This being my position, and taking into account the fact that the question of Cyprus is to be examined in detail in the First Committee, I shall content myself here with describing this painful problem in broad outline and as briefly as possible. I should like to stress the fact that the conflict, apart from its political aspect, has a human aspect that must never be forgotten. For two years an entire community has been eking out a precarious existence in anguish and misery. The reports which the Secretary-General of the United Nations has submitted to the Security Council describe in all their tragic scope the sufferings which the Turkish community in Cyprus has had to endure.
