5. The two parties condemn any attemp to change the demographic character of Cyprus.
6. Within the framework of a solution, the right of refugees to return to their homes should be recognized and the implementation of this right to be realised bearing in mind the bizonal and bicommunal character of the Federal Cyprus State.
7. The question of the missing persons should be faced as a humanitarian one, and the fate of the missing persons both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots during the whole period of intercommunal strife should be assertained.
8. The two parties agreed that the people of both communities should become conscious that the peaceful solution of the Cyprus problem is of utmost importance.
The past experiences of acts of violence and terrorism which have poisoned the relations between the two communities should not be allowed to be repeated.
9. A necessary factor for achieving a just and viable solution of the Cyprus problem is the creation of the conditions of trust, mutual respect, friendship and cooperation between the two communities.

Therefore the two parties demand elimination of any obstacles in the way of communication between the two communities.
