I have told them the efforts we have made and how\nmuch importance we attach to maintenance of peace in the area.\nThey are very, very concerned about what is going on in Cyprus\nand it has created an impossible problem for them politically to\nface as the first democratic government of Greece since 1967.\nThey would like to have you speak to them and Kanaloplis SO they can\nexplain this problem.\nKanaloplis: Mr. K. speaking.\nK: How nice to hear from you.\nWxxxxxxx1\nKan: We are all here very concered and we are in a dilemma. It is\nimpossible for us to accept this continuation of such activities in Cyprus.\nThe situation has become very critical. I would be very glad if you\nwould be kind enough to have a talk with Mr. Napolis.\nK: I have heard you very well.\nKari I have to tell you I am very glad to have this talk with you for\nthe first time in my life.\nK: I would like to tell you that our friendship for Greece is firm and you\ncan count on our friendship and our alliance. I will get immediately in\ntouch with the Turkish Prime Minister and urge him to show the\ngreatest restraint.\nKari: Thank you very much indeed.

Re the military\noperations to happen to Nicosia tomorrow morning. It would be impossible\nfor us to survive as a Government just as we take over. What is\ncome back to the ceasefire line. Otherwise we do not know how to stay in\npower. They are violating the ceasefire agreement. We would like you\nto intervene as soon as possible and ask them to come back to the cease-\nfire line."
