The second more

Before Primakov left for the White House, Yanayev had spoken to Primakov about the current situation in Cyprus. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Yanayev gave a sharp insight.

"In fact, in this Cyprus conflict, Greece and Turkey were all played by the United States and the Soviet Union once. The United States used the existing political situation to force Mazyer to cooperate with Washington, while the Soviet Union used the arms sales in Cyprus and the arrogance of Turkey to warn the other side not to get too close to the United States. In this way, the Soviet Union and the United States were evenly divided, each with its own winners and losers. ”

"But I feel that the United States has lost more people's hearts, after all, the cooperation first and then betrayal have betrayed the interests of Cyprus and Greece, and Turkey, which is trying to unite, has not achieved the desired effect, and the other side is still deeply hostile to President Mario's attempt to meddle in Turkey's internal affairs." This is our opportunity to divide NATO, Comrade Primakov, you have to take advantage of it. ”

Primakov repeatedly chewed on what Yanayev said on the plane, and always felt that Yanayev's words meant something else. Primakov knew that the trip to Washington was not as simple as he had imagined. His mission was not only to convey Moscow's position, but also to mediate between the United States and the Soviet Union.

When Primakov came back to his senses, he found that the plane had landed. A black Chevrolet convoy of all over the airport was waiting for Primakov's arrival. After stepping into the territory of the Americans, Primakov officially maintained a state of "radio silence" with Moscow. God knows how many CIA-installed bugging devices could be found in the hotel where he was staying.

The secret talks even bypassed the Soviet ambassador to the United States and became truly informal. In the conference room on his way to the White House, Primakov was thinking about how to compete with the American leader. After all, no one wants to lose out on the Cyprus issue.

Since the victory in Morfu, the spokesman of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, who had been clamoring for negotiations, suddenly lost his voice, and at this time, Greece has strongly demanded that the conflict be stopped, and the United Nations needs to intervene. Both Mario and Yanayev could see that the situation on the battlefield had changed.

Morfo, an important city in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, naturally wanted to get it back after losing it. And the Cypriot government army, which got cheap, would not easily hand over the city. The timing of the involvement of UN peacekeepers is therefore crucial.

When the person leading the way in front stopped, Primakov realized that he had reached the door of the conference room. The people around him stopped, signaling that only Primakov could enter the next meeting.

Primakov straightened his clothes and pushed the door open with a serious face.

The conference room room is not big, a few sofas, a table, very simple furnishings. But the people inside are inversely proportional to this simple conference room. US Secretary of State Madeleine, US President Mario, two heavyweight hawkish politicians sit in the seats, giving Comrade Primakov a feeling that conflict could break out at any time.

"On the issue of Cyprus, I think the United States and the Soviet Union hope that this regional conflict can be properly resolved and strive for an early return to the stable ...... of the Aegean Sea and even the Mediterranean region."

Sure enough, Primakov's foreboding became a reality, he had just provoked a beginning, and US Secretary of State Madeleine, who had been keeping a straight face, began to attack Primakov, "Wait, the Soviet Union doesn't seem to be a Mediterranean country, why did it start interfering in NATO's internal affairs?" ”

Primakov smiled, and he knew that today's negotiations were not so simple. In the face of Madeleine's aggressive momentum, Primakov only indifferently retorted to the other party, "So why did the United States start to intervene in the affairs of Mediterranean countries across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe?" ”

Primakov's counterattack left Madeleine at a loss for how to answer, and no matter what she said, there was a sense of strong words. Simply bypass this topic and enter the negotiation link.

"But it is an ironclad fact that the Soviet Union supported Greece in provoking a civil war in Cyprus, and kept saying that it wanted to maintain regional peace, stability and development, but in the end it was not a superficial and secretive thing?"

"Wait." Primakov made a gesture of pause, and he asked Secretary Madeleine to think about what the United States had done herself, "Have you forgotten one thing?" The reason for the civil war in Cyprus was not the Soviet Union, and everyone knows that after Secretary of State Madeleine visited Cyprus and Greece, tensions began to arise between the two sides. So whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union, a discerning person can see it at a glance, right? ”

The Soviet Foreign Ministry and the top officials were masters of all kinds of debates, and although Madeleine was aggressive at first, she was completely untenable, and was forced to say something by Primakov.

Primakov crossed his legs, his expression still flat and abnormal. Even President Mario, who was sitting on the sidelines and had not yet spoken, felt a little sorry for the secretary of state whom he had promoted. First he was completely debunked by Shevardnadze in diplomatic situations, and then he was completely abused here by Soviet envoy Primakov. Mario really felt that you should not try to debate with the Soviet diplomats, or they would overwhelm you with their sharp arguments and erudition.

President Mario even wants to see what exactly is in the minds of these Slavs?

"Isn't the point of contention between the two sides now about whether the civil war should be ended sooner rather than later and the United Nations should be involved? The USSR has always been supportive. We have an obligation to do so for the sake of the stability and unity of the Mediterranean region. ”

Mario didn't think so, everyone knew that the Soviet Union had taken advantage of the crisis to gain the permanent right to station an air base in Cyprus. This is very unpleasant for the UK. However, in the face of the highly uncertain regime in the north, the British top brass believes that it is safer to cooperate with Cyprus.

"What if the U.S. side thinks we shouldn't interfere in the internal affairs of a country? And now the United Nations is the world of the Americans. Madeleine's eyes narrowed, her eyes glazed over. Like a cobra looking at Primakov. It makes people feel a chill.

Primakov was undaunted by Madeleine's threat, and replied very indifferently, "Then I think this war will end with a great victory for the Cypriot army, and that's it." (To be continued.) )
