unconstitutional, untimely and discriminating move at the Universal Postal Union. It was then decided that the exchange of messages was not warranted and should have been discontinued long ago. No country in the world allows ICRC procedures and stationary to be used - free of charge - in circumstances of normality which prevails in Cyprus four years after the ending of the activity of ICRC. 2. As regards the so-called "enclaved Greek Cypriots" one only has to look at the relevant parts of Your Excellency's last three reports to the Security Council, including the most recent one, to discover the falsehood of the Greek-Cypriot accusations regarding the living conditions of these people. The extracts below, taken from Your Excellency's report to the Security Council (S/129^6, paras. 35-37) are further confirmation of this fact: A/3V659 S/13609 English Annex Page 2
"35. Medical care available to Greek Cypriots in the north is as good as that provided to Turkish Cypriots in the same area ...".
"36. In regard to agricultural activities, there are no major complaints about freedom of movement, Greek Cypriots continue.to have access also to fields at some distances from their villages."
"37. As indicated in my last report, there appears to be no restriction on freedom of worship in the north whenever the services of a priest are available."
Similar remarks with regard to the living conditions of the Greek Cypriots in the north are also made in Your Excellency's most recent report to the Security Council (S/13369, paras. 28, 29 and 3k):
"28. IMFICYP continues to discharge humanitarian functions and to promote normalization of the living conditions of the Greek Cypriots remaining in the north. Temporary visits to the south for family reasons have continued to be made possible on an ad hoc basis, both directly and through the good offices of UNFICYP ..."
"29. All transfers (from north to south) continue to be monitored by UNFICYP to ensure that they have been undertaken voluntarily."
"3^. No restrictions of freedom of worship in the north have been reported for the period under review."
It is obvious, therefore, that the Greek-Cypriot Administration cannot create a case out of living conditions of the Greek Cypriots residing in the north. It is also evident from the same statements of the Greek-Cypriot residents themselves that their living conditions in the north are perfectly satisfactory, and could even be better if the subject were not exploited by the Greek-Cypriot leadership for propaganda purposes, causing apprehension and psychological stress amongst these people.
I should be grateful if this letter were circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda item 21, and of the Security Council.

Your Excel 1ency,
At the outset of my letter I would like to put on record that we are not at all happy with this endless exchange of letters and counter letters betv/een the Turkish and Greek sides. We are of the opinion that it is all a waste of time and materials especially of the Organization. Not much will be achieved by the litany of accusations and counter accusations. These, only poison the atmosphere and hinder the process of negotiations which you are doing everything possible to encourage between the representatives of the two communities.
In this spirit and upon instructions from my Government I have the honour to refer to the letter circulated as a document of the United Nations (A/34/647-S/13605} on 2 November 1979 and signed by Mr. Andreas Mavrommatis as the so-called "Permanent Representative of Cyprus to the United Nations" and answer his baseless allegations:
1. As Your Excellency is well aware, in May 1975 the represen- tative of ICRC who had been sitting with the sub-committee on humani- tarian matters informed the sub-committee that the ICRS's help on humanitarian matters "since the beginning of its action in Cyprus was intended to be a temporary one which would come to an end once the phase of emergency was over." This phase is now over.' In spite of this,

Nail Atalay Representative of the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus TO: STROHAL FOR; SECRETARY-GENERAL FROM: FEREZ DE CUELLAR DATE: 22 AUGUST 79 NUMBER STR525-8.
UP-DATE OH THE CYPRUS INITIATIVE. 1. THE REPLY OF BOTH SIDES TO THE INITIATIVE FOR THE RESUMPTION OF THE INTERCOMMUHAL T4LKS HAS ONLY BEEN CONVEYED ON 21 AUGUST AND 22 AUGUST. MR. DENKTASH HAS MAINTAINED HIS POSITION, THAT THE NEW APPROACH, IN SO FAR AS IT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO HIM VERBALLY BY MR. GALJDNDO-POHL, DOES NOT FULFIL THE REQUIREMENT OF HIS COMMUNITY; NAMELY, THE UNEQUIVOCABLE CONFIRMATION OF THE CONCEPT OF "BIZONALITY", NOR THE CONCEPT OF SECURITY AS AGREED UPON, IN HIS VIEW, BY ARCHBISHOP MAKARIOS BN TWELVE FEBRUARY 1977. IN OTHER WORDS, MR. DENKTASH HAS MAINTAINED THE POSITION THAT ONLY IF THE CONCEPTS OF "BIZONALITY" AND SECURITY ARE ACCEPTED "WITHOUT BEING ERODED IN ANY WAY", THEN THE TALKS CAN RESUME.
2. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE TURKISH CYPRIOT LEADER AND TURKISH FOREIGN MINISTRY OFFICIALS IN ANKARA HAVE MADE IT KNOWN THAT IN THEIR VIEW THE NEW APPROACH DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE EVENHANDED. THIS IMPLICATION IS ALSO CONTAINED IN THE TALKING PAPER WHICH-WAS READOUT TO MR. GALINDO-POHL IN NICOSIA ON 21 AUGUST SY^HE.DIENKTASH.
3. THE GREEK CYPRIOT SIDE HAS SHOSEN TO DISREGARD OUR PRESENTATION OH THE CONCEPT OF SECURITY AS BEING REFERRED TO BOTH COMMUNITIES, BY STRESSING THAT THESE MATTERS CONCERN "THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS AS A WHOLE AND ALL £P ITS CITIZENS".
4. PRESIDENT KYPRIANOU HAS MADE IT CLEAR BOTH THROUGH PUBLIC STATEMENTS AND DURING CONSULTATION WITH UN OFFICIALS THAT HIS SIDE ITENDS TO PURSUE A THE GOAL OF INTERNATIONALIZATION OF THE CYPRUS QUESTION. FOR THE CYPRUS GOVERNMENT, IT WAS INDICATED TO MR. GALINDO-POHL, THAT IT HAD BECOME A " MURT" TO GO TO HAVANA.
5. IN THE LIGHT OF THE RESPONSE OF THE TWO SIDES, WHICH WAS EMERGING EVEN BEFORE THE OFFICIAL RESPONSES WERE CONVEYED, IT WAS THOUGH APPROPRIATE TO KEEP THE MEMBERS OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL INFORMED OF THE CURRENT EFFORTS OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON THE ISSUE. ALL MEMBERS, PERMANENT AMD NON-PERMANENT, HAVE THEREFORE BEEN BRIEFED AND HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR THANKS FOR HAVING BEEN KEPT INFORMED AND THEIR SUPPORT TO THE PRESENT EFFORT. SOME HAVE TAKEN PARALLEL DIPLOMATIC ACTION IN THE CAPITOLS CONCERNED IN SUPPORT OF THE INITIATIVE.
