TEXT OF LETTER JPO SBCRETARY-GEKERAL FROM UNITED STATES

ON COST OF PEACE-KEEPING- FORGE IN CYPRUS

.Following is the text of a letter dated 15 December to Secretary-General Kurt ¥aldhein from the Permanent Representative of the United Statesto the United Nations, regarding the expenses of the United Nations Peace-Keeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP):

"The Representative of the United States of America to the United Nationspresents his compliments to the Secretary-General of the United Nations andhas the honor to inform him that the United States is prepared to contributeup to $2 A million toward the cost of maintaining the United Nations forcein Cyprus for the period June l6, 1972 to December 15, 1972. This pledgeis based upon the Secretary General's estimates of the cost of the Cyprusoperation during this period, contained in document S/108 2.

"The amount ultimately contributed by the United States against thispledge shall depend upon confirmation of the Secretary General's costestimates and on an adequate level of contributions made by other Governmentstoward the costs of the operation. The United States reserves the right tomake such adjustments in the level of its payments against this pledge as itmay deem appropriate. .

"Including this pledge of $2,it- million,, the cumulative total of UnitedStates pledges for support of the United Nations force in Cyprus is $6l,7million,

"The United States expresses its thanks to the Secretary S-eneral for thespecial effort he has made to place UNFICYP on a. sound current financialbasis. We regret that the deficit continues to mount. We believe that con-certed efforts will have to be made to bring UNFICYP's expenditures into linewith its anticipated Income."

RESOLUTION 32*1 (1972)

Adopted by the Security Council at its l683rd meetingon 12 December 1972

The Security Council,

Noting from the report of the Secretary-General of 1 December 1972 (S/108*t2)that in the present circumstances the United Nations Peace-keeping Force inCyprus is still needed if peace is to be maintained in the island,

Noting that the Government of Cyprus has agreed that in view of the prevailingconditions in the island it is necessary to continue the Force beyond15 December 1972,

Noting also from the report the conditions prevailing in the island,

1. Reaffirms its resolutions 186 (196*1) of h March, 187 (196*0 of 13 March,192 (19610 of 20 June, 193 (196*1) of 9 August, 19*1 (196*1) of 25 September and198 (196*1) of 18 December 196*1, 201 (1965) of 19 March, 206 (1965) of 15 June,207 (1965) of 10 August and 219 (1965) of 17 December 1965, 220 (1966) of16 March, 222 (1966) of 16 June and 231 (1966) of 15 December 1966, 238 (1967)of 19 June and 2*i*i (1967) of 22 December 1967, 2*i7 (1968) of 18 March, 25*1 (1968)of 18 June and 26l (1968) of 10 December 1968, 266 (1969) of 10 June and 27*1 (1969)of 11 December 1969, 28l (1970) of 9 June and 291 (1970) of 10 December 1970,293 (1971) of 26 May and 305 (1971) of 13 December 1971 and 315 (1972) of15 June 1972, and the consensus expressed by. the President at the 11*13rd meetingon 11 August 196*1 and at the 1383rd meeting on 25 November 1967;

•

2. Urges the parties concerned to act with the utmost restraint and tocontinue and accelerate determined co-operative efforts to achieve the objectivesof the Security Council by availing themselves in a constructive manner of thepresent auspicious climate and opportunities;

3. Extends once more the stationing in Cyprus of the United NationsPeace-keeping Force, established under Security Council resolution 186 (196*1),for a further period ending 15 June 1973, in the expectation that by thensufficient progress towards a final solution will make possible a withdrawal orsubstantial reduction of the Force.

72-25789

$Motes for the Secj^ggry-General's meetirig^wfth countries

providing contingents to UMFICYJP/(6 December 19727 if

1. The purpose of this meeting, in accordance with the usual practice,

is to ascertain the willingness of Governments providing military contingents

and police units for UNFICYP to continue to do so if the Security Council

extends the stationing of the Force for another period. As you know, I

have recommended in my report to the Council (S/108 -2, para. 8l) that the

mandate "be extended for another six months .

