Turkish Cyprus crisis escalates amid Greek surge and Turkish mobilization
Turkish Premier Ecevit warned the eastern Mediterranean was very grave as Greece reportedly increases forces in Cyprus. Turkey massed up to 90,000 troops on its southern coast with landing craft offshore while U.S. and British diplomats urged diplomatic restraint. Makarios sought U.N. aid as Greece rejected demands to pull Cypriot National Guard officers, and the Soviet Union backed Makarios while accusing Greece of aggression.
