UN General Assembly
1985

In this connection we wish to express our appreciation of and support for the accomplishments of the Secretary-General of the United Nations In his efforts to find a solution to the Cyprus question by bringing closer the positions of the two parties to the conflict, which could lead to the conclusion of an early agreement regarding the necessary framework for a just and permanent settlement of the problem. This would guarantee for the island of Cyprus its independence, security, territorial integrity and non-alignment, as well as the legitimate rights of the two communities there. The issues of economic and social development are as important as the world's political problems. Despite the fact that much has been accomplished in the areas of economic development and technological progress, there are serious problems that the world continues to face.
