TELECON
Foreign Secretary Callaghan/Secretary Kissinger
July 17, 1974
2:50 pm
K: Can you hear me ?
C: I think SO. I think if about seventeen people get off the line I could
hear you better.
K: I was thinking of sending Joe Sisco or Bob Ingersoll to Lond on SO that
you could get a more first hand impression of our thinking on Cyprus.
C: That would be very good.
K: Is Ecevit going to stay over night ?
C: Probably will leave in the early morning. Makarios is leaving at
11:00 our time and will be with you at 1:35 He will then ask for a Security
Council meeting on Friday.
K: Right.
C: So that gives you time.
K: I will try to get someone over tomorrow morning and then have hime
go to Athens and Ankara.
C:
I think it would be very valuable. I would like that. I'll tell you our
position and this is basically the European position -- all the countries in
the Nine and NATO. We think the ideal solution would be to get Makarios
back Whether we can do it by diplomatic means remains to
be seen. Makarios asked for diplomatic activity to continue and the need
for non-recognition of the new regime in Cyprus. When you'llook ahead
for
six months -- will the situation be more than or less tense ? Our
estimation is more that it would look to be more tense if we can't get
Makarios back -- but the question is can we ?
K: Some of our people are wondering if a compromise not be Clerides.
C: He couldn't hold it. But the compromise might be an election in 3 months
with Makarios back on the Island.
K: But how will you get him back?
