Smeared Yoghurt. Archbishop Makarios, President of Cyprus, claimed victory, argued that "Turkey cannot in the future threaten intervention in Cyprus," because, as he put it, the U.N. action is certain to lead to termination of the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee. The Turks, of course, violently and volubly disagree with Makarios' interpretation. In any case, Turkey would be unlikely to attempt an armed invasion of Cyprus unless the Turkish Cypriots were in danger of being wiped out. Moreover, last week elements of the U.S. Sixth Fleet had joined the Turkish navy in NATO maneuvers that seemed more for the purpose...
...about it." Forceful Tampering. Diplomats at the U.N. would be equally happy to forget all about the Cyprus problem, which last week was returned to the Security Council after U Thant's failure to provide a solution through backstage jockeying. The Greek Cypriots, led by their President, Archbishop Makarios, stubbornly insist that any draft resolution contain a reminder that all U.N. members must refrain under the Charter from tampering by force with the territorial integrity and independence of other members-a device by which Makarios hopes to bar Turkey from interfering with his own island war against the Turkish...

About the only ornament in his bedroom is an icon of Christ on the cross, and his combined salaries as President and archbishop ($21,280) go to charities. Makarios is so compelling a public speaker that Cypriots flock to hear his sermons, described as "full of poetry and light and love...
...Church of Cyprus has for centuries led the Greek community politically as well as spiritually. Makarios at once plunged into the enosis movement, calling for union of Cyprus with Greece, and staged an island-wide plebiscite in which Greek Cypriots voted 97% for enosis. In 1950 Makarios was elected Archbishop of Cyprus and simultaneously became Ethnarch, that is, leader of his people. He founded a militant youth group, which grew into the terrorist EOKA, and fought a savage four-year struggle against the British garrison. Arrested and exiled to the remote Seychelles Islands for a year, Makarios returned in triumph...
