    During the discussion at the ad hoc committee on the Middle East, the Cypriot delegation condemned the role of Turkey in Cyprus and referred to the 1974 Turkish invasion, the continuing occupation and its consequences. The delegation pointed out that the Cypriot people and their leadership have been fighting for 36 years to find a viable and functional solution that serves the interests of all Cypriot citizens and promote peace and security throughout the Eastern Mediterranean.
