Iran was a rather prosperous country, showing economic and social stability and was internationally respected. Within the “commonworth of the blockfree states” it was one of the countries with the highest living standard. Consequently, Iran under Shah Reza Pahlevi was never a big issue for the UN. Cyprus, in contrast, had UN troops based on their territory to prevent the tensions between different political and ethnic groups mounting to a violent conflict. After the formally declared independence from Britain in 1960 caused only more violence between the greek and the turkish population, mounting to more than 1000 victims of riots and massakers. Hence, Cyprus in the 60s was for the UN a major concern, perhaps like the Israel-Palestine conflict today.
The Cyprus conflict and their management had probably occupied more than half of all UN activities, whereas Iran was an island of stability.
Therefore, I dont think that the spelling mistake on this UN protocol was done intentionally. I think it simply reflects where in the world in these years the conflicts and the concerns of the UN were located. For Cyprus, the last 40 years went on a slow but steady path towards economic and political stability and cooperation between the two ethnic groups. Hence, Cyprus went very far down on the UN agenda. Iran probably replaced Cyprus as the top issue for the UN. I would therefore not be surprised if on a modern UN document about “Cyprus” one finds it mispelled as “Cyrus”.