6. IN THE LIGHT OP THE DIFFICULTIES WHICH THE T¥© SIDES SEEM TO HAVE WITH THE WORDING CHOSEN TO PRESENT THE NEW INITIATIVE, SOME AMENDMENTS HAD BEEN DEVISED IN ORDER TO BRIDGE THE GAP. THIS HAD BEEN MADE POSSIBLE ALSO BY THE FACT THAT MR. GALINDO-POHL HAD NOT HANDED TO THE SIDES ANY WRITTEN PAPER. HOWEVER, WHEN FIRST APPROACHED ON 22 AUGUST, PRESIDENT KYFRIANOU DID NOT FIND THE AMENDMENTS HELPFUliT ALL. MR. DENKTASH WILL BE APPROACHED ON THE SAME GROUND ON 23 AUGUST.
7. IT IS WORTHWHILE NOTING THAT ON 22 AUGUST IN THE COURSE OF AN INTERVIEW WITH A FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, MR. DENKTASH CALLED FOR AN IMMEDIATE INFORMAL MEETING BETWEEN HIMSELF AND PRESIDENT KYFRIANOU WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF OTHER LEADERS OF THE TWO COMMUNITIES UNDER THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF MR. GALINDO-POHL. HE COMMENTED ON HIS PROPOSAL BY SAYING THAT " SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE VERY QUICKLY" IN ORDER TO OVERCOME DIFFICULTIES. WE HAVE NO OTHER INFORMATION, NEITHER FORMAL NOR INFORMAL OF THIS PROPOSAL.
8. THE GREEK CYPRIOTS SEEM MORE AND MORE ATTRACTED BY THE FORTHCOMING INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS; INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE DRAFT RESOLUTION BEING PREPARED FOR THE NON-ALIGNED COUNTRIES CONFERENCE WILL BE CONSIDERED ANOTHER "SUCCESS" FOR ;••:?. PRESIDENT KYPRIANOU. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT is WORTHWHILE UOTHfiC THAT DESPITE SEVERAL DEMARCHES MADE IN ANKARA BY PERMANENT MEMBERS OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL IN SUPPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL'S INITIATIVE, THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT HAS CHOSEN NOT TO ADVISE MR. DENKTASH TO SOFTEN HIS ATTITUDE. MR. ECEVIT'S PARTY'S UNCERTAIN PROSPECTS IN THE FORTHCOMING PARTIAL ELECTIONS OF 14 OCTOBER BAY HAVE A ROLE IN THIS MATTER. ENDIT . ZCZC TYW435 uwu^i co T:;AX

The Greek Cypriot propaganda campaign to the effect that the Turkish Cypriot side has caused a rupture in the talks by putting preconditions seems to gain ground in the absence of an equal chance for the Turkish Cypriots to be heard at international fora, numerous are letters and messages by me to the United Nations Secretariat from 19^3 onwards - during my tenure of office as the Vice-President of Cyprus - pointing out that any decision taken in the absence of the Turkish Cypriot community would not be binding on it. It is because of this apparent injustice to the. Turkish Cypriot side that the Greek Cypriot authorities prefer one-sided propaganda and resolutions from international fora to serious and sustained negotiations at the intercommunal level. It is a pity that no one is pointing out to the Greek Cypriot leaders the utter incompatibility of their present efforts at international fora with the letter and spirit of the agreement of 19 May 1979- Each and every resolution which the Greek Cypriots have one-sidedly secured from various international fora in the past and which they endeavour to get now and hereafter is a well-calculated assault on the' concept for intercommunal agreement which they have seemingly accepted at summit conferences only to negate at the next international meeting. Each year the Greek Cypriot side chooses to resort to international fora as a means for prolonging the settlement of the Cyprus problem and they use the one-sided and unrealistic resolutions which they get from those conferences as new reasons for delaying the settlement for another year. This vicious circle is achieving a rather permanent pattern and the condemnation of Turkey (for having saved the Turkish Cypriot community and the bi-national independence from utter destruction) has become a sine qua non of their one-sided resolutions. The late Archbishop Makarios, whose conspiracy with the Government of Greece in 1963 led to the formation of secret armies which launched their pre-planned attack 'On the Turkish Cypriots on 21 December 1963, is on record for having stated that the Greek Cypriots will not sign any agreement which bars Enosis (union with Greece) and that he will consent to the change of status of "the Government of Cyprus" only for Enosis. He saw no reason to conceal that to each and every government in Greece he had offered Cyprus and that union with Greece continued to be his unchanged goal for the fulfilment of which he had taken a "holy oath" in 1950 which he had never violated.' "The Government of Cyprus" which Archbishop Makarios was ready to forego if only Enosis was achieved was the Greek Cypriot wing of a bi-national government which he had destroyed by force of arms in I960 and thus usurped the rights of the co-partner Turkish community. This grotesque Greek Cypriot Administration, which violated every single article of the human rights convention from 1963 A/3UA62 S/1353^ English Annex Page 3 to 197^5 has now been taken over by Mr. Kyprianou, who declares that he is following the footsteps of his leader Archbishop Makarios . The Turkish Cypriot community has defied the unconstitutional rule of Archbishop Makarios from 1963 to 197^ and has resisted the coup by the Greek Junta thus saving its members from common graves only with the legitimate intervention by Turkey. The presentation of facts by the Greek Cypriot aggressors to the international fora is grossly distorted. It will be impossible to solve the Cyprus problem as long as the United Nations permits this distortion to continue in international fora. , Turkish and Greek Cypriots have lived a,s two distinct nationalities in Cyprus for four centuries without intermixing, each guarding its national and religious characteristics and institutions, each having its own language schools, separate cultures and traditions. Greek Cypriots always regarded themselves as Greeks and aspired at uniting the island with Greece while the Turkish Cypriots resisted this policy of union with Greece and claimed the right of reversion to Turkey in case of a change of sovereignty over the island. Few people know that Greek Cypriots never ruled the Turkish .Cypriots in kdO years of coexistence and they have no moral, legal or political right to do so now short of an intercommunal agreement for the re-establishment of a partnership government which they had wilfully destroyed in 1963 and refused to re-establish until this day. In short, the chronological events of Cyprus are: 1571-1878 Turkish rule in Cyprus. 