Pressed Moscow

The key to the Soviet offer appeared to be in the final paragraph of the Kremlin state- ment: “If a foreign armed lnva-_ sion of the territory of the Re public of Cyprus takes place the Soviet Union will help the Re-

reedom and independence from foreign invasion and is prepared to begin negotiations on '

i matter immeiately.”

Although the Greek - Cypriot government has made no offl- cial response to the Soviet offer. officials privately.interpret it, perhaps optimistically. as a full offer of arms aid and material support in the battle for self- determination. which would in ‘effect mean union with Greece.

While Greek - Cypriots were gleeful. Turkish-Cypriots gave the appearance of taking the So- viet message calmly. From the headquarters of the Turkish sec-

.tor of the divided capital city; in Turkish - Cypriot spokesman‘ (sai "We are. inclined to be- lieve that Russia will not into!- vene." ' WELCOMES EFFORTS
