US embassy cable - 04MADRID2203

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C) We spoke with Juan Manuel Gonzalez de Linares, MFA 
Advisor in the Coordination Unit for Spanish Participation in 
the UN Security Council, on June 10 to request Spanish 
support for an extension of no more than four months for 
UNFICYP in order to indicate to the parties in Cyprus that 
the political situation has fundamentally changed.  Gonzales 
de Linares stated that while Spain understands the reasoning 
of the USG position, Spain was inclined to support a position 
similar to that of Russia and the United Kingdom.  He 
explained that position as supporting a full six-month 
renewal of UNFICYP's mandate, but with a promise that when 
the Secretary General presents his report in three months, 
the Security Council would consider it immediately and act on 
any changes recommended in UNFICYP's mission mandate or 
structure.