1878 - Administration of the island handed to Britain, Ottoman's retaining the right of sovereignty. The two communities live under British rule retaining their separate identity. - Great Britain unilaterally annexes the island. Turkish Cypriots are declared to be alien enemies by Britain which, with the help of Greek Cypriots, begins oppressing the Turkish Cypriots. The Turkish Cypriots who were the dominant elements in the island begin to wane economically and otherwise because their leaders are put into prison, etc. Greek Cypriots vie with each other in harassing the Turkish Cypriots. Between 191^-1923 many Turkish Cypriots are forced to leave the island. During these years the Turkish community's plight is enormous. But for each movement by Greek Cypriots to materialize Enosis Turkish Cypriots immediately make a counter move. Enosis for the Turkish Cypriots is permanent loss of hope for future liberty and freedom; for the Greek Cypriots liberty and freedom can only be achieved by union with Greece. A/3UA62 S/13531* English Annex Page U 1931 - Greek Cypriots revolt for Enosis. Stringent measures adopted by Britain hit the Turkish community very hard. All Enosis leaders are expelled and all Enosis propaganda is prohibited. - At the end of the Second World War Enosis leaders are allowed to return to Cyprus and the prohibition on Enosis movement is lifted. An upsurge of Enosis activity by the Greek Cypriots is countered by an upsurge of demand by the Turkish Cypriots for putting an end to such activities or else for returning the island to its ex-owner Turkey. 1950 - Archbishop Makarios takes the "holy oath" to unite the island with Greece. - In agreement with the Greek Government the Archbishop clandestinely brings to Cyprus terrorists and war material under the leadership of the notorious Colonel Grivas and puts all church funds at the disposal of terrorists for achieving Enosis. Self-government or independence are declared to be "traps for destroying Enosis" and all those who wish self-government or independence are labelled "traitors to the national cause". 1 April 1955 - MOKA launches its terrorism which lasts until 1958. During these four years hundreds of Turkish Cypriots are murdered; 6,000 Turkish Cypriots are forced to flee from 33 villages where all Turkish properties are destroyed. Enosis is the war cry, "death to the Turkish Cypriots" is the national flag under which Greek Cypriot youth is trained. Turkish Cypriots form their own underground organization and retaliate in self-defence. Greece supports the Greek Cypriots in political propaganda and materially. As the death-toll of Turkish Cypriots begins to rise Turkey becomes acutely concerned. Turkish Cypriot resistance to Greek Cypriots and Turkey's growing concern leads to a compromise solution. 1959 - Zurich and London agreements are signed. A partnership Republic is born in I960. 1960 - Archbishop Makarios, who has become the President of a bi -national State, categorically states that the aim is still Enosis. He aims at abolishing the I960 agreements, which prohibit Enosis and guarantee intercommunal accord. He sets up secret armies. 1963 - Greek Cypriot offensive begins when the Turkish side rejects the Archbishop's offers to amend the Constitution. 103 Turkish villages are evacuated under Greek Cypriot threats and attacks . A/3VU62 S/1353!* English Annex Page 5 Thirty thousand Turkish Cypriots "become refugees for 11 years. All Turkish Cypriot elements in the partnership government are ejected by force of arms and Turkish Cypriots declared to be a rebel community just because it refused to succumb to the unorthodox and unconstitutional rule of terror by the Greek side! Twenty thousand Greek mainland troops are clandestinely imported into the island. Harassment of Turkish Cypriots, denial of all human rights continue unabated until The coup leads to Turkey's intervention and Turkish Cypriots find peace in Cyprus for the first time in 11 years . In 1975 an exchange of population agreement is reached between the two sides and all those who wish to move to their sector are helped by UHFICYP to do so. All Turkish Cypriots, save 150, who had suffered the indignities and terror, injustice and hardship of living in a Greek Cypriot dominated area for 11 years and who had known no day of peace, free from fear or anxiety, chose to move north to the liberated sector. All Greek Cypriots, save about 2 ,,000, eventually moved south to the Greek sector. In the light of these realities the four -point summit agreement of 1977 reached between the leaders of the two communities foresaw a bi-zonal, bi-communal non-aligned federal republic'. ' This was confirmed in the summit meeting of 19 May 1977- Greek Cypriot leaders, however, proclaim that they will revert Cyprus to pre-197^ days (i.e. armed dominance over the Turkish Cypriots at all costs) through a policy of long struggle. Contrary to the summit agreements referred to above, they continue one-sided propaganda at international fora and attempt to deceive the world at the expense of the rights and freedoms of the Turkish Cypriot community. I wish to put on record my anxiety at the continued sufferance of the Greek Cypriot side to attempt to deceive the world at large and at the unrealistic resolutions which seem to spurt from international organizations at the beg and call of the Greek Cypriot side. The treatment by the international world body of the aggressor as the aggrieved can bring no peace and justice to Cyprus . Let us hope that truth and reality will one day triumph over a decade-old Greek propaganda. I shall be glad if you kindly have this letter circulated as a United Hations document .

IN VIEW OF OUR EXPERIENCE UNDUE OPTIMISM IS NO' T TO- Tii£ SECRETARY- GENERAL cA CONFIDENTIAL ' BEU/GLS/jm NOTE FOR THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON \JCONVERS AT I ON WITH THE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF TURKEY ON 22 JUNE 1979 Mr. Akiman, the Charge d'Affaires of the Permanent Mission of Turkey, outlined the point of view of the Turkish side concerning the recent developments in the intercommunal talks as follows: 1. The Turkish side has no intention to drag out the intercommunal talks. It sincerely desires a meaningful and result-oriented > dialogue. 2. There is no question of drawing back from the Denktash-Kyprianou agreement, or from the principle that priority is to be given to the question of the resettlement of Varosha. 3. However this attitude does not mean that the Turkish side will take upon itself obligations concerning Varosha without an understanding between the two communities on certain minimum common denominators. The Denktash-Kyprianou agreement does not lend itself to such an interpretation. 4. if the Greek side persists in its present attitude, it will not be possible to achieve the desired progress in a short period of time. Mr. Akiman explained that when Mr. Onan mentioned the principles of bi-zonality and security, Mr. loannides said that it was not acceptable to add anything to the four guidelines and to the ten-point agreement of 19 May 1979? that "bi-zonality" and "security" had been deliberately omitted from the guidelines and could therefore not be considered as a binding part of the basis for the intercommunal talks. in the Turkish view, this meant that any substantive Turkish Cypriot proposals which invoked bi-zonality and security would ipso facto be rejected by the Greek Cypriots on the grounds that they used a different basis from the one that had been accepted on 19 May. Mr. Urguhart gave an account of the Secretary-General's reply to Mr. Onan's inquiry and explained that bi-zonality and security had been implicitly accepted by Greek Cypriot spokesmen, whose statements to that effect were on record. There would be no difficulty about submitting proposals which were guided by these concepts; but it would cause great difficulties to ask the Greek Cypriots to accept these concepts in the abstract as additions to the ten- point agreement or the guidelines. Mr. Perez de Cuellar would be returning to New York for consultations on 23 June. The Secretary-General would discuss with him ways and means of getting around this difficulty, which should not be an insuperable one, and returning the talks to the right course. Mr. Akiman would also no doubt be talking to Mr. Perez de Cuellar next week. c c.. TURKISH PERMANENT MISSION TO THE UNITED NATIONS New York, 13 l-iune 1979 Your Excellency, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith the text of a message from Prime Minister Ecevit of Turkey in reply to your message of June 5» 1979 addressed to him. