Italsopreserved theindependence ofCyprusbypreventing theannexation oftheisland byGreece..Itwasnotan"invasion", butapeace operation whichprovided theTurkish Cypriots withsecurity oflifeandbrought peaceandtranquillity totheisland. Onefurther by-product ofthisintervention wastherestoration ofdemocracy inGreece. Afteranagreement forthevoluntary exchange ofpopulations wasconcluded between thetwosidesatVienna, on2August 1975,theTurkish Cypriot people moved tothenorthoftheislandforsecurity reasons andtheGreekCypriots movedtothe south. Thisagreement wasimplemented undertheauspices andsupervision ofthe United Nations. Thetransfer ofpopulations wascarried outonavoluntary basis. Therewasnoforcible displacement ofpopulations asalleged bytheGreekCypriot side. Consequently, thequestion of"refugees", asreferred tobytheGreek Cypriot representative, isanon-issue beingexploited bytheGreekCypriots to deceive thosewhoarenotfamiliar withtherecenthistory ofCyprus. Inthisconnection, IshouldalsoliketomakeitclearthattheGreek Cypriots whohavechosentostayintheterritory oftheTurkish Republic of Northern Cyprusafter1974enjoyeveryfreedom andhumanright, andcanmovefreely tothesouthoranyotherplaceoftheirchoice. Contrary totheallegations of theGreekCypriot representative wehaveno"enclaved personsllin theTurkish Republic ofNorthern Cyprus. Theperiodic reports oftheSecretary-General reveal thatanymovement ofGreekCypriots tothesouthisaccording tothefree-will of theindividual. United Nations reports, aswellasothersources, provethatthe GreekCypriots livingintheTurkish Republic ofNorthern Cyprusenjoyeverybasic humanright. TheGreekCypriot representative hasalsoraisedthephonyissueof"settlers fromTurkey". Iwillbriefly restate thefactsinthisregard. Tobeginwith,the allegation thatthe"influx ofsettlers" isamovetakentoalterthedemographic structure oftheislandisgroundless. Timeandagainwehavestated thatourimmigration policies, aswellasthe entryandexitprocedures oftourists, arequestions within theexclusive competence andjurisdiction oftheGovernment oftheTurkish Republic ofNorthern Cyprus. Itisnatural that,likeothercountries, theTurkish Republic ofNorthern Cyprus should regulate labour entryandexitinaccordance withitseconomic requirements. TheGreekCypriots arethelastpeopletocomplain about"changing the demographic structure oftheisland", sincetheyhavebeentheinitiators ofsuch policies forthepurpose of"Hellenizing" theisland. Wehavenotforgotten how, whentheTurkish Cypriots wereforcedtoliveinenclaves before 1974,withsevere restrictions ontheirfreedom ofmovement, everyencouragement wasgivenbythe GreekCypriot administration forTurkish Cypriots toleavetheisland.
