1951 CE

The plebiscite results and a petition for enosis are taken to the Greek Chamber of Deputies, where Prime Minister Sophocles Venizelos urges the deputies to accept the petition and incorporate
the plea for enosis into national policy.

The plebiscite data are also presented to the United Nations (UN) Secretariat in New York, with a request that the principle of self-determination be applied to Cyprus.

Makarios himself appears before the UN in February 1951 to denounce British policy, but Britain holds that the Cyprus problem is an internal issue not subject to UN consideration.
