GREECE-CYPRUS-TURKEY: The intercommunal talks
between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities
are likely to resume within the next month with the
additional participation of representatives from
Greece, Turkey, and the UN.
The talks reached an impasse and were suspended
late last year. Efforts to resume them were inter-
rupted last winter by the Greek move to reduce Pres-
ident Makarios' power on the island, and more re-
cently by Turkish insistence on several precondi-
tions. Ankara now says it will resume the talks
under three conditions: the discussions must deal
only with constitutional questions; Cyprus must re-
main independent; and the Greek-Cypriot and Turkish.-
Cypriot representatives must have equal status.
Athens has agreed to a proposal by UN Secretary-
General Waldheim to resume the talks on this basis.
Archbishop Makarios is also likely to concur,
because he probably believes the resumption of the
talks will mean a lessening of Greek pressure for
changes in his administration. The archbishop is
presently carrying out a cabinet reshuffle, and
he probably fears the Greeks will not approve of
all of his appointments.
akarios is a so aware
t at t e Greeks wan to avoid criticism at the semi-
annual UN Security Council meeting on Cyprus in
mid-June when the extension of the UN force on the
island will be considered. The archbishop views
Greek concern over this meeting as further assur-
ance that Athens will not press for additional
changes in his administration.
