The first priority in the latest Cyprus crisis is to establish a new ceasefire to stop the fighting between Turkey and the Cypriot national guard before It spreads from Cyprus to the GreekTurkish border. Once a ceasefire has been established. we must devote our energies to the withdrawal of all foreign troops on Cyprus other than those under the authority of international agreements. In addition. we must meet the emergency relief needs of all Cypriot refugees. particularly civilians who have been detainedincluding those who may have been deported to Turkey. Both Greece and Turkey are U.S. allies. And. most important. they form the crucial eastern flank of the NATO alliance.
