    "ocrText": "TELECON\nAmbassador Ramsbotham/Secretary Kissinger\nJuly 23, 1974\n5:30 PM\nK: I want you to know I'm getting restless with London.\nR: I haven't had an answer. They were talking about it.\nK: I have talked to Ecevit. I had a frantic call from the Greek Government,\nor what passes for the Greek Government.\nR: Who is that?\nK: Mr. Canellopoulos, they said if there was a Turkish attack tomorrow, then\nthe Greek democracy would collapse. So I called Ecevit to tell him not to do it.\nHe said he wouldn't.\nR: Attack on waht?\nK: Nicosia.\nR: What was it to be on. I had't heard.\nK: The airport, they were afraid of a general attack. In the course of my\nconversation with Ecevit, he tells me that he has an agreement with Callaghan\nthat he would be in Geneva tomorrow evening. Unless he hears to the contrary from\nthe Greeks. But the Breeks are no more able to say they will come then to say\nthey are not. And there is no way you can settle this thing without us and if you\ntry a solo, we will drag our x feet.\nR: I'll tell you what I said, that you said there is\nthat all peace\nK: I thinkit's inconceivable that the Greek democratic governemtn be confronted\nby a British/Turkish gangup. You better make it clear to London that I think\ncommunications have totally broken down and remind them W that I didn't make\na move wxix without clearing it with Saktaxpaxx Callaghan.\nR: I'm still waiting to hear. I think in London they are concerned about what might\nhappen if we leave the situation in Cyprus without a conference.\nK: I'm not concerned about that. I don't want a conference without the Greeks.\nWe will not be there and will not associate ourse ves with a British/Turkish\n.\nR: We shall try to get them there and with a new government, we can probably\ndo it.\nK: It's indecent to ask a new government that hasn't been formed to go there to\nnegotiate. That is out concern. Since the outcome is not one that will\nbe glorios for Greece it certainly should not look like maximum wxxx\nweakness"
