This report on the United Nations Operation in Cyprus covers developments from 8 June to 2 December 1968 and brings up to date the record of the activities of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) pursuant to the mandate laid down in Security Council resolution 1.86 (1964) of 1~March ~964 and I subsequent resolutions of the Council relating to Cyprus. 2. During the last six months, there have been many indications of a genuine desire, shared by all Cypriots, to maintain peaceful conditions and to contribute to a successful outcome of the current inter-cormuna.1 talks. I. THE UNITED NATIONS PEACE-KEEPING FORCE IN CYPRUS A. Gompos ition --and deployment 3. At the end of the period covered by my last report, the strength of the United Nations Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) was 4,454 military personnel and 175 civilian police (s/e622, para. 2). On 2 December 1968, the composition of the 'Force was as follows: M_ilitary Total Austria HQ UNFICYP 1. Field Hospital 2i 55 Canada HQ UNFICYP and military police 63 Battalion 466 Contingent HQ, 2 595 Cenmark HQ UNFICYP and military police 25 e Battalion 446 471 Finland HQ Wl!JJICYP and military police 18 Battalion @ 480 Ireland HQ UNFICYP and military police 13 Battalion --405 418 Sweden HQ UMFICYP and military police 14 Battalion --410 424- United Kingdom - HQ UNFICYP and military police 158 Battalion and Reconnaissance Squadron 728 UNFICYP logistic support units 164 Helicopter support -- 40 --1,090 Total military personnel 3,533 Civilianpolice -I Australia 50 Austria 45 Denmark 40 Sweden -40 Total civilian police TOTAL UNFICYP II_3,708 I .I. -5- 4. The following changes took place during the period of this report: --I_..-Rotations (a) Austria:-- A partial rotation of troops was carried out; the total strength of the contingent remained unchanged. (b) Canada: A rotation was carried out in which the 1st Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, X Battery, 3rd Regiment Canadian Horse Artillery and B Squadron of the Fort Garry Horse were replaced by the 3rd Battalion, the Royal 22e Regiment. The total strength of the contingent was reduced by 301 all ranks. (c) Denmark: A rotation was carried out in which the 9th Danish Battalion was relieved by the 10th Danish Battalion. The total strength of the contingent decreased by ~67 all ranks. (d) Tinland: A further partial rotation took place, reducing the total strength of the contingent by 99 men. The incoming troops form part of the 9th Finnish Battalion. A reduction of 29 all ranks had taken place earlier in the year (s/8622, para. 4 (d)). (e) Ireland: A rotation was carried out in which the 10th Infantry Group was relieved by the 11th Infantry Group. The total strength of the contingent was reduced by 106 all ranks. (f) --Sweden: A rotation was carried out in which the 4.1st Swedish Battalion replaced the 40th Swedish Battalion. The total strength of the contingent decreased by 194 all ranks. (g) United------ Kingdom: A partial rotation took place in which -the 1st Battalion, the Durham Light Infantry, was relieved by the 1st Battalion, the Royal Hampshire Regiment, and 8 Squadron Royal Corps of Transport by 42 Squadron RCT. The total strength of the contingent decreased by 74 all ranks. (A reduction of 91 all ranks had taken place earlier in the year (s/8622, para. 4 (g).) . 6 . / -6- 5. The Force is now deployed as follows (see attached map): HQUXFICYP, including--- HQ UNCIVPOL Combined staff --Nicosia West District Danish Contingent Danish Civilian Police Austrian Civilian Police Nicosia--- East District-- Finnish Contingent Austrian Civilian Police Famagusta Zone Swedish Contingent Swedish Civilian Police Limassol Zone- British Contingent Australian Civilian Police Lefka-I_ District Irish Contingent Australian Civilian Police Austrian Civilian Police A-Kyrenia District Canadian Contingent Danish Civilian Police Redeployment and reduction of the Force--- ? 6. The general lessening of tension all over the Island has allowed UNFICYP, by decreasing the number of its observation posts (OPs), modifying some of its dispositions and shifting some tasks from military units to civilian police (UNCIVPOL), to reduce its strength since 1April 1968 by about 25 per cent. The redeployment of the Force and the withdrawal of OPs was completed on 25 October 1968; fifty OPs were withdrawn, leaving eighty-five which continue to be manned. Some additional mobile and foot patrols have been introduced to carry out the tasks that were previously performed by the withdrawn OPs. The use of armoured cars to -7- accomPanY the Kyrenia Road convoys has been discontinued and the whole operation has been entrusted to UNCIVPOL. The reduction has not affected the efficiency of the Force in carrying out its mandate, 7* When informing the Government of Cyprus and the Turkish Cypriot leadership of these changes on 29 August 1968, the Force Commander asked them to take all necessary measures "to ensure that your security forces will not, under any circumstances, occupy unmanned UNFICYP posts and will not strengthen or otherwise modify, in any manner likely to increase tension, their own existing fortification works, patrol patterns or other methods of control or surveillance". This request has been complied with and at no time during the period of redeployment or since has either the National Guard or the Turkish Cypriot fighters acted in a way which might be construed as taking advantage of UNFICYP's reorganization. Previously, both the Turkish Cypriot leadership and the Turkish Government had expressed misgivings concerning the justification and the timeliness of the planned reduction. They were assured that it would not adversely affect the efficiency of the Force in carrying out its mandate. 8. The Force remains under the command of Lieutenant-Genera1A.E. Martola. My Special Representative in Cyprus continues to be Mr. B.F. Osorio-Tafall. B. --h-wFunction and guiding principles 94 The function of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus was defined by the Security Council in its resolution 1~26 (1964) of 4 March 1964 in the following terms: '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.". 10. 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; and 18 March and 18 June 1968. 11. The guiding principles governing the operation of the Force, as summarized in my report of 10 September 1964 (S/5950, para. 7)j remain in effect. The duties of the civilian police element of the Force (UNCIVPOL) are outlined in my report of 2 May 1964 (S/5679, para. 4). / .a. 12 . The Political Liaison Committee continues to meet regularly to deal with the problems of implementation of the mandate and questions involving relationships between the Cyprus Government and the Turkish Cypriot community. The LJNFICYP Deputy Chief of Staff, who acts as Chairman, the Senjor Political and Legal Adviser and his staff, the Police Adviser and the Force Economics Officer meet with Liaison Officers representing the Government and the Turkish Cypriot leadership separately. Between 7 June and 2 December 1968 the Committee held ten meetings with the Government Political Liaison Officer and ten with the Turkish Cypriot Political Liaison Officer. -1__-1Casualties 13 * During its current mandate, UNFICYP suffered no casualties in connexion with inter-communal incidents. However? two soldiers died and twenty-four were hospitalized as a result of accidents, and one officer died from natural causes. Discipline 14. The over-all discipline, understanding and bearing of the officers and men of the United Nations Force have continued to be of a high order, and reflect great credit on the Contingent Commanders, their staffs and the armed forces of the contributing countries.

