January 1972 CE

Relations between Nicosia and Athens are at such a low ebb that the colonels of the Greek junta, recognizing that they have Makarios in a perilous position, issue an ultimatum for him to reform his government and rid it of ministers who had been critical of the junta.

The colonels, however, have not reckoned with the phenomenal popularity of the archbishop, and once again mass demonstrations prove that Makarios has the people behind him.

In the end, however, Makarios bows to Greek pressure and reshuffles the cabinet.
