**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a political situation and a meeting of the Security Council, which is a UN body responsible for maintaining international peace and security. The statement read by the President of the Council refers to a tense and dangerous situation in Cyprus and calls upon parties concerned to show moderation and refrain from actions that might aggravate the situation. This suggests that the topic is related to international relations, conflict resolution, and security, rather than any of the economic, social, or cultural categories.
