    "ocrText": "TELCON\nAmb. Ramsbotham/ Sec. Kissinger\nJuly 23, 1974, 3:23 p.m.\nR: Henry, I have received a telegram which I forgot about this\nmorning. Calaghan spoke to Kiprious and was told then that\nthe Greeks could not come to the meeting. He tried to put a lot of\np ressure on him -- before the coup or anything else. He said he\nintended to be in a meeting for 3:00. Turkey would be there, the UN\nand US representatives and the world press would be present. If the\nGreeks did not arrive the world would draw its own conclusion. It\nwas all meant to put on pressure.\nK: What is the hurry now? Larry has just talked in the last 10 minutes\nto Alexander and apparently he told him you were having a meeting.\nDiscussed when the conference might take place and the Turks might become\ndifficult without a conference. I did not have the impression that the\nTurks were dying to get to a conference.\nR: Nor did I.\nK: First of all I hope you will not act without talking to us. We did not\nmake a move without talking to you. Even though we grant you the\nbrains and us the muscle. It would still be nice. Secondly, I don't\nsee what the compulsion is to have this meeting.\nR: I suppose unless you can get the people around the table soon the\nIsland situation might change. I don't know their thinking. I will get\nin touch. What I read to you was this morning work and that was just\npressure.\nK: Make clear to your people--on that morning -- don't bother to protest\nthat morning thing just make clear to them in general. Obviously, all\nparties have to be there before we can do anything. Whatevery happens\nin Greece should be given 48 hours to settle down. As far as I can\ntell they have no PM now. Third, we will be happy to try to handle it.\nthe Turks with you. I don't have the impression that xxxix Ecevit will\ndie of a heart attack if there is no conference.\nR: I agree. Certainly we are not going to take any decisions without\nconsulting.\nK: If the junta were still there, I would think it desirable to have a\nrapid conference. In its absence I don't see the advantage of Thursday\nor Friday.\nDECLASSIFIED\nE.O. 13526, Section 3.5\nNLN09-64/14027 Per Hr. 9/29/2014\nBy RJ WIH NARA, Date 11/9/2016"