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration. Orhan Eralp Ambassador Permanent Representative H.E.Dr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary-General of the United Nations United Nations New York, N.Y., 1001? Ankara, June 15, 1979 Dear Mr. Secretary-General, Acknowledging receipt of your message dated June 5th,1979 concerning the issue of " Missing parsons " in Cyprus, I would like to inform you that its contents have been transmitted to the attention of H.E. President Denktas,. President Denktas has reaffirmed that the matter is before the Council of Ministers of the T F S C with his favourable recommendations. As the Government of the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus has been seized of the matter, it would naturally be impossible for me to interfere with this process. I? however, approached President Denktas, suggesting the consideration of this important question with due urgency. I will also venture to urge Your Excellency to send a personal message to President Denktas, for the same purpose. Please accept, Mr. Secretary-General, the assurances of my highest consideration. Biilent Ecevit . -./ Prime Minister of Turkey jjj-E.'.Dr. :Kurt Valdheim Secretary-General of the ,:. • United Nations THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 5 June 1979 Dear Mr. Ambassador, I should appreciate it very much if you would transmit the following message to His Excellency Mr. Bulent Scevit, Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey, at your earliest convenience: "Dear Mr. Prime Minister, As the date set for the resumption of the intercommunal talks on Cyprus approaches, 1 feel increasingly concerned over the delay in finalizing the agreement regarding the Committee on Missing persons. As you know, agreement on this subject x\?a.s reached at the high-level meeting in Nicosia on 13-19 May on the basis of a compromise formula that I put forward in pursuance of my good offices mission. Under this proposal, it would be understood that 'the representative of the Secretary-General to be appointed in the pursuance of General Assembly resolution 33/172 will, in reaching a binding independent opinion, act in consultation with the parties.' In my view, this text should fully safeguard, the position of the Turkish Cypriot side. Mr. Denktash, while accepting my suggestion, undertook to submit it to his appropriate authorities. My Special Representative has since been informed by Mr. Denktash's office that it has not yet been possible to arrive at a consensus on this matter. I am concerned, that any further delay in finalizing the agreement would have an adverse effect on the atmosphere of the forthcoming intercommunal negotiations. May His Excellency Mr. Orhan Eralp Permanent Representative of Turkey to the United Nations New York I therefore convey this personal appeal to you, Mr. Prime Minister, to exert your influence with a view to having the Nicosia agreement on this matter finalized, so as to make it possible for this tragic problem to be settled and to remove a source of discord, on the eve of the resumption of the intercoramunal talks. Please accept, Mr. Prime Minister, the assurances of mv hicrhest consideration. Kurt Waldheim Secretary-General" Please accept, Mr. Ambassador, the assurances of my highest consideration. Kurt Waldheim Thursday 31 May 1979 NOTE FOR THE FILE The Secretary-General spoke to the Ambassador of Turkey today regarding the possibility of rejection by Mr. Denktash of the compromise formula concerning missing persons in Cyprus. He felt that such a rejection would inevitably have an adverse effect on the prospects for the resumption of inter-cominunal talks and urged that the Turkish government should use its influence with the Turkish-Cypriot leadership to have the compromise formula accepted. The Secretary-General expressed the view that as Special Representative had to act in consultation with two parties the position of both sides was fully protected and there should not be any apprehension that any arbitrary action could be taken.

The experience he has gained at the United Nations will be extensively utilized at the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. While not being able to extend the leave of absence of >r.r. Kandenir, the Turkish Government has decided to offer the services of another Turkish diplomat, Mrs. Filiz Dingraen, Director of the Department of International Organizations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and submit her candidature for the same post :-;hich will be vacated by Mr. Kandemir. H.E. Dr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary-General of the United Nations - 2 - Turkey's membership in the relevant organs of the United Nations is an evidence of her close interest in international efforts for narcotic drugs control. An opium grower itself, the measures it has taken recently have been most effective in conrolling illicit opium growing and trafficking. The assistance it has received from the United Nations to enhance its efforts has been most valuable. As head of the Department in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly responsible with the coordination of interna- tional efforts and the many programmes and projects sponsored by the United Nations, Mrs. Dingmen has contributed to the successful implementation of the many decisions taken at the _.•>•••,. '•-:'•'«•'.'' United Nations. The wide experience, . she has gained as head ^ of the International Organizations Department, as well as during her earlier carreer both representing Turkey at several international' fora and serving at a regional economic organiza- tion, make her eligible to serve in an international organization at a different capacity. As it will be recalled the Turkish Government attaches great importance to being represented.at the higher •.echelons of the Secretariat. Therefore, Mrs. Dingmen's appointment .to -the United Nations Division of Narcotic Drugs will not only do justice to a competent candidate from Turkey who has proven herself during the many years she has served at the Ministry of - 3 - Foreign Affairs but will also assist in maintaining the present level of Turkish representation at the United Nations Secretariat. Furthermore, her candidature should also be considered within the context of the many resolutions adopted by the General Assembly advocating an increase in the number of women in the Secretariat. The curriculum vitae of Mrs. Dingmen is enclosed.

