UN General Assembly
1959

144. An objective evaluation of the international events which I have reviewed in the earlier part of my statement would, unfortunately, show that the world has not yet attained that state of peace, security and tranquillity to which we all aspire. Peace-loving countries in all parts of the world are still subjected to pressures, and the least concession or lack of vigilance under the present conditions results in tragic losses. 145. At the same time, we are witnessing a new diplomatic activity which we hope can bring a better atmosphere. I am, of course, referring to the activities of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, who is at present a guest of the United States. Turkey is one of the neighbours of the Soviet Union. For that reason it is only natural that Turkey should be one of the countries most desirous of the establishment of peace and tranquillity between the Soviet Union and the peace-loving countries.
