3.   The members of the Council will recall that after the 26
February to 2 March 1990 meeting between the LEADERS OF THE TWO
COMMUNITIES in Cyprus and my predecessor did not result in
progress, the Council adopted resolution 649 (1990) of 12 March
1990.  After considering his report (S/21183), the Council made it
clear once again that the solution it foresaw was one based on the
existence of ONE STATE OF CYPRUS COMPRISING TWO COMMUNITIES; and
that the objective was a new constitution for the State of Cyprus
that would regulate the relations between the two communities in
Cyprus on a federal, bi-communal and bi-zonal basis.  The Council
reiterated that the Secretary-General's mission of good offices
was specifically with the two communities which participated on an
equal footing.  It requested the Secretary-General to pursue his
effort and to assist the two communities by making suggestions to
facilitate the discussions.  Both sides affirmed their full
commitment to resolution 649 (1990).

11.  In resolution 716 (1990), the Security Council noted with
satisfaction the progress made in preparing a set of ideas but
expressed its concern about the difficulties that had been
encountered in completing this work.  IT, INTER ALIA, REAFFIRMED
ITS PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS AND THAT ITS POSITION ON THE SOLUTION TO
THE CYPRUS PROBLEM WAS BASED ON ONE STATE OF CYPRUS COMPRISING TWO
POLITICALLY EQUAL COMMUNITIES.  In that connection, the Council
endorsed the following definition of political equality (S/21183,
annex I):

     "While political equality does not mean equal numerical
     participation in all federal Government branches and
     administration, it should be reflected inter alia in various
     ways:  in the requirement that the federal constitution of
     the State of Cyprus be approved or amended with the
     concurrence of both communities; in the effective
     participation of both communities in all organs and decisions
     of the federal Government; in safeguards to ensure that the
     federal Government will not be empowered to adopt any
     measures against the interests of one community; and in the
     equality and identical powers and functions of the two
     federated states."

14.  On 20 and 21 January 1992, I met with *PRESIDENT* Vassiliou and
*H.E.* Mr. Denktas respectively to review the Cyprus question.  I
stressed the importance of maintaining the momentum that had been
achieved in 1991 and reiterated the need to proceed expeditiously
with the work at hand.  Both leaders responded positively to my
proposal that they resume discussions with my representatives in
February.  On 13 and 16 February, I received replies from Prime
Minister Mitsotakis of Greece and Prime Minister Demirel of Turkey
respectively agreeing to the visit of my representatives.  I also
had the opportunity to discuss the Cyprus question with Greek
Foreign Minister Samaras on 24 January and with Turkish Prime
Minister Demirel on 14 February who both assured me of their
Governments' full support.

22.  The powers and functions of the federal Government as
foreseen would ensure the effective participation of the two
communities as well as the effective functioning of the
Government, and would include appropriate deadlock-resolving
machinery.  IT ENVISAGES A BICAMERAL LEGISLATURE WITH THE LOWER
HOUSE HAVING A 70 TO 30 RATIO BETWEEN GREEK CYPRIOTS AND TURKISH
CYPRIOTS AND A 50 TO 50 RATIO IN THE UPPER HOUSE.  THE OPTION OF
SEPARATE MAJORITIES IN THE LOWER HOUSE FOR CERTAIN MAJOR ISSUES
WAS ALSO DISCUSSED.  As part of the federal executive, a council
of ministers was discussed in which the Greek Cypriots and the
Turkish Cypriots would be represented on a 7 to 3 ratio, with one
of three major ministries headed by a Turkish Cypriot.  It is also
envisaged that all powers not vested in the federal Government
would rest with the two federated states.

* Mhpws sas 0ymizei kati alles symfwnies prin kamia triantaria xronia?



24.  The security of both communities would be guaranteed through
the 1960 Treaties of Guarantee and of Alliance, each of which
would be appropriately supplemented.  IT WOULD PROVIDE FOR THE
WITHDRAWAL, BY THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC, OF ALL
NON-CYPRIOT FORCES NOT FORESEEN IN THE TREATY OF ALLIANCE, AND
MACHINERY TO DEAL EFFECTIVELY WITH ANY CONCERN OF EITHER
COMMUNITY.

29.  Despite repeated efforts, there has been no progress and, as
I have mentioned above, in certain areas there has even been
regression.  This is a matter of serious concern.  THE CURRENT
EFFORT CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INDEFINITELY IF ALL
CONCERNED ARE NOT WILLING TO MAKE THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO A
COMPROMISE SOLUTION.  It is vital that the parties be willing to
clarify equally all the elements of the agreement and adhere
faithfully to the principles laid down by the Security Council.
As was pointed out a year ago, the usefulness of the parties'
endorsement of Council resolutions has been undermined by the
interpretations they have given them.  It is essential that the
views of the parties be in harmony with the Council's position on
the Cyprus question.
