52. The PRESIDENT: The next speaker is Mr. Rauf Denktas, to whom the Council has extended an invita- tion in accordance with rule 39 of its provisional rules of procedure. I invite him to take a place at the CounciI table and to make his statement. 53. Mr. DENKTAS: I thank you whole-heartedly, Mr. President, for allowing me to speak at this crucial stage of the Cyprus problem. 54. Because of certain statements that have been made here today, I must make it clear that the summit meeting which the Secretary-General has striven so hard and so persistently, and now so successfully, to convene in January next is not a meeting between the President of the Republic of Cyprus and Mr. Denktas, but a meeting between the two leaders of the two com- munities. I have to make that abundantly clear, 55. I am not meeting with the President of the Repub- lic of Cyprus, because my community has not recog nized and does not recognize him as such; it looks upon the Greek Cypriot Administration as an Administration which has flouted the Constitution of Cyprus, which has gone against international requirements and the international rule of law and which has taken away my community’s rights. That is why the Cyprus problem has existed for 20 years. Twenty years ago there was no republic in the north. No trouble was created by the Turkish Cypriots. Our rights were taken away; we were thrown out of the Government. We have been defending our rights; that is why UNFICYP has been in Cyprus for 20 years. 56. This mistake about the parties who are going to talk should not be made. If it is made, it becomes my duty to correct it. I am sorry to have started my taIk in this way. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a speech by Rauf Denktas, a Turkish Cypriot leader, discussing the Cyprus problem and the upcoming summit meeting. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing the two communities as separate entities, rather than the Greek Cypriot Administration. This suggests that the speech is focused on political issues, specifically the conflict between the Turkish and Greek Cypriot communities.
