The uncompromising attitude of Makarios persisted despite the fact that the Turkish Cypriot side had accepted all the 13 points proposed by him in 1963, and even went beyond them.Makarios would not yield on the issue of local government despite the fact that the Turkish Cypriots had; abandoned their demand to group Greek and Turkish villages together, accepted that only the House of Representatives would enact legislation on local government matters, and accepted that administrative control would be exercised on behalf of the Government by a Civil Servant. Clerides strongly advised Makarios to accept the Turkish Cypriot proposals but Makarios would not be persuaded.
Turkish Cypriot proposals?? but aren't we talking about the 13 proposals of Makarios here? WHAT Turkish Cypriot proposals are you talking about now?Give us a break will you?According to Clerides...........the decision of Makarios of 12th December 1972 not to compromise....
Compromise about what? I thought you claim that all his points had been accepted?.......after the concessions that the Turkish side had made...
Concessions? I though you said "acceptance" of all points? Do you know the meaning of the term "concession"?
Come on newgen. Give it up.
Excellent demolition job!
