Reassessing Turkey: A Faithful Ally Disillusioned and in Trouble

Abstract

The US must make a decision soon; Turkey cannot wait much longer. It is this author's opinion that Turkey, though it no longer entertains a special feeling toward the US, would prefer the aid to come first from the US second from Western European nations, third from Middle Easter nations, and only as a last resort from the Soviet Union. Though even Ataturk cautioned about the necessity of maintaining close relations with the Russians, his hear belonged to the American. And though the hears of Turks no longer belong to Americans, their heads still do.
