Greece and Turkey, poised for war over Cyprus, are both calmed by the intervention of world diplomacy. Talks in Athens and Ankara help to avert war. U.S., British, and UN families were evacuated from Cyprus as a precaution. A black screen reads, "Cyprus Crisis - Diplomats Trying To Avert War." Foreign civilians pass through customs offices during an evacuation. Passports get stamped by clerks, a women speaks into a microphone and luggage is lines along a sidewalk. Civilians are escorted to an awaiting passenger jet. The plane's crew greets passengers as they walk up stairs into the plane. Diplomats exit a plane and walk down stairs to be greeted by state representatives. The diplomats get into a car and drive off. The Greek flag waves over an office. Various diplomats pull up in their cars and walk into the building. Hand shaking.
