1. Cyprus (as avail-
able to CIA at
0830 EDT)
a. The tenuous cease-fire
arranged between Ankara and Nicosia
last night remains most fragile.
b. Gunfire is continuing in
the Kokkina and Nicosia areas.
c. Athens claims that two
Turkish aircraft strafed Polis
this morning.
d. Turkish troops probably
landed in small numbers from several
destroyers in Mansoura Bay.
the presence
there of Turkish vessels well inside
Cyprus waters. This possibly may
only be an attempt to provide local
assistance
to Turkish Cypriots at Kokkina.
e. Turkish Army units continue
their assembly and loading prepara-
tions at Iskenderun and Silifke for
a full-scale invasion.

g. So far, Greek military
reaction has been limited to the
fly-over by 24 jets yesterday. But
Athens insists it must intervene
if Turkish troops land in strength.
h. Turkish staff officers
reportedly have said Greek inter-
vention would mean war. Both Greek
and Turkish forces in Thrace are
on the alert and report (b)(3)
that villages on both sides of the
border have been evacuated.
i. Athens, seeking a way out,
is insisting that Makarios enforce
the cease-fire.
j. So far, the only Soviet
response to Makarios' request for
military assistance has been Khru-
shchev's expression of "sympathy"
and his call to the Turks to stop
military operations.

1. In the event of major
Turkish landings we can expect
Soviet propaganda blasts and even
designedly ominous military-activ-
ities�as in past Middle/Eastern
crises.

2. China - North
Vietnam
infantry division stationed at
Mengtzu near the border
established an alternate headquar-
ters--often a precursor to deploy-
ment.
c. Peiping, in its state-
ments,is now stressing its "right"
to assist Hanoi "in every possible
form." A central committee member
warned at a rally yesterday of
China's determination "by practical
deeds to volunteer aid." This
could be a buildup to acknowledge-
ment of what has already been sent--
or it could mean more is coming.
d. While the North Vietnamese
have not yet rejected the UN's
invitation to appear, yesterday
Hanoi formally rejected the compe-
tence of the Security Council to
consider the situation.
