CYPRUS OVERFLIGHTS

The United States welcomes the decision of the Government of Cyprus not to invite Greek aircraft to overfly Cyprus during the Toxotis-Vergina exercise and the information that no other such overflights are planned at this time.

We welcome the information from the Government of Turkey that Turkey has no plans to overfly Cyprus as long as Greek aircraft do not overfly the island.

We believe these separate actions contribute to a better atmosphere for the efforts currently under way under the auspices of the United Nations aimed at a solution of the Cyprus problem.
