Break in Cypriot conflict heralded by cease fire pledge
Turkish premier Ecevit announced a cease-fire with hopes of new victories, while Turkish air attacks continued and Greek Cypriots claimed three planes shot down. Ankara said the cease-fire stems from Greece agreeing to negotiate all disputes, including Aegean oil rights. The 6,000 strong Turkish invasion and 650 Turkish troops on Cyprus faced Greek National Guard and 1,000 Greek Army forces. Fighting also occurred between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The State Department expected the cease-fire to cover the Cypriot National Guard and Greek officers who overthrew Makarios. Dispatches from Nicosia said the truce would take effect in the afternoon, with relatively quiet boundary lines. Turkish jets reportedly attacked around Kyrenia and its airport at dawn, with light raids compared to weekend offensives. At least one F-100 was shot down, the 18th Turkish plane claimed by defenders. Greek and Greek Cypriot forces held their positions, with Kyrenia's northern area still under Greek Cypriot control and Turks in a corridor toward Nicosia.
