MEMORANDUM
April 2, 1985
To :
SENATOR DOLE
From:
Ann AL LEHN DAVE CORDOVA
Regarding :
YOUR MEETING WITH TURKISH PRIME MINISTER OZAL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2:45 PM
OZAL AND TURKISH POLITICS. Turgut OZAL (uh-ZAHL) became Prime Minister in 1983, when his newly-formed Motherland Party won an absolute majority in Turkey's first democratic elections since the 1980 military coup. As Prime Minister, Ozal is the second most powerful political figure in Turkey, behind President Kenan EVRAN (eh-VRAN), the armed forces commander who led the 1980 coup and had himself elected President in 1982.
The two men work well together and are not political rivals. Evran retains responsibility for most national security issues. Ozal is in day-to-day charge of the Government and handles economic issues.
DOMESTIC SCENE. The 1980 coup by the military was sparked because the badly fragmented civilian government could not deal with rampant terrorism (that year, terrorist-related deaths averaged 23 per day) and a breakdown of the economy. Keeping the lid on terrorism, especially in the Kurdish-dominated southeastern part of the country, and generating rapid but stable economic development remain Ozal's top domestic priorities. The Turkish economy has made some progress under his regime -- 1984 economic growth was nearly 6% and exports were up. Serious economic problems remain, however, including 20% unemployment and 50% inflation.
FOREIGN RELATIONS. The US is Turkey's most important ally, and our bilateral relations are generally excellent. Turkey has among the best "burden-sharing" records in NATO, and it offers us generous access to its military bases. The principal issues/problems in our bilateral relations are: (1) fluctuating levels of US security assistance; (2) Turkey's relations with Greece, including the Cyprus issue; and (3) human rights issues, including the Armenian genocide issue.
Turkey's other key relationships are with: (1) Greece, where mutual hostility has accelerated since Papandreou took over in Athens; (2) the other NATO countries, with most of whom Turkey has good relations; and (3) with its Middle East neighbors, with all of whom, Arab states and Israel alike, Ankara retains cordial ties.
NOTE: ISSUES/TALKING POINTS ON ATTACHED SHEET.
3 or 4 not Dole

(Page 7)
ISSUES/TALKING POINTS
o NATO AND BILATERAL SECURITY RELATIONS. Turkey defends one-third of the length of NATO's borders with the Warsaw Pact, maintains the largest standing military force in NATO and is near the top in its contribution to the Alliance (in terms of percentage of GNP). Under a special bilateral arrangement, we have excellent access to Turkish military bases. TALKING POINTS:
-- US DEEPLY APPRECIATES TURKEY'S STAUNCH SUPPORT FOR NATO.
-- NATO BURDEN-SHARING IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE IN CONGRESS, BUT WE KNOW THAT TURKEY IS DOING ITS SHARE.
o US SECURITY ASSISTANCE TO TURKEY. Turkey badly needs our military aid and also sees it as a barometer of our political commitment to our alliance. It resents having its aid tied arbitrarily to a 7-10 formula vis a vis Greece. Ozal may well complain about the SFRC action last week to cut Turkey's FY86 security assistance from $785 to $715 million, to reassert the 7-10 formula and to increase the concessionality of aid to Greece even in the face of Papandreou's anti-American statements and the Greek-caused breakdown of the Cyprus "summit" (see below). TALKING POINTS:
-- SHOULD NOT TAKE ANY REDUCTIONS IN PLANNED AID TO TURKEY AS SIGN OF LESSENING US COMMITMENT TO OUR ALLIANCE. SOLE CAUSE IS BUDGETARY PRESSURES.
-- (if asked about 7-10) OPPOSE ARBITRARY FORMULAS. WE SHOULD MAKE OUR DECISIONS BASED ON US INTERESTS IN/NEEDS OF EACH COUNTRY .
-- HOPE YOU WILL JUDGE US BY TOTALITY OF OUR RELATIONS WITH YOU, NOT BY COMPARING OUR RELATIONS WITH/AID TO OTHER COUNTRIES .
o CYPRUS. The January "summit" of Turkish and Greek Cypriot leaders broke down when the Greek side sought to renegotiate the ground rules and agenda already worked out in the preceding, lengthy "proximity talks" arranged by the UN Secretary General. TALKING POINTS:
-- APPRECIATE WILLINGNESS OF TURKISH SIDE TO ENGAGE IN SUMMIT AND TO COME TO TALKS IN CONSTRUCTIVE FRAME OF MIND.
-- DISAPPOINTED IN BREAKDOWN OF TALKS. NOT IMPORTANT TO POINT FINGERS OF BLAME. KEY THING IS GETTING TALKS GOING AGAIN.
-- NEGOTIATIONS ARE ONLY HOPE FOR LASTING SOLUTION.
-- HOPE NEITHER SIDE WILL TAKE UNILATERAL ACTIONS TO PREVENT TALKS OR MAKE THEM MORE DIFFICULT.
-- (if asked about conditioning aid on Cyprus developments) DO NOT SUPPORT SUCH CONDITIONALITY. BELIEVE IT IS COUNTER- PRODUCTIVE.
(Page 8)
ISSUES/TALKING POINTS
Page 2
o ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION. The Turks are enormously sensitive to charges that Turkey engaged in genocide against its Armenian minority early in this century. Ozal may well ask about the status of and your position on the resolutions floating around the Hill to set April 24 as Armenian Genocide remembrance day. TALKING POINTS:
-- (if asked) APPRECIATE SENSITIVITY OF ISSUE TO YOUR GOVERNMENT.
-- HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE WHO SUPPORT RESOLUTIONS HERE DO SO FOR HUMANITARIAN REASONS, NOT BECAUSE OF DESIRE TO CONDEMN/EMBARRASS TURKEY.
-- HOPE IS THAT ISSUE WILL NOT COME TO FORMAL VOTE IN SENATE BUT CAN'T PROMISE.
o TEXTILE EXPORTS TO US. There has been a substantial increase in Turkish textile exports to the US, and there are growing domestic pressures to restrict further growth. We have formally requested textile quota talks with Ankara. TALKING POINTS:
-- (if asked) BELIEVE IT IS IN OUR MUTUAL LONG-TERM INTEREST TO SUPPORT MAXIMUM FREEDOM IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE.
-- IS STRONG DOMESTIC PRESSURE FROM OUR TEXTILE INDUSTRY TO RESTRICT RAPIDLY GROWING IMPORTS.
-- HOPE MUTUALLY ACCEPTABLE FORMULA CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH TEXTILE TALKS.
