16 August 1974: " It is important that we should avoid
any suggestion that in favouring the geographical separation of the two
communities as the most viable solution of the Cyprus problem, we are
working for the partition of the island. Partition has a bad name
internationally. It would also be contrary to our obligations, both under
the 1960 Settlement and as a fellow-member with Cyprus of the Commonwealth
and the United Nations. I recommend that we should use the term
"bioregional federation". We should reserve the term 'cantonal
federation' for Mr. Gunes's proposal involving more than one area for each
community..." (Mr. A. C. Goodison, British Foreign Office official on
concealing Britains true policy for the partition of Cyprus)
