I have studied the legal aspects of the Cyprus issue quite extensively. Never so far did I come across an advisory opinion of the Supreme Court of Cyprus that makes recommendations on Makarios' 13 amendments. Not surprisingly, 3 out of 4 of the references in this section are broken links that direct to non-existing webpages with the exception of the 4th reference whose link merely directs to the homepage of the Supreme Court of Cyprus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Trustworthy (talkcontribs) 10:05, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Change the name to "Thirteen Points"

[edit]

It seems more common.

  • Richter 2010 uses the term "thirteen points"
  • Mirbagheri 2014 uses the term "thirteen points"

Vs

Changes I have made

[edit]
  1. transferred the text of the 13 points to wikisource. [2]
  2. removed sections "Makarios's justification for The Thirteen Amendments" and section "Turkish Cypriot response". It is easy to understand why the first section ought to go.(see oldid=908828410) The second section was awkward. It was a synthesis of non-RS and Primary Sources.
