MAKARIOS: New York – The ethnarch of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, attended in a dinner given in his honor yesterday by the Overseas Press Club at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Speaking to about 200 guests, Makarios said that if the British leave Cyprus, he does not foresee any difficulties between the Greek and the Turkish inhabitants of the island. He expressed the certainty that it was British diplomacy that had instigated the Turkish reaction to the demand by Cyprus’s Greeks for self-determination. Furthermore, the archbishop said he was in favor of a peaceful solution to the Cyprus problem, and said that the condemnation of violence on the island should also concern its use as a means of depriving Cypriots of their freedom. He said that neither Turkey nor any other power had a right to oppose the will of the Cypriot people to acquire their freedom.