I should be grateful if this letter were circulated as a document of the Economic and Social Council/ under item 5, Human Rights Question, and of the Security Council. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration . Orh.an Eralp Ambassador Permanent Representative H. E. Dr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary-General United Nation Organization New York OFFICE OF THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE TURKISH FEDERATED STATE OF CYPRUS TEL: (212) 687-235O 821 UNITED NATIONS PLAZA, 1OTH FLOOR NEW YORK, NEW YORK 1OO17 May 7, 1979 Your Excellency, I have the honour to draw Your Excellency's attention to the statement made by the Greek Cypriot representative in the Social Committee of the ECOSOC on. 4 May, 1979 in which, inter alia, he referred to the General Assembly resolution 33/172 of 20 December 1978, concerning the question of missing persons in Cyprus and he claimed that his administration has been trying to establish the investigatory body as envisaged • in that resolution. As Your Excellency will recall, when this matter was discussed in the Third Committee on 12 December, 1978, the Permanent Representative of Turkey had sought the opinion of the Legal Advisor on the following questions: "1. Does the Legal Counsel think that a General Assembly resolution can confer the role of compulsory arbitrator upon the Secretary- General or his representative in the absence, of the explicit consent of both parties and even of the Secretary-General himself? H. E. Dr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary-General United Nations Organization New York - 2 - 2. Has there been any precedent to this effect? 3. Will such a provision be in conformity with the established international practice?" The following is the text of the letter of the Legal Counsel of 15 December, 1978, in answer to his queries, later addressed to the Your Excellency in writing: "Dear Mr. Ambassador, "In reply to your letter of 13 December 1978 to the Secretary-General, in which you requested an answer by the Legal Counsel to several questions, I have the honour to attach these answers. The answers read as follows: "Before responding to the questions raised by the Permanent Representative of Turkey in his letter addressed to the Secretary-General dated 13 December 1978, it is useful first of all to characterize the particular procedure which is envisaged in the resolution adopted by the Third Committee. The 'investigatory body1 to be established by this resolution is in the nature of an ad hoc body of inquiry or fact-finding rather than of arbitration or judicial settlement. The procedure, in other words, is diplomatic, not juducial, in nature. It follows from this that the assimilation of this body to a process of arbitration is not appropriate. It is clear, however, that the procedure envisaged has the purpose of settling a dispute, a term which in its widest sense may be understood as a disagreement on a point of law or fact. All dispute settlement procedures, whether diplomatic or judicial, are based on the consent of the parties. In the light of the foregoing, it is possible to formulate the following answers to the questions raised: "1. In the absence of the explicit consent of both sides, the General Assembly cannot confer upon the Secretary-General the role of a compulsory arbitrator. - 3 - ".2. There is no precedent for conferring such a role upon the Secretary-General in the absence of the consent of the parties. "3. Established international practice in the matter of dispute settlement attaches primacy to the consent of the parties. Such consent must be express and not implied." Furthermore, I indicated in my letter dated 13 December, 1978 which was circulated as an official document of the General Assembly and of the Security Council (A/33/499 and S/12967 of 13 December, 1973)/ the Turkish Federated Stated of Cyprus on several occasions has announced its readiness for the establish- ment of an investigatory body with the participation of the International Committee of the Red Cross as envisaged in General Assembly resolution 32/128 of 14 December, 1977, adopted without a vote. While the framework provided by this resolution, adopted with the consent of the parties directly concerned still remains valid, the recourse of the Greek Cypriots to the United Nations seeking a new resolution which excludes the International Committee of the Red Cross, the only competent institution in the question of missing persons, has been a clear demonstration of their real intention to exploit this humanitarian issue for their petty political interests. I would like to reiterate in this connection that the Turkish Cypriot side, while not considering itself bound by resolution 33/172 for the above mentioned reasons, is still willing and ready to implement resolution 32/128 with the participation of the International Committee of the Red Cross _ 4 - and it is my ardent hope that the Greek Cypriot side will abandon its negative attitude and agree to the establishment of the committee so that this humanitarian question can be settled once and for all. I should be grateful if this letter were circulated as a document of the Economic and Social Council, under item 5, Human' Rights Question, and of the Security Council. Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Dr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary - General of the United Nations NEW YORK TURKISH FEDERATED STATE OF CYPRUS PRESIDENTS OFFICE (Lefkosa, Mersin 10, TURKEY) 19 April 1979 Your Excellency, I have the honour to invite your attention to a Greek Cypriot gathering, held on the occasion of the Greek Independence Day on 25 March 1979, at the Hellenic Cultural Centre in Nicosia, which was attended by the prominent members of the Greek Cypriot Community, including Mr. Spyros Kyprianou, the President of the Greek Cypriot Administration, Archbishop Chrisostomos and Greek Cypriot Ministers, during the course of which Byzantine music and marches were played, chauvinistic speeches were delivered and most astounding of all, the oath taken by Archbishop Makarios, General Grivas and their accomplices in Athens on 7 March 1953 for the creation of the EOKA underground terrorist organisation, with the purpose of uniting Cyprus with Greece, was read aloud and repeated by the audience. I wish, herein below, to quote the EOKA oath and also put on record that at a time when strenuous efforts are being concentrated on the resumption of the inter—communal talks, fanatical displays of this kind are not at all conducive to the peaceful settlement of the problem and merely nourish the suspicion that the Greek Cypriot leaders have not abandoned the implementation of the Akritas plan for the complete destruction of the bi-communality of the Cyprus state. The Akritas plan was circulated as a Security Council Document and its significance is quite clear. His Excellency Dr. Kurt Waldheim, Secretary-General of the United Nations Organisation New York. — 2 — The EOKA Oath taken by Archbishop Makarios "I take the oath on the Holy Spirit not to disclose anything I know or I shall hear about the ENOSIS struggle even if it costs me my life or even if I am subjected to the greatest tortures. I shall obey all orders given to me without questioning them." At the same gathering the Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Education of the Greek Cypriot Administration, Mr. Hadjistephanou, delivered an inflammatory speech and among other things he reiterated that "vindication" of the Greek Cypriots was only possible if the Greek Cypriots followed the course of their "national ideals". In the words of late Archbishop's memoirs these "national ideals" were summarised repeatedly from 1960 until his death to be nothing but the union of Cyprus with Greece. The Under-Secretary then pointed out that "Cyprus Hellenism" could only preserve its national identity by sticking to "national values and ideals" and by remaining "faithful" to their history. A more significant statement was made by Mr. Spyros Kyprianou on 10 April 1979 at the school of Law and Economics of Salonica University where 14 years earlier on 11 May 1965 Archbishop Makarios had publicly reaffirmed that "Enosis is the Goal". 