“It has demonstrated how effective it can be by playing a leading role in the liberation of Kuwait, showing that it can function as its founders intended nearly half a century ago. We were at last able to look forward to a world liberated from the awful threat of nuclear destruction, with nations enjoying the fruits of commerce and industry in peace, security, freedom and democracy. However, it now appears that we were all perhaps carried too far by the new wave of optimism. From the Balkans and the Black Sea basin to the Transcaucasus, and from Afghanistan to Somalia, there have emerged new conflicts pitting nations and ethnic communities against one another. Now peace and security are threatened by destruction and economic ruin, compounded by the horrors of "ethnic cleansing" and mass starvation.”

“The international landscape, characterized for so long by ideological confrontation and nuclear stalemate, has undergone a fundamental change. The bitter East-West rivalries that dominated every aspect of international affairs are finally behind us. These momentous developments have made it possible to settle a number of conflicts which were a direct result of the cold war. From Africa to Asia to Latin America, people have been able to lay aside ideological disputes and get on with the business of reconciliation and peacemaking.

“Boutros-Ghali, the United Nations has found the experience and wisdom to which it can entrust itself for guidance to success.

We wish our new Secretary-General success, and pledge him our support. My delegation welcomes and salutes the 13 new Members of our Organization. We take special pride in the fact that Turkey enjoys ties of kinship, language and culture with some of them. They will surely enrich and strengthen our global family. In the past few years we have witnessed one of the great turning-points of history. The cold war has come to an end.”

“It gives me great pleasure, Sir, to congratulate you on your election to the high office of President of the General Assembly. We are happy to have a distinguished leader from a neighbouring country at the helm of the Assembly for the next 12 months. Our relations with Bulgaria are excellent, and we are very glad to have supported your candidacy. The forty-sixth session of the General Assembly was remarkable and eventful in a number of ways. Ambassador Samir Shihabi, the President at the last session, deserves a special tribute for his distinctive contribution to the efforts to enhance the stature of this universal forum. The competence and wisdom he displayed in guiding our work have justified the confidence we placed in him. We are fortunate that, in the person of Mr.”
