121. Turning to the question of Cyprus, my delegation wishes to express its deep disappointment over the slow progress which has been made in settling that problem. The basic position of the Bahamas Government is that the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of the Republic of Cyprus must not only be maintained but safeguarded as well. The Bahamas believes that a settlement in Cyprus can be brought about only through negotiations between the parties. We therefore attach great importance to the intercommunal talks and urge resumption of discussions as quickly as possible. We further call upon all nations to condemn most strongly any outside interference in the internal affairs of Cyprus.