14 years later, Mr. Kyprianou at the same University publicly declared that Archbishop's address of 11 May 1965 "is as valid to-day as it was then". (Cyprus Mail, April 11, 1979).' It is pertinent, therefore, to quote Archbishop's address of 11 May 1965 in more detail inorder to understand the full implications of the message which Mr. Spyros Kyprianou has been passing to "the world of Hellenes". Here are relevant extracts from Archbishop's address of 19S5 which, Mr.Kyprianou has underlined to be as valid to-day as it was then: "The steady aim and ultimate goal of the struggle of the Cypriot people is the union of Cyprus to the Greek motherland... No power whatsoever can divert us from the way leading to Enosis... We shall struggle on until the dream of Enosis becomes a reality... The heart of the nation beats now in Cyprus. It is there that the Greek race is conducting its new struggles. It is there that the shrine for new sacrifices has been erected. There, is written the new national epic." - .-rft.-i.j-*!. :?-' J-..J--i->' :*~.t —»f „...-,- --a ..'.•=•,...; f\,'.. ^ --.';- • ".. ... ; „_.,-. T u i v ; '™Z£^%^*-:'z&£ixi-'•' ^y'^'^ ^'^^'^ ^^'f '^\'^~ ^^^.^^'^:<^^^& :-*^ ?,^^f"•>"••/ ::1 - 3 - And from 1963 to 1974 Archbishop Makarios with the help of people like Mr. Kyprianou conducted "the new struggles of the Greek race" inorder to achieve Enosis by destroying the bi-national character of the Republic of Cyprus!. Mr. Kyprianou, 14 years later, has publicly declared that struggle "of the Greek race for Enosis" continues to be as valid to-day as it was in 1965. I have no reason at all for doubting that this happens to be the sincere belief and conviction of Mr. Kyprianou, who on 21 June 1966, when he was the Foreign Minister of the Greek Cypriot Administration had publicly declared that the status of independence could be all the better utilized for achieving union of Cyprus with Greece and, I quote: "The second important question which I have considered expedient to refer to, is the status of Cyprus state. The strange view is at times expressed that, since Enosis is the • objective, maintenance and strengthening of the existence of the Cyprus state within an entity and a policy of its own is a handicap and that, Enosis would be facilitated if the Cyprus State were to lose its status." He then elaborated and said: "I do not think there is a need for many arguments or for a detailed analysis for one to prove and convince that by strengthening the status of the Cyprus State both at home and abroad, the national goal of Enosis is promoted: Your Excellency, I have no doubt whatsoever that outcries of this sort, at this most delicate phase of the Cyprus ques- tion, cannot be regarded as anything other than an attempt to nurture the discord between the two communities and, they certainly aim at sabotaging the efforts to bring the two sides to the negotiating table. I should be grateful if this letter were circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under the item entitled "Question of Cyprus," and of the Security Council. n^ Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

(A/34/120-S/13170) addressed to Your Excellency by Mr. Andreas Mavrommatis, the so-called "Perma- nent Representative of Cyprus to the United Nations" regarding violations . of the airspace of the Republic of Cyprus by Turkey. I I The following is the text of the statement issued by the j Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Defence and Tourism of the Turkish Fede- rated State of Cyprus about the military exercises of the Turkish- Peace Force in North Cyprus: i | ! "Military exercises which are now taking place in i the territory of the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus ' are the routine exercises of the Turkish Peace Force and are carried out in accordance v/ith a scheduled prog- ramme, about which prior notification is always provided > to the UNFICYP authorities in Cyprus. "The devious Greek Cypriot allegation that the Turkish j air force is, for the first time, taking part in such j exercises, is a lie and does not portray the truth. Such '•• exercises have been taking place, with the consent of the appropriate authorities of the Turkish Federated State of ; Cyprus, ever since the coming, in compliance with inter- national treaties, in 1974 of the Turkish Peace Force to the rescue of the Turkish Cypriots who were in imminent danger of total annihilation by the Greek and Greek Cypriot forces, who had conspired to unite the island with Greece. H.E. Dr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary - General of the United Nations NEW YORK -2- "By sending protest notes to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Rolandis thinks that he can still run his writ over the territory of the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus. He should rather awaken him- self to the reality that they are no longer the masters of the whole of Cyprus and instead, come to terms with the existing reality that the island of Cyprus belongs both to Turkish and Greek Cypriot Communities. "Indulging in propaganda warfare, especially at a time when efforts are being made to bring the two sides to the negotiating table, clearly demonstrates the ill- intentions of the Greek Cypriot side which is trying to find excuses in order to avoid the intercommunal talks."

Dr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary - General of the United Nations NEW YORK TURKISH FEDERATED STATE OF CYPRUS PRESIDENT'S OFFICE (Lefkoga, Mersin 10 - TURKEY) 29 January 1979 Your Excellency, 1 have the honour to refer to the speech by Kr. Spiros Kyprianou, the leader of the Greek Cypriot Community, which was made on 19 January 1979 to a crowd of Greek Cypriots gathered at Eleftheria Square in the Greek Sector of Nicosia on the occasion of the late Archbishop Makarios1 name day. Addressing the crowd before setting out at the head of the so-called "walk of love" in memory of the late Archbishop, Mr. Kyprianou is reported to have spoken of a "truly happy Cyprus' which Makarios "had managed to create between the day of indepen- dence and the coup," which, in his words, "preceded the invasion". I wish to place on record in the most emphatic terms the Turkish Cypriot Community's utter indignation at this insulting, chauvinistic and provocative statement of Mr. Kyprianou, which disregards completely and deliberately even the existence of the Turkish Community in Cyprus, let alone its equal partnership rights in the Republic.! Even the remotely initiated person with the Cyprus problem should be aware by now that the years to which Mr. Kyprianou refers in his speech, correspond, in the long history of the problem, to a time when Turkish Cypriot rights were being usurped, violated and disregarded in a most flacrant manner, and Turkish Cypriots wers suffering infernal punishment at the hands of the Greek Cypriots for having resisted Enosis. Starting with the Greek onslaught on the Turkish Community in December 1963, 103 Turkish villages were completely or partiall destroyed all over Cyprus, and about 30,000 Turkish Cypriats were His Excellency Dr. Hurt Waldheim Secretary-Goneral United Nations Organisation Net; York. — 2 — made refugees. These people had to lead s refugee Ufa in the ensuing eleven years until 1974 (c.f. the then U.N. Secretary General's reports S/57S4 of 15 June 1954. para. 93; 5/5950 of 10 September 1954. para. 190; S/5102 of 12 December 1954, para. 51; S/7001 of 10 December 1965, paras. 151 and Ic2; 5/823G of 3 December 1957. para. 126 and add. 2, para. 4; S/10S42 of December 1972, para. 43; S/10940 of 1973, para. '57). 