This is about a section in the near mystical Report of the Secretary General on UN Operations in CY in the Spring of 1965 published on 10 June 1965.. ref'd at the UN as S/6426.

Mystical cos it's proved very hard over the years to track down the original at the UN.

So that for a long time the only ref to it was in a report submitted to the Human Rights section of Council of Europe by the Republic in 1999. Naturally given it came through the Republic, this source and the document weren't seen to be reliable.

This appears here... http://www.humanrights.coe.int/Minoriti ... prus/B.htm

... and from there, this is a controversial section...

9. The Secretary-General of the United Nations in 1965, described the policy of the Turkish Cypriot leaders in this way: "The Turkish Cypriot leaders have adhered to a rigid stand against any measures which might involve having members of the two communities live and work together, or which might place Turkish Cypriots in situations where they would have to acknowledge the authority of Government agents. Indeed, since the Turkish Cypriot leadership is committed to physical and geographical separation of the communities as a political goal, it is not likely to encourage activities by Turkish Cypriots which may be interpreted as demonstrating the merits of an alternative policy. The result has been a seemingly deliberate policy of self-segregation by the Turkish Cypriots" (Report S/6426 10.6.65).

Which tells us that in the view of the UN Secretary General of the time, U Thant, that there was a policy of Self-Segregation by the TMT/Volkan/Turkish Leadership.

... but without an original source, the para's value is limited.

The original source document (and it's a huge document, with an awful lot of other info that tells us a good deal about this troubled time, so well worth a look at the whole lot) contains this section, section 106. Here is a screenshot...

Word for word (apart from the first line which is given in French and translates as "The Turkish Cypriot leadership has adopted..." , it's the same as submitted by the Republic to the Council of Europe in 1999. The Republic's version reported to the CoE is therefore vindicated.

For those who wish to see the original, there isn't a straightforward link to it. A search of the UN Documents Centre is required...

So put the search term >> S/6426 << into the search box at this UN Link >>> http://www.un.org/en/documents/ods/ (The English version appears 4 down)

Thank you bill ..... another informative post thank you.

I have to admit that sometimes I feel let down by the UN and the International Community around the Cypro. Sometimes I think we have lost our Country to the Turks because of a very un-intligent minority community.

Then when I read documents such as these, it reminds me that the International Community has not recognised the "trnc" because they perhaps view the situation as silly and unrealistic. As they stand to set a preecedent by allowing minority groups affiliated w/ Army regimes to invade the Sovereignty of another Country, any Country.

Who knows, its friday arvo and philosophising a bit.

Bill, excellent, but really mate, when the organs that have produced these documents choose to ignore them, then the only use they have is to wipe ones arse after a good shit. This sums up the UN behaviour, ability, integrity, a pile of shit seriously. They even violate their own charted for gods sake and they have the audacity to pretent to be doing something. What a waste of money.

I think the RoC should be screaming at them and reminding them about the resolution they passed, you know especially, but not limited to, the ones our friend GR reminds us of. Only then can anyone take them seriously.

Humanist, you are right to feel let down, the UN are good for nothing, they are just a licence producing agency for the US when they want to bomb another country.

UN = Uesless Nincompoops.

This is the first para of a letter from the late CY Dr Ihsan Ali to another late CY, Big Mak, on 08.02.1965, in which the good Doctor condemns the actions in the exclaves of the TMT/Volkan/Turkish Terrorists.

Your Beatitude,
I have to address myself to you in view of the miserable situation in which the Turkish community has found itself on account of the attitude of the Turkish Cyp­riot leadership. I am certain that as the leader of the State you will attach due importance to the question of remedying the deplorable situation of my compatriots and you will try to take the necessary measures to save them from the Turkish Cyp­riot terrorists.

Little does the UN know the dangers of the times imposed by the GCs in the TCs, the missing persons of them times proves my point.

[bill cobbett]

Well according to Dr Ali... you should take that up with two TMT/Volkan characters Altay and Fella.

A bit more from the letter to Big Mak from the good doctor...

According to information given to me every day by fellow Turks in my district, thousands of them are tortured by a very small number of terrorists. I reported this sad reality to General Thimayya himself and gave him the names of two arch-terrorists, who subject their fellow countrymen to fierce tor­tures. These are Aziz Altay and Essat Fella, and my compatriots tremble at the mere mention of their names.

The only justice I want is this one:

I think this topic answers the question in a recent thread about TMT killing Kibrilisi....

What is your point, not that your above post makes any sense at all!
