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 (talk • contribs) 10:05, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Change the name to "Thirteen Points"

It seems more common.

• Google Scholar: 167[1] vs 74"thirteen+amendments"+cyprus&btnG= for terms ["thirteen points" cyprus] Vs ["thirteen amendments" cyprus]

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

Vs

• Ker-Lindsay 2011 uses the term thirteen amendments Cinadon36 21:01, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Changes I have made

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. Cinadon36 22:37, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