212 Turkish Cypriots were abducted from the roads, from thsir work places and even from the hospitals by the Greek Cypriot so-called "security forces," never to be seen or heard from again. The then U.N. Secretary General's reports to the Security Council (S/S223 of 11 March 1965, para. 117 and 3/7350 of 10 June 1955, para. 76) indicate that 212 Turkish Cypriots were missin.c during that period. The fate of these people is still unknown today- In the village of Ayios Vassilios the murder of Turks had taken the form of a mass-massacre in which 13 Turkish Cypriots. including women, children and elderly people, were indiscrimi- nately killed and buried in a mass-grave, as also evidenced by the foreign press (i.e. press report in the Daily Telegraph of 14 January 19G4). In the Cmorphita suburb of Nicosia, some 900 Turkish Cypricts were taken hostage on the Christmas of 1953 and were used as a live "wall of defence" in attacking Kumsal, another suburb of Nicosia occupied by Turkish Cypriots. The area was plundered and the residents were wantonly murdered. A reporter of "Le Figaro" wrote the following on 23 January 1054, regarding the onslaught on the Kunsal suburb: "I have seen in a bathtub the bodies of a mother and of her three young children murdered just because their father was a Turkish officer..." • All constitutional rights of the Turkish Cypricts wer= usurped by force of arms and the constitutional court itself was abolished. Tur^s were declared "rebels," thus giving the "richt" to every armed Greek Cypriot to hunt then down. Wit!-.in a :,,onth of the onslaught of the 21st December 1953, hundreds of Turkish Cypricts were killed, wounded or maimed. Turkish areas of the island were kept undor siege with a view to st.irvina c;- residents to death GO that they could no longer oppose t;u politic-! will of the Ir.-i -•!! .-ries". -e^'-V^S.^O^'Vr.Ji',:'";''--""-'"•?"'•<••'.''--1 -;.T"' :??;i;i-!^:^f^jfe::* ^v-f^^^ij'r-\-i.-^f^ :-J. v~ •'-'.'-, , -~>*--i?-.. ..i-*^i These assaults continued intermittently until 19';c against the Turkish Cy.jriot "enclaves" scattered arcu-nc tiis island, despite the presence of a 7,000 strong U.N. L-eace Keeping Force in Cyprus. In tne 1937 attack against the Turkish villages o; Kophinou and Ayios Theodores, for instance, 25 Turks were kill -a' within a matter of 5-3 hours. Administratively, Turkish Cypricts, the legitimate anc constitutional co-founder partners of .the Republic of Cyprus, were expelled from the machinery of the bi-cor.munal C-cvern.nent: simultaneously with the commencement of the ar:r.2d attacks in 13C-3. Henceforth, all rights in the political, social, economic, and religious spheres, were denied to the Turkish Cypriots. 2ven the annual allocation in the Republic' 3 budget for the education of Turkish Cypriot children was witheld alongside all the ether budgetary dues of the Turkish Cypriots. Schools, mosq'jos and holy places were plundered and destroyed in respect of 103 villages. This is the true picture of the "happy Cyprus" batv.-jan 1953-1974, which Mr. Kyprianou is vainly attempting to paint! While this grim state of affairs was continuing, th.3 Greek ^^ Cypriot leaders, including Mr. Kyprianou, were declaring openly that the aim was Snosis , in a Machiavellian belief that the end 1 justified the rr.eans. A rev; examples illustrating the Enosis ai" of the Greek Cypriot leaders would new be pertinent: "We declare once again that the Parthenon is the final goal of cur struggle and we snail reach coal irrespective of the obstacles we may encounter." (Extract from a speech by Archbishoc F-1ak,irios at Yeroskibos villace on 6 March 1954.) "The Greek Cypriots and the entire Grenk nation are struggling so that this great island of Cyprus will be united with Greece. Long live the Nation, long live the King, lonn live the Army, long live. Snoois . " (Extract from Archbishop Haksrio- ' address to arriving Greek mainl.-.ad troops on 9 April 1965.) "The struggle of Cyprus is the struggle of Hellenism 33 a whole. Another prerequisite for the success of the struggle is complete unity between Greece and Cyprus." (Extract from a speech by i-ir. Spiros Kyprianou on the anniversary of Greek independence day on 24 March 1971.) It is apparent that i-ir. Kyprianou, in his reference to tha fictitious "happy years" in Cyprus, equates the happiness of the Greek Cypriot Community with the happiness of th? whole of Cyprus, in total disregard of the existence of the Turkish Corrmunity in the Island and the gross violation of its rights by the Greek Cypriots in the manner described above. I need hardly repeat here that this attitude is the epitorr.y of chauvinism and selfishness, and that this distortion of realities in an utter insult to intelligence. fir. Kyprianou can only be so unchristian as to dis.v.iss the agony of his Turkish Cyprict neighbours between 1963-1974! He can only have so little conscience as to see nothing wrong in building the happiness of his own community on the suffering of V'^^ others! And he can only have so little wisdom as not to realise that this is why their artificial and immoral happiness finally collapsed! I wish to point out to Mr. Kyprianou that his distorts reference to the past and his obvious desire to revive it are neither realistic nor compatible with good will in the search for a peaceful solution to the Cyprus problem. I therefore call uoon him to abandon his present hostile, unrealistic and intr-irisi.'ont attitude and return to reason, so that Cyprus can acquire true and universal happiness, Turk and Greek alike.

NEW YORK 1OO17 22 January 1979 Your Excellency, On instructions from my Government, I have the honour to draw Your Excellency's attention to the latest campaign of slanderous attacks and malicious propaganda by the Greek Cypriot leadership against the Turkish Cypriots. The TV programs of the Greek Cypriot Administration under the direction of Mr. Triandafillides are constantly full of insults and degrading remarks about the Turkish Cypriot Community and Turkey. The program carried on Wednesday evening (lo January 1979) consti- tuted a flagrant display of Greek Cypriot chauvinism and bad faith. As it is known Mr. Triandaf illides is not an ordinary Greek. Cypriot and the timing of his disgusting program is very significant. He is the so-called Chief Justice of the Greek Cypriot community and is one of the advisers to the Greek Cypriot interlocutor at the intercommunal talks. Therefore, the programs he prepares reflects the official Greek Cypriot views and position, and what is more, the content and timing of the shamefull program conducted by Mr. Triandafillides is significant. Because, within 24 hours of the delivery of the Turkish Cypriot reply to Your Excellency and less than 12 hours after the delivery of the Greek Cypriot reply, participants on Mr. Triandafillides' program declared: "It is the duty of the Greek Cypriot church to continue the Cyprus struggle until the island is totally Hellenised and the Greek flag flies all over Cyprus. The church must use all its means and indeed sell its last candle stick and if need be the clergy must sell their cloaks to buy arms to conduct the struggle." Therefore, as it is seen Mr, Triandafillides acts as the judge, jury and the defendant.

GHALANOS CHAIRMAN OF THE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE OF THE CYPRUS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES It is with considerable regret that we have to state that Turkey is not taking a positive stand over the initia- tive taken by Dr. Waldheim for the resumption of the inter- communal talks in Cyprus following the recent resolution of U.N. General Assembly and Security Council. The Greek Cypriot side has accepted the Secretary General's suggestion for the resumption of the talks. Unfortunately the Turkish side is setting preconditions that make the resumption of the talks impossible. We hope that there is still time and that this intransigence will be abandoned and a positive attitude adopted so that we can take the first steps to the creation of a common future for all our people independently of language or ethnic origin, the experiences of the last five years must have convinced every- one that any form of partition of Cyprus will have tragic consequences for all its people and the region. We appeal to the Western nations who have repeatedly expressed their concern for the continuation of the tragedy in Cyprus and are urging the resumption of the intercommunal talks to use all their influence so that Turkey responds positively to Dr. Waldheim's initiatives to end the tragedy in the European country of Cyprus who is a full member of the Council of Eurooe. •ZCZC .DAL 3 0^8.^.

