But we cannot observe the anniversary of Greek independence without noting that all Greeks are not free and independent. ruled by government of their own choosing. The events of the past weeks in Cyprus only serve to emphasize the love of freedom which seems invariably to be found in the hearts of the Greek people. I was deeply shocked by the British deportation of Archbishop Makarios. and believe it can only worsen an already bad situation. The solution of -the problems of Cyprus. in my opinion. are to be found in applying the principles of selfdetermination and justice. not through the deportation. without even trial or hearing. of a ranking church dignitary and national leader. Inevitably. the people of Cyprus will gain the right to choose their own government. I want the people of Cyprus to have that right.
