The Greek units sailed from Piraeus, Crete and other Greek ports Saturday night. The force included destroyers, troop carriers and landing craft. Defence Minister Peter Far- oufalias said the Greek exercise! was planned a year ago and had no connection with the Cy- prus crisis, But it underscored the Greek government's warn- ing last week -- after Turkish naval units manoeuvres off the Cypriot coast--that it would op- pose any Turkish intervention on Cyprus. The American ships arrived off Crete four days ago in prep- aration for the three-day .man- oeuvres with the units from Turkey, easternmost member of ganization (NATO). Three Turk-' ish submarines are taking part in the manoeuvres. Greek officials said last week that Greece, also a NATO mem- ber, would not participate be- cause of the presence of Turk- ish vessels. But informed U.S. Turkish Force Joins U.S. Fleet Maneuver wes believed the visit may be vancelled. Two Greek - Cypriot cabinet ministers arrived, today to seek a common policy on the dan- gerous Cyprus problem with Premier Géorge Papandreou's new Greek government, They reported that they brought a message for Papan- dreou from President Makarios but declined to discuss it. Pas pandreou's government has em- phasized it will support only such peace proposals for Cyp- rus as are acceptable to Ma- karios. The two are Cypriot Com merce Min Andreas Ara ousos, who also is acting as for- eign minister, and Interior Min- ister Polycarpos Georgadjis. The Cypriots said they planned to confer with the pre- mier tonight after a meeting with Foreign Minister Stavros Costopoulos. Before leaving Cyprus, the two ministers told of their hope of forging a common policy with the Greeks for the problems posed by Greek - Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot fighting.