CONFIDENTIAL Note on conversation between tht Permanent Representative of Turkey and George/ &. Sherry on 19 January 1979 at 11 a.m. Ambassador Eralp, speaking on instructions, wished to convey to the Secretary-General his Government's concern over the publi- cation in the Greek-Cypriot press of certain documents relating to the current consultations about the Cyprus intercommunal talks. When the revised version of the Secretary-General's working draft is handed to the parties, all concerned should undertake to keep it secret and not to publish any reactions to it until a version acceptable to both sides had been worked out. As to content, the Turkish Government considered that the revised working draft should reflect the basic points in Mr. Denktash's suggestions. In particular, all the items of the proposed agenda should be items for negotiation, and the wording should not prejudge the issues to be negotiated. Mr. Sherry said that the Secretary-General had insisted on maintaining confidentiality and had refused to publish the working draft. The passage on Varosha in that draft reflected Denktash's "open message" of 2O July 1978, and Prime Minister Ecevit had recently undertaken not to go back on that. Mr. Eralp said that there was a misunderstanding about Mr. Denktash's message, which his Government was now trying to clear up with the United States. The word "simultaneously" in the second paragraph of Denktash's proposals really meant that Varosha would be a gesture, as part of a first step which also must include gestures by the other side - namely, the lifting of the economic blockade and the cessation of political warfare. If the talks were to have a chance for success, there must be an armistice in hostile acts. Mr. Sherry recalled that Denktash's offer was explicit on this point, as it provided for the establishment of the Varosha interim administration under United Nations auspices "simultaneously with the resumption of the intercommunal talks", and for resettle- ment to proceed "as soon as feasible with the resumption" of those talks. Any attempt to modify this sequence would inevitably affect the chances of resuming the talks. On the other hand, there should be measures for reducing tension in the economic and political fields, and this aspect of Denktash's suggestions was being taken into account. Mr. Eralp expressed the fear that the Greek Cypriots wanted only to resettle Varosha and might thereupon stall the negotiations. -2- Mr. Sherry pointed out that there were strong pressures within the Greek Cypriot community against any settlement that would benefit the inhabitants of Varosha at the expense of others. In fact, some Greek Cypriots feared that once Varosha had been resettled, the Turkish side might take the position that this was the solution of the territorial aspect as a whole. It was important for both sides to negotiate in good faith. Distr.

Denktas, to the Greek Cypriot leadership, repeating his invitation to resume the intercommunal talks and proposing an interim administration for Maras (Varosha) under the aegis of the United Nations to enable the resettlement of 35,000 Greek Cypriots. I shall be grateful if this message is circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under item 28 of the preliminary list, and of the Security Council. (Signed) Nail ATALAY Representative A/33/187 S/12782 English Annex Page 2 APPENDIX Open message dated 20 July 1978 to the Greek Cypriot leadership by the Turkish Cypriot leader, Mr. Rauf R. Denktas This morning the President of the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus, His Excellency Mr. Rauf R. Denktas, at a press conference repeated his invitation to the Greek Cypriot side to resume the intercommunal talks and made public the following I;open message" in proof of the earnestness of the Turkish Cypriot side: "Over the past month the Turkish Cypriot community, which it is my honour to represent, has been sincerely trying to reopen the intercommunal dialogue under the aegis of Secretary-General Waldheim so that ve might move together to resolve the problems of our island. It was in this spirit that we made our proposals in April and elaborated upon them in May. It has been a cause for profound regret that the Greek Cypriot leadership have not co-operated in reopening the dialogue. "In a spirit of reconciliation and as a gesture which might help overcome any mistrust, I am sending you this public message and proposing that you accept our offer to resume negotiations on all the problems dividing us. "As an earnest proof of our good faith, I wish to make a proposal concerning Varosha. This idea is based, in part, on Secretary-General Waldheim's recent report, in which he observed that 'the time may be ripe for a concrete attempt to deal with some important aspects of the existing stalemate on the ground, thus creating an opening for further significant steps ... The status of Varosha, which obviously should not be kept in its present empty and decaying condition, may provide an opportunity of this kind. Since Varosha is situated in the immediate vicinity of the buffer zone and is patrolled by UWFICYP troops, it would seem natural to envisage United Nations assistance in this connexion' (S/12723, para. 78). "We indicated previously that Greek Cypriot inhabitants of Varosha would be able to begin returning to their homes and properties in the area, as soon as the intercommunal talks are reconvened. TIe have specified that as many as 35,000 Greek Cypriots can thus be resettled co"imencin~ shortly after the :-: yamption of the intercommunal negotiations. For our part; all we require is that, in defining the area of resettlement., the legitimate security concerns of our community be taken into account. Tfe wish to reaffirm our earlier assurances that the future political status of Varosha is. fully open to negotiation. "With the above in mind, I want to make the following proposals to you: I am prepared to discuss, in order to dispel any unfounded doubts about our desire to facilitate a final solution to the Cyprus A/33/187 S/12782 English Annex Page 3 issue, an interim administration to be promptly set up in Varosha without any prejudice to the existing or to the final political status of the area. We may enter into discussions promptly to plan for the development of the interim administration's structure which may be established under the aegis of the United Nations simultaneously with the resumption of the intercommunal talks on the basis of my agreement of 12 February 1977 with Makarios. The interim administration's organs and. functions would, include the supervision of essential municipal services and the exercise of normal police functions. The resettlement of Varosha shall proceed by stages3 commencing as soon as feasible with the resumption of the intercommunal negotiations. The United Nations would provide such technical assistance as may be necessary to survey and rehabilitate the city's infrastructure and buildings and to facilitate the process of resettlement. "I hope you will accept this offer in a spirit of reconciliation." e MNNN ZCZC DAL 1733 NBL2S72 NIC0121 SS NYK .NICOSIA CUNFICYP) 121 101153 UHFICYP 0052. IMMEDIATE. TO URQUHART FROM GALINDO-POHL.

(Signed) Orhan ERALP Ambassador Permanent Representative 79-007^5 A/3U/57 S/13912 English Page 2 ANNEX Letter dated 8 January 1979 from Mr. Nail Atalay to the Secretary-General I have the honour to refer to a communication dated 29 December 1978 addressed to you by Mr. Zenon Rossides, the so-called "Permanent Representative of Cyprus to the United Nations", which was circulated as a United Nations document (A/3^/51- 8/12987) on 3 January 1979. I should like to state most emphatically that the allegations contained in the above communication regarding the establishment of a new political party in the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus by Mr. Ismail Tezer, a retired colonel and a Turkish national, are utterly false and malicious. The Turkish Federated State authorities have never given consent to the establishment of such a party in the north, and hence the said "party" is completely illegal. In fact, as soon as news came out that the establishment of this alleged party was being announced, the Turkish Federated State authorities took prompt action and started legal prosecution against the said individual. It goes without saying that the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus does not in the least approve of this affair and will bring those responsible for it before the courts of justice. Meanwhile, I should like to reiterate the Turkish Cypriot community's indignation at the attempt of Mr. Rossides to exploit this matter by distorting the facts and blowing it out of proportion in order to cause embarrassment for Turkey and the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus. There is no doubt that this • • attitude is not compatible with goodwill and does not enhance prospects for the resumption of the intercommunal talks.
