Turks Demand End to Blockade After Inadequate UN Airlift
Turkish Cypriot leaders in Nicosia condemned the U.N. airlift of two tons of emergency rations to Kokkina as inadequate and urged Greece to end the economic blockade. The Turkish government had planned a naval convoy under armed escort, while Makarios warned that such moves would be seen as aggression. He offered to allow Turkish supplies to reach ports controlled by Greek Cypriots if the blockade was not breached.
