21 years ago-this is now the long-awaited moment when the Turkish and Greek peoples of Cyprus can, if they so wish, take this opportunity to reach a final and comprehensive settlement. 90. We are fully aware of the supreme importance of the stage that lies ahead of us. We are also sufficiently realistic to recognize that a true reconciliation between Turkish Cypriots and Greek~Cypriots will take time, while they embark upon a new experience of associa- tion, and that mutual trust will grow and flourish only if it is nourished by the good intentions of both sides and if there is no repetition of the errors of the past. 91, A just and lasting settlement in Cyprus is one of the main purposes of Turkish foreign policy and has been so for the past three decades. If the draft agree- ment were concluded at a high-level meeting between the leaders ofboth sides under the auspices of the Secretary-General, it would be a compromise to which my Government would not fail to give its firmest support. 92. We await the concludina of an agreement at the high-level meeting shortly to be held under the auspices of the Secretary-General and at the direct negotiations which will take place thereafter in working groups so that the text of a final settlement can be drawn up and acted upon. My Government will support and give sincere encouragement to all efforts designed to con- 9 tribute to the achievement of the goal, which is the establishment of a federal, bi-communal, bi-zonal and non-aligned republic. We are and will continue to be convificed that all the other parties concerned should act likewise. It is also our expectation that all other States wilt respect the agreement to be concluded be- tween the two parties in Cyprus and adjust their own positions accordingly.
