SUBJ:CYPRUS - AMBASSADOR•s MEETING WITH PRESIDENT GHIZIKIS
1. I OPENED MEETING WITH PRESIDENT GHIZIKIS OF GREECE THIS MORNING BY EXPRESSING TO HIM THE DEEP APPRECIATION OF THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE USG FOR THE STATESMANLIKE RESTRAINT THEY WERE SHOWING IN CYPRIOT CRISIS. IN ADDITION, I SAID THEIR REACTION TO DATE WAS HELPING MATERIALLY IN IMPROVING NOTABLY ISOLATION INTO WHICH THEY HAD FALLEN AFTER COUP JULY 15. THE US AND GOG NOW ON SAME WAVE LENGTH WORKING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER TO BRING ABOUT IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE AND P~ACE ON ISLAND. 2. PRESIDENT GHIZIKIS THEN TOLD ME THAT THE TURKS WERE LANDING ADDITIONAL TROOPS IN THE KYRENIA AREA. HE SAID HE DID NOT WISH TO WASTE TIME REVIEWING THE PAST AND .HE APPRECIATED ALL EFFORTS I HAVE MADE ~S WELL AS USG TO HELP TO BRING ABOUT POSITIVE RESULTS. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN NO CONCRETE RESULTS TO DATE AND ALTHOUGH THE GOG HAS CONSISTENTLY MAINTAINED A POSTURE OF SEEKING TO AVOID INCREASING TENSIONS THEY HAVE IN FACT REVIE•.,!ED THEIR POSITION AND ARE NOT TAKING DECISIONS. HE REPEATED THAT SINCE 0445 HOURS THE INDISCRIMINATE BOMBING OF ALL CITIES ON THE ISLAND HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE AND FRESH TURKISH TROOPS ARE LANDING IN THE KYRENIA AREA. THE BOMBING TARGETS ARE NOT MILITARY BUT CIVILIAN AS WELL. HE THEN SAID "WHAT IS THE VALUE OF NATO "IF NONE OF OUR
~:~~ ~A~~~r~~o:RioH~~:~~GN~ioA~Hl~~switrs;i ~~~6g~c~~s ~~, AT 1000 HOURS THIS MORNING. THE PRIME MINISTER WILL GO r~~ ~ ON RADIO AND TELEVISION AT 12 NOON TO EXPLAIN TO THE GREEKt~ ~ PEOPLE WHY GREECE HAS TAKEN THIS STEP. HE CONTINUED .. ':) ( / THEY WERE TAKING THIS STEP IN ORDER TO "FREE THEMSELVES" =/
FROM THEIR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO NATO. ONCE THIS FREEDOM IS OBTAINED. HE CONTINUED, GREECE WILL 3E FREE TO TAKE ANY DECISIONS IT DEEMS NECESSARY IN ITS NATIONAL INTEREST. THEIR HANDS WILL NO LONGER BE TIED BECAUSE THEY ARE ALLIED WITH TURKEY. 3. I SAID I THOUGHT THIS WOUL:sm~~EAT MISTAKE. I REPEATED
. i\U.J
SECRET -THAT THEIR POSTURE TO DATE HAD HELPED VERY MUCH IN IMPROVING THEIR IMAGE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. IT WAS NOT TRUE THAT THEY WERE ISOLATED AS SH01JJN BY EFFORTS OF !JS AND OTHER NATO ALLIES IN THE UN AS WELL AS NATO FORUM. IN ADDITION, THE NINE EEC COUNTRIES HAD ALSO TAKEN STRONG STAND TO HELP RESTORE PEACE TO THE ISLAND. ABOVE ALL THEY SHOULD REALIZE THAT THEY REALLY DO HAVE A GREAT FRIEND IN THE UNITED STATES, AND ESPECIALLY IN PRESIDENT OF THE u.s. . WE WERE NOW MARCHING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER TO TRY TO BRING ABOUT AN IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE. HE WAS AWARE OF GREAT EFFORTS BEING MADE BY UNDERSECRETARY SISCO IN ANKARA lAHO WAS NOW MEETING WITH PRIME MINISTER. I ADDED I COULD TELL HIM UNEQUIVOCABLY THAT US TAKING FIRMEST POSITION WITH THE GOT ON THE QUESTION OF A CEASE FIRE AND IT IS NOW CLEAR TO GOT THAT IT WOULD BE JEOPARDIZING MOST SERIOUSLY THEIR RELATIONS WITH THE u.s. IF THEY DID NOT REPEAT NOT COOPERATE IN THE ATTAINMENT OF AN IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE. 4. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS, PRESIDENT SAID ALL THIS UNDERSTOOD BY GOG AT HIGHEST LEVELS, BUT ACTION HAD TO BE TAKEN IN HIGHER GREEK INTEREST. MOREOVER, AS A NATO ALLY, AND THE CLOSEST FRIEND OF GREECE, I THO!JGHT HE SHOULD AT LEAST GIVE THE PRESIDENT OF THE US AND OUR SECRETARY OF STATE THE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING INFORMED IN ADVANCE AND EXPRESSING THEIR VIElnS ON THIS GRAVE STEP HHICH GOG ABOUT TO TAKE. 5. PRESIDENT GHIZIKIS SEEMED SO~EWHAT MOVED BY THIS STATEMENT. HE THEN SAID MOST HE COULD DO AT THIS TIME WAS TO POSTPONE THE HOUR OF ANNOUNCEMENT UNTIL 1100 HOURS, BUT THAT HE HOPED THAT USG COULD GIVE HIM THEIR COMMENTS EARLIER. I ASSUME HE MEANS BY THIS SOMETHING CONCRETE IN THE FORM OF A TURKISH DECISION TO COMPLY ~ITH THE DECISIONS OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL AND THE MOST EARNEST PLEAS OF USG AT HIGHEST LEVELS. TASCA 0685

INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM
CYPRUS
Situation Report Number 19 (As of 1900 EDT)
(All times cited .are Nicosia time, unless other~ wise specified)
GENERAL MILITARY SITUATION
1 ~ , Turkish regular forces on Cyprus appear to have made liitle headway today, and have not.achieved any of their major obje~tives on the island.
2. The buildup of Turkish forces on the Kyrenia beachhead seems to be going slowly. Only a limited number of Turkish tanks are known to have been landed. The Turks may have misjudged both the military capabilities of the G~eek Cypriot National Guard and the ability of Turkish Cypriot enclaves to maintain their positions. Considerable fighting continues on the western edge of the beachhead near Karavas.

FIGHTING ON CYPRUS
3. Fighting continued throughout the island with Greek Cypriot forces holding the upper hand in the inter-communal fighting. They have also launched attacks · against the Turkish in~rasion forces. • There are no additional reports on the landing of Turkish paratroopers at Pyrgos on the western end of the island.
4. Extensive fighting continues at Karavas at the western ed e of the Turkish beachhead.
secur1. rang.e hands of· that
now come under attack.
5. In Nicosia, fighting resumed this afternoon after the convoy bearing American civilians left the city. Tank firing was re~orted'in the vicinity of the Ledra Palace Hotel. Press reports indicate that 380 civilians from the hotel were rescued by UN forces late today. Greek Cypriot National Guard troops still appear to control the international airpqrt at Nicosia.
6. In the intercommunal fighting, Turkish forces in Larnaca have .surrender~d and are under gu~rd by UN troops. The National Guard has demanded, however, that the Turks be handed 6ver to them. Paphos on the west coast apparently has fallen to the Greeks, despite Turki~b air strike~ durin& the day.

MILITARY ACTIVITIES ON THE MAINLAND
8. There is little additional informat~on on the buildup of Greek-Turkish forces in Thrace. Press reports indicate that major Greek troop reinfo;cements continued toward the frontier throughout the day~ but that the border itself was calm. Civilian traffic reportedly crossed normally between the two countries with formalities at a minimum .
. 9. :Turkish authorities have ordered stricter enforcement of the blackout ~onight. All public gathering places, including restaurants that were allowed· to stay_ open ·la~t night, were ordered closed.
CEASE-FIRE . .
10. According_ t~ the chief of the dr~ek r~~dini forces, the full ·war council, with General Bananas and Ioannidis present, met early this evening. They were presumably discusstng the latest Turkish ~ease-fire pro~ posals conveyed to Prime Minister Androutsopoulos by Secretary_Sisco.
11. The new Cypriot Foreign Minister has told the US Govern~ent that Nicosia would be willing to discuss a cease..,.fire, but only "with honor." He insisted that the Sampson· g9vernment had to be represented at any cease-fire talks or the talks would be pointless,
·and that the exclusion·of the Greek Cypriot governm~nt would be_an insult. ·These views apparently were ·the foreign ._minister's own_. He said he had not seen Samp-son or other government leaders recently and had only spo~en with Sampson a few times by telephone.· ·
12. Athens has accepted the UN Security Council ~esolution calling for a cease-fire in Cyprus, and has requested an urgiht Council session to deal with alleged Turkish atrocities on the island. The decision was delivered in a letter to the President of the Security Council from the Greek UN representative.

SOVIET POLITICAL ACTIVITIES
15. ··In his ~eeting wiih the Turkish Ambassador . today, Soviet Foreign Min~ster Gromyko ~as sympathetic to the invasion, but he also registered Soviet concerns about Ankara's future intentions. The Turk told Amba~sador Stoessel that Gromyko had sought. clarification ·of Anka~a's attit~de to~ard partition. Gromyko also questioned the Turkish envoy about Ankara's attitudes· toward eve,ni:ual withdrawal of Turkish troops.
