92. All those -instigators, actors or accomplices- for whom the coup d'etat has become an institution that is an end in itself, bear a grave responsibility in this deadly and immoral provocation. They have on their consciences thousands of innocent dead and the despair of tens of thousands of refugees. 93. We proclaim once again that force must net prevail and must not count as a paying proposition. In this tragic Cyprus affair that causes us so much concern, we believe that we must entrust the requisite powers to the Secretary-General for the purpose of achieving the evacuation of foreign troops. After that, we must attempt to reconcile two necessities: that of compromise between the parties, and that of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Cyprus, in the absence of which we shall be consolidating a state of permanent insurrection that would result in a turmoil that would postpone for ever any peace in the region and pose a terrible danger to peace throughout the world.
