...pressure from this traveling panorama of opinion-from Reds to the far right-he began to haggle over details. Makarios protested that the Greek Cypriot President of the new Republic of Cyprus (likely to be Makarios himself) would have the trappings of power but not the authority, since the Turkish Cypriot Vice President would have effective veto powers. Makarios also feared that the introduction of 950 Greek troops and 650 Turkish troops as "protecting forces" on the island might lead to clashes...

The majority considered strongly anti-Communist Archbishop James too "progressive." When four anti-James metropolitans took their case outside the synod, leaking word to Turkish newspapers that James was "an enemy of the Turkish people," Athenagoras promptly took the strong action of dismissing the four metropolitans from the current synod.
