SECRETARY-GENERAL DEPLORES CLASHES IN UNITED NATIONS BUFFER ZONE IN CYPRUS
The following was issued today by the Spokesman for the Secretary-
General:
Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali deplores the violent clashes
that took place in the United Nations buffer zone in Cyprus last
Sunday and again today. He is greatly concerned at the excessive and
indiscriminate use of force, which has caused two men to be killed and
many more to be injured, including United Nations peace-keepers.
The Secretary-General appeals to the leaders of the two communities in
the island to calm tempers and to resolve their differences through
dialogue and negotiation. He will continue to assist the two sides in
this endeavour.
