Unfortunately, in what now can be called a full-scale civil war, differences have gone far beyond any such logical solution. And, whether the 1960 constitution giving Greek and Turkish Cypriots the right of veto over one another ever was a workable one also is a matter now of unimportance. So deep have gone the hatreds that certainly it won’t work now. The only workable solutions seem the extreme ones. A war that neither wants remains a possibility between Greece and Turkey, with NATO, already torn by disagreement, a further possible victim. U.N. In Middle In the middle, in a not unfa- militar situation, is the United Nations. It would take an optimist indeed to believe that the U.N. can in any way meet the three - month target date it originally gave itself to find a compromise solution. mands revision of the constitution to eliminate the Turkish veto. And on the other is the Turkish minority of less than 100,000 fearful of losing its minority protection and demanding partition of the island. So far the great tragedy of Cyprus is its mounting number of dead, its thousands of refugees and its wrecked towns and villages. No Longer Local But a conflict which should remain a local one already goes far beyond its island boundaries. Thousands of Soviet - built weapons find their way to the hands of Greek Cypriots through the United Arab Republic of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, not so much for Nasser’s love of Makarios but for his hatred of Turkey. The U.S. Embassy is bombed and Americans are threatened. British troops, accepted by Makarios in the role of peacemakers, find themselves the targets of snipers’ bullets. United Nations forces, their own role imprecise, find themselves accused of favoritism on both sides. On the one side is the Greek Cypriot majerity of more than Add color to iced drinks with 400,000 led by President Arch- pieces of maraschino cherries bishop Makarios.
