In a communique issued 10- night, the Greek govern- ment said Mr Lennox- Boyd' was told during his visit to Athens last Fri- day that the Cyprus pro- posala “do not provide for the exercise of the right of self-determination and do not comply with the principles of the United Nations charter."
The communique added: The proposals are both undemocratic and un- liberal.
"The government therefore unanimously considered that the proposals do not offer a biels for the solution of the Cyprus question."
