Abstract
While the right began to coalesce as a single faction and was led by the ethnarchy, AKEL had to contend with its intraparty issues. Specifically, the party’s stance toward self-government seemed to weaken when a member of the Central Committee (CC), Nikos Savvidis, on his return from Greece, informed the CC that KKE disagreed with AKEL’s “self-government-enosis” position.1 To clarify the issue, the CC commissioned party G.S. F. Ioannou and Pancyprian Federation of Labor (PEO) G.S. A. Ziartidis to travel to DSE headquarters in the Greek mountains for a meeting with KKE leadership regarding the tack they should take.2
