Rodger Paul Davies (May 7, 1921 – August 19, 1974) was an American diplomat who was killed in the line of duty on August 19, 1974, in Nicosia, Cyprus.
==Career==
Ambassador Davies was an American diplomat whose roles included director of the United States Department of State's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs until October 1965. Then until 1970 he was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs. After Davies's death, President Ford appointed William R. Crawford Jr., as his successor.〔August 22, 1974, "Ford and Kissinger in Tribute to Slain Cyprus Envoy", ''New York Times''〕
Ambassador Davies had been serving as the United States Ambassador to Cyprus since May 1973. It is alleged he was killed by Greek Cypriot gunmen during an anti-American demonstration outside the U.S. Embassy in Nicosia, where an estimated 300–600 Greek Cypriots were "demonstrating against the U.S.’s failure" to stop the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, which they perceived as the United States siding with Turkey.〔
Davies and Antoinette Varnavas, an embassy secretary and a Greek Cypriot national,〔August 20, 1974, "Woman Aide Dies; Bullets From Outside Penetrate Besieged Nicosia Embassy", ''New York Times''〕 were killed by sniper fire from a nearby building, believed to be gunmen from EOKA-B, a Greek Cypriot paramilitary terrorist organization whose goal was to unite Cyprus with Greece.〔August 21, 1974, ''Cyprus Arrest Warrants Issued for Three in Slaying of U.S. Envoy'', The New York Times〕 Afterwards, the U.S. government "immediately" sent his replacement, Ambassador to Yemen William R. Crawford, in order to demonstrate that "it was not blaming Greek-Cypriot authorities for the murder".