2. As stated in my report, the most important development during this

period has "been the reactivation of the intercommunal talks, whose inaugural

meeting in Nicosia I attended on 8 June last. The talks have since gone

through four rounds - the last meeting of the foiarth round "being scheduled

for 8 December.

3. Although I am not in a position to go into the substance of the

talks, in view of the legitimate desire of the interlocutors to maintain

secrecy, I can report that, the talks in their new form have proved

constructive and effective. The impasse which paralyzed the talks until

last June appears to have been overcome. This has been due, in very

considerable measure, to the contribution of my Special Representative,

Mr. Osorio-Tafall, who is taking part in the talks in the exercise of

my good offices. I expect Mr. Osorio-Tafall to come to New York immediately

after the fourth round of the intercommunal talks has been completed, in

time for next week's Security Council meeting.

U. Mr. Osorio-Tafall has reported to me that the talks are expected to

continue during the period coinciding with the electoral campaign in

Cyprus (l January - 15 February 1973)> but it would be surprising if

significant issues of substance were decided during this period. The two

interlocutors have indicated confidentially that after 15 February they

will make a strong effort to reach a "fair, reasonable, just and lasting

solution", and they expect to be in a position to judge by early June whether

this effort has been successful.

2.

5. The situation in the Island remains quiet tout tense. While the

number of inter communal shooting incidents has "been kept down, the

atmosphere has "been affected by certain adverse factors. Among these

I -would mention recent reports concerning the import of arms and ammunition

into the Island.

6. In the present circumstances, the peace-keeping function of the Force

is undiminished in importance, since it is vital to avoid any developments

which would jeopardize the success of the talks that are now going through

a crucial phase. I therefore hope that in the event of favourable action

by the Council on my recommendation for the extension of UNFICYP, your

Governments will continue to make contingents or police units available at

the present strength for the next six months. At the same time, I would draw

your attention to the observation in paragraph 8l of my report that in the

event of a change in the situation in the course of the forthcoming period,

I would not fail to make suitable recommendations to the Council.

T. Financial situation (call on the Acting Head of Financial Services).

Before leaving Paris for Tokyo, the Director-General asked me to thankyou on his behalf for your letter of 13 July 1972 and to convey his agreementwith your comments and suggestions.

I can assure you that the new functions to be given to Mr. Carlo Mussowill be in the nature of good offices and that the consent and co-operationof the ^Turkish Cypriot leadership will also be sought.

While the secondment of Mr. Musso to UNFICYP had been requested by thePsnaanent Delegate of Cyprus to Unesco on behalf of his Government, the 'Director-General shares your views in this respect. Therefore, Mr; CarloMusso "sfill act strictly in his capacity es a. Unesco expert.

The Director-General is, of course, grateful to the Secretary-Generalfor asking his Special Representative in Cyprus and the Force Commander toextend, all possible assistance to our expert consistent with the mandate ofUNFICT?. So doubt this '-rill be most helpful to Mr. Musso in the dischargeof his enlarged duties.

I am informing Mr. J'fusso of his new terms of reference.

Subject : Correspondence addressed to the Secretary-General

As you are aware, a large number of telegrams and some letterswere addressed to the Secretary-General during his recent visit toCyprus.

There were about 300 telegrams, almost all of which called for"self-determination" and which it may be presumed were either sentby or inspired by the supporters of Dr, Vassiliades. One telegram,which was in English, sets out the demands of this group. A copy isattached for your information.

Of the letters, all those which contain return addresses havebeen given routine replies signed by the SRSG informing the writersthat the Secretary-General has read their letters with interest, andthat due note has been taken of their contents. A copy of theSecretary-General's statement to the Security Council on 15 June isenclosed for information.

There is, however, a letter from the Austrian Consul Generalwhich we are attaching, and which contains what appears to be personalopinions. The Secretary-General may wish to reply to this letter in adifferent manner.

H.E.Dr.Eurt Waldheim,U.N.General Secretary,Nicosia.

