January 1972 CE

Working against Makarios is the fact that most officers of the Cypriot National Guard are Greek regulars who support the junta and its desire to remove him from office and achieve some degree of enosis.

Grivas is also a threat to the archbishop.

Whereas the Greek colonels are at times prepared to make a deal with Turkey about Cyprus, Grivas is ferociously opposed to any arrangement that does not lead to complete enosis.
