[01] Denktash warns UNSC members prior to 17 April meeting

In a statement to the Anatolia Agency, Denktash claimed once again that the proposal made by President Glafcos Clerides on disarmament is aimed at eliminating the guarantee and alliance agreements.

Denktash recalled Greek Cypriot press reports saying that Russia will be defending President Clerides' disarmament proposal at the meeting of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council in New York today in a bid to resolve the issue, and alleged that Russia's behaviour is shameful from the viewpoint of humanity and justice.

Referring to Greek Cypriot statements saying that they will not renounce their struggle until Turkish occupation troops are withdrawn from the island, Denktash claimed: "They are, thus, rejecting bizonality because so long as a bizonal federation is not based on the sovereignty of the two sides Turkish Cypriot rights cannot go further than scribbling on sand. This is the reason for their armament".

Stressing that the Greek Cypriots will under no circumstances be accepted as the legitimate government, Denktash continued:

"I would not like to comment on proposals that will be taken up in our absence before I see them. I do not believe that a new package of proposals full of surprises will be submitted. The Cyprus problem concerns the two communities. This problem can be solved if the two sides are treated equally. If this is not done, then the Greek Cypriot administration, being under the impression that their position is secure, will continue on their own path and will advance toward new disasters."