Dear Mr.General Secretary,

I am writing to you to welcome you to Cyprusand at the same time to apologize because I shall not beat the airport to greet you. I have to leave Cyprus onthe day before your arrival due to a previous commitmentto attend the Consular meeting in Vienna.

During your very short stay in Cyprus you willhave the opportunity to see and become convinced of thefact that Cyprus is a Greek Island, like all other Islands.Invasions, plundering and foreign domination for numerouscenturies have in no way changed the traditions andfeelings of this people. A visit to the very interestingCyprus Museum will convince you that our culture originatesfrom 6000 B.C. while the Turkish minority came to thisisland as invaders only four hundred years ago. And manyfrom this community are islamited Greeks as foreign neutralscientists have shown recently.

I spent my youth among the Turkish people of thisisland with feelings of friendship, cooperation and love,Turkey had never shown an interest for the minority inCyprus, and there was no "Cyprus problem" at all at thattime. The problem of Cyprus is an artificial one created byMr. McMillan in 1959 when the Cypriots refused to accept histerms and the Turkish Government adopted it for reasons ofinternal Turkish politics. This is stated clearly inMcMillan's memoirs and it is deeply regretable that nstatesman such as the President of the Turkish Republic nowmaintains that Cyprus is the only problem of Turkey!I

The Zurich, agreements, a failure in themselves,never succeeded in creating the "Cypriot" but rathercreated fanatical Greeks and fanatical Turks. There isonly one natural solution for the Cyprus problem, Hiemost practical and economical one, the right of self-determination, the union of Cyprus with Greece and nohuman power can prevent this coming about one day. Youknow better than anyone else that unfortunately todaythis non-existent problem is so complicated that thenatural solution becomes impossible immediately. Underthe circumstances this people of Cyprus will be gratefulto the United Hations and you for a solution which willgive the right to the majority to govern and to tieminority to be protected and to cooperate. This is thefate of all minorities which the Turkish must also accept,and I assure you that no Cypriot Government and noindividual Cypriot will be found to sign an agreementwhich creates a state within the state or separationcontrary to the principles of the Charta and the resolutionsof the Security Council of the United Nations.

Please accept Mr.Genral Secretary the assurancesof my high esteem.

Yours sincerely,

Dr.G.N.Marangos, O.B.I.,Austrian Consul General.

PERMANENT MISSION OF THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS

TO THE UNITED NATIONS

B20 SECOND AVENUE

NEW YORK. N. Y. 1OO17

Ref: 72/71, 82/71 4 May 1972

Excellency,

I have the honour, upon instructions from-myGovernmentito bring to Your Excellency's notice the textof a letter dated 2 May 1972 addressed by the Director-General, Ministry of Interior and Defence Mr. A. Anastasiou,to the Legal and Political Adviser of UNFICYP, Mr. Miles, onthe subject of the illegal exit from Cyprus by"~Mr. Unal, aTurkish Cypriot, during the last rotation of the Turkishcontingent and his attempt to re-enter Cyprus by forgingthe official seal of the passport of the Republic.

The text of the letter is as follows:

"1. Would you please refer to the Turkish Cypriotleadership's complaint to you about Ahmed Unal ofYenagra, Famagusta district.

2. This Turkish Cypriot arrived at Famagusta onboard the ferry boat "Yeshilada" on the 24th April1972 from Turkey. He was travelling with Cypruspassport no. A.66330 issued to him on the 29thSeptember 1971. His passport had a date stamp whichshowed that he left from Nicosia Airport on the 1stOctober 1971.

3. On a more close examination of the passport,the date stamp appeared to the Passport ControlSection to be false and he was required to gothrough an examination. On hearing this he faintedand had to be removed to Famagusta hospital on theadvice of the Turkish medical officer of the ship.

4. When he recovered he was questioned by thepolice and stated that he left from Nicosia Airportfor Ankara with the Turkish Airline on the 1stOctober 1971 at 3 p.m., that at the time he produced

-2-

his passport which was checked, stamped and thathe filled in the usual departure card.

