If NATO contributes positively toward the settlement of the Cyprus question-contributes satisfactorily from Greece's point of view, that is-then it would be possible for Greece to reconsider its stand toward NATO. [The alliance, Caramanlis suggested, must unanimously condemn Turkish aggression, and pressure Turkey to accept less than 40% of Cyprus...
