The Canadian Parliament ap- proved dispatch of the force while the UN Security Council met in emergency session on charges by Cyprus that a Turk- ish invasion was imminent. Turkey had warned that it would intervene unless the gov- ernment of Greek-Cypriot Pres- ident Makarios halted, a "mas- sacre" of the Turkish-Cypriots. But the Turkish delegate scoffed at Cypriot charges that the invasion might come within hours. The council meeting ended late Friday night with a unani- mous resolution calling on all parties in the dispute to refrain from any action that might worsen the situation. DIVERSE CONCLUSIONS, Cypriot delegate Zenon Res- sides. said this meant the coun- cil had warned Turkey not to invade. Turkish delegate Orhan Eralp said it meant the Greek- Cypriots had been ordered to halt violence directed against the Turkish-Cypriot community. Eralp denied that Turkey's warning amounted to an ultima- tum. There, was ne See limit set, he said, and " ach Commons OKs 1150 Men For UN Duty UNITED NATIONS (CP)-- The status of the United Nations peace mission for Cyprus Fri- day night: TROOPS The Canadian Parliament in a special Ottawa session ap- proved a government resolution asking approval for the sending of 1,150 soldiers and air force members to Cyprus. An ad- vance party of 11 Canadians was.on the way to Cyprus by air. Sweden announced it had be- gun recruiting a contingent of 800. Ireland offered 500 men with some 'apparently acceptable conditions. Finland and Austria were con- sidering requests for troops. Brazil turned down a UN re- quest for troops. Britain expects to provide 3,500 men for the proposed 7,000- man force. Turk Denies War Threat have to be put into effect im- mediately." Rossides told reporters after the meeting the invasion threat had. died down as soon as the emergency council session was called, at his request. Earlier in the day Eralp had handed a copy of the Turkish statement to Thant together with a note saying his govera- ment had decided "to take ap- propriate action" if the Cypriot overnment did not comply with urkey's de " The note added that '"'the force which will be sent to the island . . . will be entrusted with the exclusive task of put- ting an end to the massacre perpetrated by the Greek-Cyp- riot terrorist organizati + jon against the Turkish commun- ity." Rossides told the council Tur- key's premier had threatened an invasion Friday night. Eralp replied that this "'ru- mor" was "a figment of some- body's imagination" and added that the invasion couldn't o:cur Friday night since it already was Saturday in Turkey. He added that it was a great source of satisfaction for Tur- key that the peace force now was being sent. Greek Ambassador Dimitri S. Bitsios said a Turkish invasion would "automatically and im- mediately" result in Greek in- tervention. Earlier in the day, after re- ceiving a copy of Turkey's warning. Thant had appealed to the Turkish government to re- consider its position and allow time for the UN force to get to Cyprus -- "however much pa- tients this may require.' Thant had asked a half-dozen countries for troops -immedi- ately after the Cyprus force was authorized by the council March 4. Britain, already helping to keep peace in its former colony, had promised to supply half the personnel for a 7,000-man force.

Hurt By NICOSIA--The tense situation over troubled Cyprus appeared to ease from the brink of- war today following a Turkish state- ment welcoming urgent moves to set up a United Nations peacekeeping force for the is- land. The Turkish statement, issued after a cabinet meeting late Friday, superseded an earlier warning to Cyprus of Turkish unilateral intervention if sweep- ing measures were not taken to restore peace and normality to the island. Reports that 10,000 Turkish troops had embarked in ships at Iskenderun, a seaport on Turkey's southern coast facing Cyprus, had backed the Turkish warning and heightened the al- ready sizzling tension in the three-month crisis. In Athens, a Greek govern- ment spokesman expressed sat- isfaction with the Turkish state- ment. Following a_ two-hour emergency cabinet meeting, a government source said the Greek armed forces would be in a state of preparedness until the UN force arrived in Cyprus and guaranteed the integrity of the island. A small reconnaissance party of Canadia soldiers and air- men was expected to arrive in Cyprus later in the day to ar- range for the landing of about 1,150 Canadian troops tenta- rho earmarked for the peace 'orce, WANTS ONE OTHER Canadian participation in the peace force is contingent on at least one other country besid Turk-Cypriots Move talks in Athens, where he had attended the funeral of King Paul, said if the Turks landed in- Cyprus the Greeks would come too, He saiq the Turkish warning constituted "further untenable" interference in the internal af- fairs of Cyprus.