5. His statement proved to be false because:-

(A) On the 1st October 1971 only one Turkishaeroplane belonging to the TurkishAirline left Nicosia airport at 6:45 p.m.and not 3 p.m. for Adana and not forAnkara.

(B) Mr. Ahmed Unal is not included in thepassengers manifest of the aeroplane.

(C) All departure cards of all the passengersof the plane for that flight and for thatdate compare fully with the passengersmanifest, except for Mr. Ahmed Unal inrespect of whom there is no departure card.

(D) The date stamp for departure used by thePolice Control on the 1st October 1971 isnot identical to the one appearing onMr. Unal's passport. It is evident thatthe dated stamp on Mr. Unal's passport isfalse.

6. Pending completion of the police enquiries nocharges have as yet been preferred against Mr. AhmedUnalf who is still under custody.

7. The truth in this case is that Mr. Ahmed Unalleft for Turkey on the 29th September 1971 disguisedas a Turkish officer. He spent six months in Turkeyfor military training and came back using a falsedate stamp, in the hope that he would escape scrutiny.This practice has been- going on on each rotation ofthe Turkish contingent. For every Turkish Cypriotgoing away with the Turkish contingent a Turkishofficer from the mainland remains behind. In thepast we were unable to substantiate this practiceand all our protests to you in this connection weremade unofficially because they could be proved.

There is also the question of the Turkishleadership's intention (which appeared in the pressrecently) that they have decided to control theentry and exit of Turkish Cypriots from the Turkishenclaves. This practice has now been put into effectand all Turkish Cypriots coming out of or going into

-3-

Turkish enclaves in motor vehicles are checked witha view to finding out whether they intend to travelabroad or have come back from abroad. All this isconnected with the Turkish leadership's intentionof providing or withholding travel facilities onfalse passports which will enable Turkish Cypriotsto by-pass the Government's authority over travellingabroad.

8. The whole matter is of extreme importance- itis one more proof of the Turkish Government's andthe Turkish Cypriot leadership's illegal practices-and we have no doubt you will wish to treat it inthe way it deserves."

I wish to protest very strongly this unacceptableand illegal abuse in connection with the rotation of theTurkish contingent. This case furnishes a clear illustrationof the abuse which has often in the past been suspectedbut whicht so fart could not be proved and I have everyconfidence that it will be considered as a very seriousma tter i ndeed.

Please accept, Excellency, the renewed assurancesof my highest consideration.

Ml querido Bibiano:

Mucho le agradezco sus dos cartas. La primera me did un granplacer porqus estimo que es Indispensable que ?d. encarrlle y con-duzca la primera etapa de las conversaciones intercomunales. Elque haya accedido a quedarsa por un tiempo suplementario constituyeuna garantla ma's para determinar una distension en la tan agitadaisla. Hadie como Vd, conoce el ambiente.

Para su informacion 1© dire que el Canciller belga visitara"Turquia en estos dias y le hemos pedido muy particularmente quetrate de influir sobre el gobierno de Ankara para que los turcosacepten la reiniciacion de las conversaciones.' Aqui estamosesperando la respuesta tanto de Atehas como de Ankara.

Con referenda al caso de Jean Back inmediatamente comenzare 'la gestion para obtener su prolongacidn. Su carta, evidentemente,proporciona un firms punto de apoyo, y personalmente tratare deapuntalarlo lo rn ts posible. Pianso tambien hablar con Gherab parainteriorizarlo de la situacion.

Dr. Liitgendorf - Kinister of Defence of Austria

Official letter referring the Austrian contingent in Cyprus.

The contingent question is now finalised but there are still

questions over equipment for the contingent. It would "be

cheaper to give the contingent Austrian equipment and ship it

by rail rather than use UN equipment shipping it by air mail.

However, this is presumably being worked out by the SG and

the Austrian Mission.

Reply: The 3G has been informed of Dr. Liitgendorf suggestions

regarding the equipment but has been informed that maintenance

would be a problem if Austrian equipment is used. However,

they will continue to work on this problem.

