Konstantinos Karamanlis, in self-imposed exile in France…

July 1974 CE

Konstantinos Karamanlis, in self-imposed exile in France since 1963, had been called back to head the Greek government once more.

Clerides is sworn in as acting president of the Republic of Cyprus, and the foreign ministers of the guarantor powers meet in Geneva on July 25 to discuss the military situation on the island

Prime Minister Ecevit publicly welcomes the change of government in Greece and seems genuinely interested in eliminating the tensions that have brought the two countries so close to war.

Nevertheless, during the truce that is arranged, Turkish forces continue to take territory, to improve their positions, and to build up their supplies of war materiel.
