10111951  Text of the Speech made by Mr. Sarper (Turkey) in the Security Council Meeting No. 566 held on 10 November 1951


 Text of the Speech made by Mr. Sarper (Turkey) in the Security Council Meeting No. 566 held on 10 November 1951

 

We have already explained the connection with this dispute in the statement which I made to this Council on 29 March of the year [538th meeting]. If you will permit me, I shall read a sentence from the statement which I made:

 

"First of all, we are deeply disturbed and concerned because of the existence of such a dispute between two sister nations, to both of which we have the greatest admiration."

 

I now want to explain very briefly the vote we are about to cast on the draft resolution which is before the Council now, that is, document S/2390.

 

My delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution tabled jointly by the delegations of the United States and the United Kingdom. However, in doing that it is the intention of this delegation to reaffirm the provisions of the fifth paragraph of the resolution adopted by this Council on 30 March 1951. I shall read this, if you will permit me, because we attach some importance to the provisions of this paragraph.

The fifth paragraph reads as follows:

 

"Affirming that the convening of a Constituent Assembly as recommended by the General Council of the 'All Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, and any action that Assembly might attempt to take to determine the future shape and affiliation of the entire State or any part thereof would not constitute a disposition of the State in accordance with the above principle". that is to say, the principle of the resolution adopted on 30 March.

 

At the same time, I should like to express the hope that the parties to the dispute will abide by the dispositions of this paragraph in particular and of the resolution in general.
