Agreement was very close in 1973. This has been documented by evidence offered by both mainland Greek and Turkish advisers to Clerides and Denktash, and there is that famous party to celebrate the succesful conclusion of the agreement in 1973. A party which Greek constitutional law expert Michalis Dekleris called an "orgy of wine consumption" by Clerides and Denktash.
Overcoming the coup, well we do not know really, we never got a chance to try. The coup got into phase one, obtaining control over central installations, we do not know how resistance would have developed in the following weeks, Turkey invaded five days after its start.
But, if 200 EOKA guerrillas managed to pin down 44000 British soldiers, it is a sure bet that 600 000 Cypriots would have given the junta a run for its money.
Except that Eoka which had the real power in Cyprus was with Junta and managed to keep the lid on 600000 Cypriots too.
