Callaghan/ Sec. Kissinger
July 22, 1974
1:15 p.m.
C: Sorry to trouble you. I don't seem to be plable to reach Ecevit. Are
you r communications better than ours.
K: I will try to reach him. What would you like me to discuss with him?
C: In response to this hysterical telegram about the genocide that is
going on and our communications with ourHigh Commissioner in Nicosia,
I am ready to offer two companies of guards and two squadrons of armored
cars to the UN forces. That would be about another 500 min.
K: Wonderful.
C: The other thing if you could carry him along on that would be great.
The other thing is that his Ambassador in Cyprus seems to be dominated
by the military commanders. He is in a hysterical mood and threatening
to call in Turkish fighters to bomb the UN forces. Will you gtell him with
as much caution as you can, if they do that we will stop them.
K: All right.
C: We can't do it very well. We have some Lightnings there. We cannot
have them bombing UN Forces in my view. 750 of them are our own men
apart from everything else.
K: I agree.
C: If you could get the positive side across to him and tell him to
restrain his people in Nicosia It would be a great help.
K: His ambassador is a pain in the neck. I will do it immediately.
C: I have been trying for an hour and with no success.
K: I will do my best.
C: We have sent a message to our Ambassador to get to him. If
you put the threat to stop him in general terms I would be grateful
K: I will do it.
