reaffirmed, and it was agreed, that the Greek Cypriots at

they will be given every help to lead a normal life,
including facilities for education and for the practice of
their religion, as well as medical care by their own doctors
and freedom of movement in the north.

Cypriots at present in the north who, at their own request
and without having been subjected to any kind of pressure,
