57. Our consent is required for the extension of the mandate of UNFICYP for another six months, Today we expressed personally to you, Mr. President, our inability to give that consent; I must now explain it to the Security Council. The reasons are well known; I have just stated what they are. In the resolution just adopted, mention is made of the Cyprus Government. We do not accept that it exists. It is we who live in Cyprus, and our opinion must be taken into account. Since we are confronted with this unacceptable resolu- tion, it is unavoidable that we should not give our consent. But under the same rules and in the same way we have tried to accommodate UNFICYP-the value of which we know better than anyone else-in Cyprus, we shall continue to accommodate it on the territory of the Northern Republic as we have done since 1983. I must thank the Commander of UNFICYP and all his forces, who are co-operating fully with the authorities of my Government in the north. We have no problems at all between us. They can and will stay in the north, with the consent and agreement of my Government and under the procedure we followed during the past six months. 58. I have little to say about the report of the Sec- retary-General, except to point out two minor mistakes which crept into the report, for which I am sure the Secretary-General bears no responsibility. I mention them because the report has to be right. The second sentence of paragraph 49 reads in part, “The purpose of these talks was to address with both sides a number of substantive elements”. I merely point out the mistake; 1 am sure that is not what the Secretary-General meant 
**Analysis**
This text appears to be a statement made by the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community, likely in the context of a United Nations Security Council meeting. The speaker is expressing opposition to a resolution extending the mandate of the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) and is instead proposing to accommodate the force on the territory of the Northern Republic of Cyprus. The text does not mention any specific economic, environmental, or social issues related to Cyprus, but rather focuses on political and governance matters. Therefore, it is likely that the text is related to international relations, politics, and governance.