  • Photographic Exhibition Organized by the Cyprus Municipalities Under Turkish Military Occupation
    PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION ORGANIZED BY THE CYPRUS MUNICIPALITIES UNDER TURKISH MILITARY OCCUPATION THE DESTRUCTION OF THE EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION OF CYPRUS BY TURKEY THE TRAGEDY GOES ON… “If we should hold our peace, the stones will cry out” (Luke 19: 40) THE DESTRUCTION OF THE EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION OF CYPRUS BY TURKEY THE TRAGEDY GOES ON… “If we should hold our peace, the stones will cry out” (Luke 19: 40) The photographic exhibition is organized by the nine occupied municipalities of Cyprus: Ammochostos, Kyrenia, Morphou, Lysi, Lapithos, Kythrea, Karavas, Lefkoniko, and Akanthou. The exhibition aims at sensitizing the broader public to the tragic consequences of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. An effort is made to trace, as much as possible, the pain caused by the war and the uprooting of tenths of thousands of people from their homes. At the core of the presentation lies the systematic destruction of cultural heritage in the island’s occupied areas, which persists to this day as a result of ethnic cleansing and religious fanaticism. As proof of the above, damages to archaeological sites, ecclesiastical monuments and all non-Muslim cemeteries, as well as thefts intended to offer antiquities for sale at a profit, are showcased here. In some cases, photographic evidence which has been brought to light for the first time is put forth. This exhibition is divided into thematic units which are separated from one another by their different colours. Each panel includes a title and a brief text, whilst being supplemented by pertinent ‘before and after 1974’ visual material. The first unit introduces the nine occupied municipalities, with a historical outline, their most significant monuments and their present state.

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

  • The Imbricated Structures of Refugeehood
    ONE THE IMBRICATED STRUCTURES OF REFUGEEHOOD DISPLACEMENTS It is summer 2003, a little after Turkish- Cypriot authorities announced they would no longer prevent people from crossing in and out of a self- declared state in northern Cyprus, across the island’s Green Line boundary. Masses have been flocking to checkpoints since that late April declaration, venturing into places they had not visited since the bloody period of the 1960s and the war of 1974. A restaurant in the old commercial center of northern Nicosia is preparing for the evening’s clientele. As we sit down, a friend joins our table for drinks. There is excitement over the opening of the border. We reminisce at how the last time we met some months ago we had to drive for an hour to meet outside Pyla village, in the east of the island, the only location reachable from both sides and closely watched. We keep repeating to ourselves and each other, through a myriad of examples, how just a couple of months ago, what we are doing tonight was unimaginable. There is a mood of playfulness even as we criticize societal structures that endure. There is still need for change, we agree, and walls of prejudice to be broken. The South Asian waiter serving us, we assume, is exemplary of the problems of discrimination and integration still existing. So we ask about his living conditions and, not surprisingly, hear they are not great. But he also expresses a different concern, since after his visa had expired, he crossed from the south to escape arrest and continue making a living in the north: “Every day I wake up and look across to the other side and remember the house where I used to live, and the place where I worked.
