situation. 108. I cannot conclude this statement without paying a tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Claude Pilloud, who, as the third member of the Committee on Missing Persons since its creation, diligently played a part in efforts to deal with that unfortunate aspect of the problem. 109. The PRESIDENT: The representative of Cyprus has asked to make a statement, and I call upon him. 110. Mr. MOUSHOUTAS (Cyprus): I shall be very brief. For obvious reasons, I will not reply to the first remarks of Mr. Denktaa. The initiative of the Sec- retary-General is going on, and this is a time to con- centrate our efforts on the success of the high-level meeting, not for acrimony. In any event, the records of the Security Council on the question of Cyprus contain in extenso our replies to these much-repeated remarks. 111. With regard to the proximity talks, on 13 Decem- ber a spokesman of my President issued the following statement: “A spokesman for the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr. Spyros Kyprianou, referring to certain statements made by Mr. Denktas, stated that as far as President Kyprianou is concerned his under- standing with the Secretary-General is absolutely clear, and it coincides with yesterday’s statement of the Secretary-General to the press and with his written report of today’s date to the Security Coun- cil”-that is, document S/16858. “President Ky- prianou feels that anything that might tend unneces- sarily to complicate matters should be avoided in order that the difficult task of the Secretary-General be facilitated. President Kyprianou feels that all con- cerned should concentrate seriously on the effort to achieve progress towards a solution of the Cyprus problem.” 112. The PRESIDENT: The representative of Greece has asked to make a statement, and I call upon him. 11 -
