to
The plan provides for an elected Assembly for the island with a Greek-Cypriot majority and an upper House modelled on the US Senate - with equal Greek and Turkish representation.
The veto power
of the upper House is designed safeguard the interests of the 100,000 strong Turkish minority, the source said. The new Turkish plan will be presented formally to Britain next week as a compromise between the extreme demands for self-determination by the exiled Cypriot leader, Archbishop Makarios, and Britain's latest project for liberal salf-rule.
But Turkey has decided to notify Britain that she is unalterably opposed to any provision for self-determination for the island which would be tantamount to its union with Greece, the source said.
Turkey, however, is now prepared to concede self-rule for her minority. The Ankara government therefore suggests a constitution based on an elected Assembly in which the Greek Cypriot majority would prevail.
