[01] CYPRUS PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE - UN RESOLUTIONCyprus Permanent Representative to the UN Minas Hadjimichael has expressed the governments satisfaction with the fact that the UN Security Council has reiterated and endorsed in the resolution it adopted on May 29 for the renewal of the mandate of the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), the agreed basis for the comprehensive solution to the Cyprus Problem, which is a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation, with political equality as set out in the relevant Security Council resolutions.Speaking after the approval of resolution 1873, Hadjimichael also expressed appreciation to the members of the Security Council who voted in favour of the adoption. As you know, it has always been the position of my Government that the presence of the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus is indispensable, it is a condition sine qua non, as long as the occupation of part of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus by Turkey, persists, he said. Regarding the notion of renewing UNFICYPs operations, Hadjimichael said that the Cypriot Government is pleased to note that the Resolution stipulates that any contingency planning could be effected, only once a settlement has been agreed and is in place, and that therefore, the implementation of any such contingency plans or adjustments to the Force, will concern the, post-solution era.
