Poge Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, August 17, 1974 Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Soturdtiy, August 17, 1974 Turks take northern Cyprus Greek, Turkish soldiers face-off at border Posts (continued from Page1) asked, but would prefer to hold talks in the U.S. capital. Nicosia resembled a ghost town. Reliable sources estimat- ed some 150,000 Greek Cypriots had fled their homes in advance of the victorious Turkish forces. "It's all over," a British mili- tary source said. THE cease-fire agreement yesterday was made through announcements by Turkish Pre- mier Bulent Ecevit in Ankara and Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides. Clerides and his government fled Nicosia for the south coast port of Limassol as Turkish jets and artillery pounded the outskirts of the capital. The departure was so hurried that records were left behind and the radio of the president's sec- retary was left on, blaring mar- tial music. Very heavy artillery and mor- tar fire still was heard in Ni- cosia for a few minutes after the cease-fire, apparently from Hurkish guns directed at Greek Cypriot positions. The sky was clear of Turkish planes but fighting continued around the international air- port until the last minutes be- fore the deadline. The Turkish army with some 40,000 men and 300 tanks fight- ing against ragged Greek Cyp- riot forces armed with World War II weapons, carved out a line 65 miles long across the northern part of Cyprus. The successful assault lasted 60 hours since it started at dawn Wednesday and left the Turkish army holding a belt from Famagusta on the east coast to Lefka on the west. IN ANKARA, the Turkish pre- mier told a news conference that the Turkish advances "laid the foundation for a federated Cyprus state with two separate autonomous regions" - one for the Greek Cypriot majority of 502,000 and one for the Turkish minority of 120,000. Ecevit did not elaborate on his idea of a federated state. But he said Turkey did not in- tend to enforce a population dis- placement by moving thousands of Turish Cypriots north and thousands of Greek Cypriots south. "The Greeks can stay in Tur- kish areas and the Turks in Greek areas," he said. "One will be the guarantee of the other." Ecevit said he would be will- ing to return to Cyprus peace tals at Geneva "as soon as pos- sible," and ruled out fighting again even if new talks in Ge- neva failed to produce results. ASKED whether Turkey would be willing to give up any of the land captured by the Turkish troops on the island, Ecevit said, "This can be discussed later. I cannot say anything now. We do not have irredentist ambitions. We could have taken the whole island. But we have given up our empire for good." He was referring to the Otto- man Empire which collapsed after World War I and con- trolled Cyprus from the 16th to the 19th century. Irredentism is the act of incorporating terri- tories from which one has been deprived or which is ethnically related. But Ecevit said Turkey would not give up Famagusta, where Turks have been living in the enclosed old city ever since the island became a British crown colony in 1925. He also said he would be will- ing to meet with Greek Pre- mier Constantine Caramanlis at a place and time chosen by the Greek leader, who pulled his military forces out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization after the last round of the Ge- neva talks collapsed.

ONE SEMESTER TWO SEMESTERS PERMANENT (otomatically renewed each term) By VICTOR SIMPSON Associated Press Writer A L E X A N D 0 UPOLIS, Greece - Ioannis Patrelis and Mehmet Aslanoglu stand with bayonets fixed only 20 feet apart, exchanging cigarets and dirty jokes. But Patrelis stands under the white and blue flag of Greece and Aslanoglu under the Tur- kish crescent, soldiers of two countries drawn to the brink of war over Cyprus. THE frontier where they face each other every day is a nar- row two-lane bridge spanning the Evros river, a lazy stream flowing to the Aegean and di- viding Greek and Turkish thrace. "The Greeks will never cross, and if they did they would not stand a chance," said the Tur- kish lieutenant who commands the military detachment at the border. "Just give us the chance, we'll be in Constantinople in a few hours," said his Greek counterpart across the Evros. Since Turkey invaded Cyprus July 20, Greece has massed 55,000 troops along the 130-mile long border. Turkey is equally well entrenched. ON Wednesday Greece said it would not send its troops to fight the Turks on Cyprus, and 24 hours later Turkey said its troops on the island would cease fire at sundown. This correspondent drove to the border from Alexandrou- polis, a seaside town brimming with Greek troops and military vehicles supporting the men at the front. Along the 25-mile stretch to CLOSED MONDAYS June, July, Aug. SAMS STORE 207 E. Liberty the border, along a dusty high- way bisecting parched tobacco fields, Greek army trucks and jeeps shuttled back and forth from the frontier. Most of the trucks were filled with helmet- ed soldiers carrying rifles with fixed bayonets. There were no signs of tanks or artillery but local sources said this equip- ment has been hidden and com- ouflaged for weeks near the frontier. AT THE border, travelers re- turning from Turkey reported seeing heavy military move- ments along the highway from Istanbul. "There were lots of soldiers and even some tanks headed toward the frontier," said Nino di Rieti, heading home to Turin, Italy, from a vacation in Tur- key. At the Greek border post all was quiet and the only move- ment were tourists from Italy, Germany and Holland. Despite the tense situation, customs po- lice searched tourist cars for drugs just as carefully as be- fore. INSIDE the border post, how- ever, Greek army officers sat and bemoaned their country's lack of action in Cyprus. They blamed the Americans as well as the Turks for the state of af- fairs on the Mediterranean is- land. "The best thing Cara- manlis did was to get out of NATO," saids a corps of engi- neers lieutenant, referring to Greek Premier Constantine Ca- ramanlis' decision following the breakdown of the last round of the Geneva talks. "It's clear the Americans are no longer our friends, but we will have to find a way to do without their military equip- ment. We get 95 per cent of our hardware from the States, now we should find another source." Another officer took out his vehemence on the Turks, curs- ing them and later seizing Tur- kish newspapers brought across the border by a traveler. Across the Evros, however, the- talk was quite different. "The Greeks are making a big mistake, instead of screaming about the Americans they should be worried about our common enemy up north," said the Turkish lieutenant sipping coffee with this correspondent in the shade of a tree-covered cafe. He was referring to the Soviet Union.