DER BUNDESMINISTERFUR LANDESVERTEIDIGUNG Wien, den 6. Marz 1972

Sehr geehrter Herr Generalsekretar!

In Entsprechung des Ersuchens an die'osterreichische Bundes-regierung., ein Bataillon fur die UN-Streitkrafte nach Cypernzu entsenden, hat eine Delegation in Nicosia liber Einzelheitender Durchfiihrung verhandelt.

Wahrend die rein militarischen Fragen, vor allem hinsichtlichdes Personals und des Einsatzes, weitgehend einvernehmlichgeregelt werden konnten, sind auf dem Gebiet der materiellenAusriistung und des Transportes eine Reihe von Fragen offengeblieben, die nach Ansicht des Kommandos UNFICYP nur vomGeneralsekretariat einer Losung zugefuhrt werden konnen. Dieosterreichische Vertretung bei den Vereinten Nationen wirddie hiezu erforderlichen Verhandlungen unverziiglich aufnehmen.

In diesem Zusammenhang darf ich die Bitte wiederholen, daraufhinzuwirken, dafl unser Wunsch nach weitgehend nationaler Aus-rtistung vor allem auch deswegen Berlicksichtigung findet, weildies nach unseren Berechnungen dem von Ihnen, Herr General-sekretar, mehrfach geaufierten Wunsch nach Kostenverminderungfiir die Vereinten Nationen Rechnung tragen wiirde.

\Im Bestreben,"~die vom Kommando UNFICYP mit Richtdatum15.4. erbetene Einsatzbereitschaft des osterreichischen Batail-lons nach Moglichkeit einzuhalten und andererseits diesemBataillon auch Qerat und Betriebsmaterial im erwiinschten Aus-mafi mitzugeben (welches ansonsten von den Vereinten Nationenaufzubringen ware), darf ich Sie, sehr geehrter Herr General-sekretar, ferner ersuchen, fiir die Verlegung der Masse desBataillons und seines Gerates Bahn- und Schiffstransport vor-sehen zu lassen. Ein Lufttransport wiirde ja nur die Mitnahmeeines auf keinen Fall ausreichenden Minimums an Ausriistung er-lauben und daher die Einsatzfahigkeit des Bataillons materiellund zeitlich in Frage stellen.

UKFICYP - Award of the United, TJa^lans j.iedals to the ^?3partins?Members of the Irish Contingent (UKFICYP Cable..Ho. 006).

:. 6 January 1972

1. ± refer to the cable dated 4 January 1972 from the Commanderof the United Nations Force in Cyprus to you in which he drew attentionto the fact that, owing to the 'timing of the partial withdrawal of theIrish Contingent from UTTFICYP, approximately 10^ men., who comprised thegroup scheduled for repatriation, would not be able to complete theirrespective periods of qualifying service with that Mission to becomeeligible to receive the United Nations medal, in accordance with theRegulations for the United Nations Medal. (Document ST/SGB/119/Rev.Idated lb February 1966.).

2. Based on the information received with the cable, althoughthese men's qualifying service would be, upon leaving Cyprus, short byh to 18 days, the Commander's view was that they "have performed theirexacting task in an excellent manner" and. that "their tour of duty withUNFICYP will now be shortened due to no fault of their own". He alsodrew attention to a parallel situation in 1966, when 1^0 men of theSwedish Contingent were awarded the UM Medals after they had beenrepatriated as a result of a reduction of that Contingent. Admittedly,the circumstances governing the reduction of these two national con-tingents were quite dissimilar, in that in the Swedish case it was theUnited 'Nations' decision, whareas, it was the Irish Government's ownin the present case. Nevertheless, I feel that in either situation,individual members should not be made to suffer from a decision overwhich they had no control.

3. Therefore, I fully concur in the Force Commander's recommenda-tion that the Secretary-General approve the award of the UN Medals tothe 10H- men of the Irish Contingent, under the provision of Part IV;Paragraph 3, of the relevant Regulations, and request the Secretary-General's approval accordingly.
